Perilla Oil Benefits
- Perilla oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a short-chain omega-3 fatty acid, which is essential for cell and mitochondrial membranes.
- ALA helps uncouple mitochondria and reduces LPS (lipopolysaccharides) in the bloodstream, improving gut microbiome diversity and gut wall integrity.
- Perilla oil contains rosmarinic acid, a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic compound that promotes neuronal growth by enhancing BDNF production.
- Use perilla oil mixed with olive oil for salad dressing, or use it exclusively to improve leaky gut; it can also be used for cooking due to its high smoke point.
- Choose organic varieties of perilla oil, which are becoming more readily available in stores and online.
