	Linolenic acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linolenic acid is an 18-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid with three double bonds.
		Another isomer of linolenic acid is γ(gamma)-linolenic acid (n-6) (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid which is the product of desaturation of Linoleic acid.
		This fatty acid is rare in food, though it is found in borage, flcurrant, evening primrose and hemp seeds.

	Gamma-linolenic acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid that exists primarily in plant fats.
		A common misconception is that most people have a lack of both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in their diets, but in fact most people only require supplementation of the omega-3 fatty acids found in flax seed and most fish, including salmon.
		Not to be confused with linolenic acid which is the omega-3 fatty acid found in flax seed.
