What the Label Data Shows

According to NIH DSLD label rows, Mega GLA With Sesame Lignans sits in the top 29% of products with a countable formula by declared ingredient count.

Mega GLA With Sesame Lignans is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a botanical with nutrients supplement built from 14 ingredients from Life Extension, sold in softgel capsule form.

Off-market products are no longer being produced or distributed under this label, but the DSLD preserves their historical label data for researchers, consumers checking older bottles, and for tracking how formulations have evolved.

About the DSLD database

The DSLD is a label database, not an FDA approval list, under the 1994 DSHEA framework, dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval, and label information reflects what manufacturers self-declare rather than independent laboratory verification. This page presents factual label data for reference only and is not medical advice; consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about any supplement.
