Features:
1) Active substances: gamma linolenic
2) Standard: 8% - 10% gamma linolenic
3) This seed oil is the most popular source of the Omega 6 essential
fatty acid gamma linoleic acid (GLA). There are different grades
of evening primrose oil, which yield different GLA levels. As the
evening primrose is a very delicate plant, climatic conditions have
an impact on the GLA levels and the yield from the crop. Typically oils
containing between 8% and 10% of the essential fatty acid content of
the oil are used in dietary supplements
4) Gamma Linoleic Acid is required by the body for the production of
prostaglandins. These are hormone-like substances that regulate
several bodily functions, such as the menstrual cycle, blood clotting
and blood pressure, as well as helping to maintain healthy skin
5) GLA is produced naturally in the body from fats in a well-balanced
diet, forming a vital component for the normal functioning of the body.
A constant supply of GLA is required to maintain the level of prostaglandins
in the body. However, sometimes in many women, GLA production by the
body is inefficient, and a natural source dietary supplement containing
GLA can be useful
