Solgar – Evening Primrose Oil 1300mg
- Natural source of essential omega-6 fatty acid
- Provides GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid)
- Easy to swallow softgels
- Free from sugar, salt and starch
Solgar ® Evening Primrose Oil 1300 mg is a source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid and is derived from the evening primrose plant, which grows in North America and blooms with bright yellow flowers in the evening, giving it its name.
Often taken by women seeking a natural solution to hormonal support and recommended by natural practitioners to support healthy nourished skin. The beneficial effects of evening primrose oil (EPO) are generally associated with the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content of this oil, which is involved in the production of the hormones, known to support areas of health pertinent to women of child bearing years.
The oil used in this product is from the pressed seeds of the primrose plant which is the rich source of omega 6, a fatty acid. There are few foods that contain this important fatty acid and although your body can make it, it is not very efficient so you could benefit from taking a supplement.
Solgar ® Evening Primrose Oil 1300 mg is a natural source of the essential omega-6 fatty acid, and comes in an easy to take softgel with recommended dosage containing 1300 mg. The softgels are gluten, wheat and dairy free.
All Solgar ® products meet our industry recognized “Gold Standard” for excellence. Made using naturally sourced ingredients and innovating since 1947, Solgar ® is your perfect supplement to good health – 98% of Solgar ® consumers recommend the brand.
Description
Evening primrose oil is a source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), which can sometimes be limited due to its conversion from linolenic acid requiring the enzyme delta-6-desaturase. Evening primrose provides approximately 10% GLA.
Diabetic Neuropathy
• Research has suggested that evening primrose may be supportive in relieving diabetic neuropathic pain due to its role in anti-inflammatory prostaglandin production.
Female Health
• Scientific studies have demonstrated that omega-6 fatty acids in the form of GLA from evening primrose oil may be helpful in reducing the pain and tenderness associated with pre-menstrual breast pain and fibrocystic breasts.
• GLA is suggested by research to be helpful in relieving some symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (e.g. mood changes), due to its role in anti-inflammatory prostaglandins production.
Inflammation
• In theory, the GLA content of evening primrose oil is believed to be anti-inflammatory, due to its role in anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.
Skin Health
• Evening primrose oil has been suggested to be supportive for skin health due to its GLA content and it’s role in anti-inflammatory prostaglandin production.
