Itchnon-gamma linolenic acid

What is gamma linolenic acid?

The main ingredients of Itchnon series are gamma-linolenic acid and vitamin E. γ -linolenic acid (gamma-linolenic acid) is one of the fatty acids (essential fatty acid), which is absolutely necessary for our human body. It is the substance that produced by metabolizing linoleic acid within body. However, there are increasing people who cannot change linoleic acid to γ -linolenic acid smoothly in their body. The reasons are lack of metabolism enzyme and depression of its action, lack of vitamin and trace element, or stress. At the same time γ -linolenic acid is important component substance for cell membrane, it has important action as a precursor of prostaglandin 1 series, to maintain the function of body system and cells in a normal way.

Effect and efficacy of γ – linolenic acid

γ -linolenic acidhas various functions. As a result of repeating investigation by maker, it is proven the improvement of “blood cells fluidity”. In other words, this makes red blood cells soft, and blood fluidity gets smooth as red blood cells become easier to get through blood vessel. This action is patented as “blood cells fluidity improvement agent” recently in Japan.

The details of proven effect of γ -linolenic acidis below.

We recommend γ -linoic acid for who ;

For who care about menopausal symptoms

Menopausal is deeply related to endocrine system, immune system, and nerve system. These three are concerning about blood fluidity. Itchnon slows the body change, and it helps your physical preparation. Moreover, this makes blood cells soft. By improving blood fluidity, it helps to balance your bones and liver cells.

For who care about diabetes and blood circulation

It is complications that very scary about diabetes. We recommend to be aware of written below for who has diabetes.

For who has premenstrual syndrome and menstrual cramps

These symptoms are caused by the change of women hormone balance. It is γ -linolenic acid that is related deeply to the hormone balance. It is reported in an academic conference of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology that women who have less γ - linolenic acid have worse symptoms of these. To manage menstruation, be aware of the points below.

How to take γ – linolenic acid?

Now, how should we do to take γ – linolenic acid? γ – linolenic acid, in this natural world, is included only in breast milk or in very few of plants (oenothera tetraptera).

Therefore, γ -linolenic acid oil is developed by using biotechnology. It has more γ -linolenic acid　than general evening primrose oil, and less linoleic acid. (When there include much linoleic acid, fatty peroxide, inconvenient substance for our body, is easier to be produced.) You might feel difficult only to hear the words “by using biotechnology”, but in a simple term, you can consider that it is utilizing “fermentation method”, the same way to make sake. (The main ingredient of sake is rice, and γ -linolenic acid is glucose sugar.) We can extract from γ -linolenic acid from oenothera tetraptera, borage, and black currant etc., but there are differences in contained amount and ingredient component by region or species, the supplying is also unstable. In fact, we had an experience that the harvest of those plants failed in the past, and we had difficulties to supply our product. On the other hand, γ -linolenic acid with fermentation method by microorganisms, it is produced by natural ingredient (glucose sugar) and microorganisms exist in natural world, it is possible to have stable supply and also it is not affected by the influence of heat and oxidation. Best of all, the contained amount of γ -linolenic acid is more than others, it is utilized not only in health supplement and cosmetic products, but also in products in different areas.
