> I haven't read through all of this very carefully, but am I correct in inferring that supplementation with GLA (e.g., from evening primrose oil) appears likely to be beneficial, in addition to use of fish oil?
A better source is borage oil (near double the percentage of GLA).
The take-home message:
GLA is anti-inflammatory, helps regulate insulin sensitivity, enhances bone density, promotes hippocampal neuroplasticity, and may be the first word in a child's vocabulary. It works synergistically with fish oil, and with alpha-lipoic acid. So, I'd recommend taking all three (fish oil, borage/evening primrose/black currant seed oil, alpha-lipoic acid) together.
