How it works

Evening Primrose Oil provides 10% Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an essential Omega 6 Fatty Acid (EFA). EFAs, often missing from the diet, cannot be manufactured in the body and are needed for synthesising compounds such as prostaglandins. Many people cannot make enough GLA for optimal health, due to genetic limitation, nutrient deficiency or blockage by other dietary factors. Evening Primrose Oil is an ideal way of obtaining GLA and it is free of blocking agents.

GLA, in Evening Primrose Oil, is converted to Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in the body. PGE1 is a hormone-like compound which controls many of the body's essential functions. These include blood fat levels, acne, eczema, circulation, menopause, menstrual cramps, and weight control.

Essential fatty acids are needed for healthy skin and hair. Deficiency in EFAs results in skin lesions, flaking, dandruff, brittle nails and thinning hair.

Dietary intake of GLA in Evening Primrose Oil helps to keep blood “slippery” and prevent clotting because PGE1 reduces blood platelet adhesion.

Increased levels of PgE1 helps balance levels of the inflammatory series 2 Prostaglandin (PGE2) leukotrienes and other highly inflammatory agents, helping to maintain healthy joints and improve mobility.
