Gamma Linolenic Acid Market

Report Highlights

Gamma Linolenic Acid Market Outlook

Gamma linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid which plays important functions to maintain human health. Gamma linolenic acid is found in a few seed oils such as borage, evening primrose, and blackcurrant. The omega-6 fatty acids are not produced in the body, and thus, are obtained through diet and supplements. The omega-6 fatty acids are required to maintain heart health, mood balance, and insulin utilization. Therefore, gamma linolenic acid is an important omega-6 fatty acid that offers various health benefits. On consumption of gamma linolenic acid, the body further converts it into another form which helps in reducing inflammation. Gamma linolenic acid is a high-value fatty acid which is used in dietary supplements, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, animal nutrition, and food and beverage industry.

Several Health Benefits of Gamma Linolenic Acid boosts its Market

The increase in the occurrence of arthritis is estimated to boost the demand for gamma linolenic acid. According to the study published by the Arthritis Foundation, in 2017, around 54.4 million of the Americans are suffering from doctor-diagnosed arthritis. The joint pain and swelling is a common symptom of arthritis. The consumption of gamma linolenic acid is an excellent option as it helps to reduce inflammation and aids in preventing arthritis. Also, as the health-concern among the consumers is rising, there has been a big change in their lifestyle. The consumers prefer the use of products that contain nutritive ingredients and offer health benefits. Thus, as the number of patients with arthritis increases, the demand for products containing gamma linolenic acid is expected to increase.

As the body does not synthesize gamma linolenic acid, the humans have to depend on the external source to fulfill the body requirements. The deficiency of gamma-linolenic acid causes certain changes in body metabolism. Thus, the dependence on the external source to satisfy the gamma linolenic acid requirement is estimated to serve as a driver for its market.

Gamma linolenic acid offers various health benefits. Gamma linolenic acid is used as a medication for several health conditions such as allergies, high cholesterol, menopause, metabolic syndrome, and eczema. Also, the consumption of gamma linolenic acid decreases the symptoms of nerve damage due to diabetes. Some studies have also shown that the consumption of gamma linolenic acid helps to slow down the growth of tumors and also aids in improving the efficacy of certain anti-cancer drugs. The several health benefits of the gamma linolenic acid are anticipated to increase its demand in the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industry.
