Arcadia brings first biotech product to market

Checkbiotech Green, 25 February 2008
Oil made from Arcadia's genetically engineered safflower has a 40 percent concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), higher than evening primrose oil, with a 10 percent concentration, and borage oil, with about a 20 percent concentration.  GLA is an omega-6 essential fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties.  Research suggests that GLA supplements may provide health benefits.  Arcadia's safflower oil can be produced easily in large quantities, which is good news for consumers.
