For prevent and alleviate allergies!
The biggest feature of Perilla oil is that it has the highest content of α-linolenic acid in omega 3!
When α-linolenic acid is taken into the body, it changes to a substance called prostaglandin and exerts various effects, one of which is the effect of suppressing allergic reactions.
The biggest difference from other omega 3 oils is phytochemicals.
Perilla oil contains a lot of phytochemicals such as rosmarinic acid and luteolin, both of which are effective in suppressing allergies!
Therefore, the allergy-suppressing effect of Perilla oil is the greatest among the oils!!
