Linoleic Acid

Linoleic Acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the group of omega-6 fatty acids. It is one of two essential fatty acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained from food.

Linoleic acid is involved in many physiological processes, including the functioning of the immune system, regulation of inflammation, and hormone synthesis. It is part of cell membranes, maintaining their integrity and permeability. It is also a precursor to other important omega-6 acids such as arachidonic acid.

The main sources of linoleic acid are vegetable oils (sunflower, corn, soybean), nuts, seeds. The recommended daily intake for an adult is 12-17 grams. Excessive intake of linoleic acid may have pro-inflammatory effects.

Linoleic acid, also known as eicosene dibasic acid, is a major component of the omega-6 family of unsaturated fatty acids and one of the three essential fatty acids found in the human diet. This substance is found in plant and animal foods. Linolic acid is important for the functioning of the human body, as it plays an important role in the synthesis of various cellular structures, including proteins, fats and cell membranes. It is also involved in the formation of hormones and biologically active substances such as prostaglandins. In addition, linoleic acids have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Linolic acid can be found in sunflower seeds, olive oil, peanuts, tuna and other foods. Lack of linoleic acid can lead to various diseases such as alopecia, acne, psoriasis and other skin diseases. Excess acid can cause cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol and digestive problems, so it is important to maintain an optimal balance of linolanic acid. One of the methods for treating linolase acid deficiency is dietary supplements containing acids and other substances beneficial to the body. However, you should consult your doctor before taking such supplements.
