Evening Primrose Oil

Evening Primrose Oil is an excellent source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)(Omega 6), Linoleic Acid (Omega 6) and Oleic Acid (Omega 9). These are essential fatty acids that are vital to maintaining the structure of human cells. They are converted in the body to prostaglandins, hormones necessary for many bodily functions. These functions include hormone balance within the cells, maximizing blood flow and creating a smooth, healthy looking skin structure.*

Evening primrose oil is of particular aid to women around menstruation because it regulates prostaglandins. These hormone-like messengers help regulate the reproductive system and maintain hormonal balance. It also seems to benefit the menstrual cycle.

Evening primrose oil gives skin better fluidity and flexibility against the signs of aging on the skin. It also is important in oxygen transfer in the blood and assists in blood cell production as well as controlling nutrient transport within cell membranes. A great portion of the brain is made up of essential fatty acids, of which several are contained in evening primrose oil.

Our Evening Primrose Oil comes in all vegan capsules and helps many bodily function by providing essential fatty acids to the body.*
