Description

DESCRIPTION

Evening Primrose Oil provides a source of the omega-6 fatty

acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA). The evening primrose oil

used in this formula is derived from pure, expeller pressed,

hexane-free oil. Hexane is a solvent that may be used to

maximize oil extraction but is toxic. Expeller pressing

produces little to no heat, which, in turn, helps maintain the

integrity of the fatty acids.

FUNCTIONS

Gamma linolenic acid is a fatty acid found primarily in

vegetable oils, one of the richest sources being evening

primrose oil. The human body produces GLA from linolenic

acid, however, a lack of GLA can occur when there is a

reduction in the efficiency of this process (such as occurs in

aging populations) or in disease states where there is excessive

consumption of GLA metabolites. Gamma linolenic acid is

the precursor to a class compounds known as prostaglandins,

specifically prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Among their functions,

prostaglandins regulate and can be either pro-inflammatory or

anti-inflammatory. Gamma linolenic acid favors the formation

of the latter, thus supporting healthy immune function.

Although further research is needed, GLA might help to

support a healthy immune response for conditions associated

with aberrant immune function, such as eczema. Other studies

suggest that GLA may help with neuropathies associated with

diabetes.

INDICATIONS

Evening Primrose Oil may be a useful dietary supplement

for those who wish to fortify their diet with GLA and support

healthy immune function.

SIDE EFFECTS

No adverse effects have been reported.
