Two fatty acids are better than one!

Each softgel of Evening Primrose Oil provides an exclusive, natural combination of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and linoleic acid for wide-ranging benefits.

As it supports your glandular system, Evening Primrose Oil helps strengthen tissues and may promote bone health.

And by adding vitamin E, our Evening Primrose Oil is optimized for absorption and bioavailability.

Evening primrose is a plant native to North and South America with yellow flowers that open at sunset and close during the day. Native Americans made poultices from evening primrose plants for bruises and wounds and used the stem and leaf juices as topical remedies for skin inflammations. Evening primrose oil became a popular folk remedy in Europe in the 17th century where it was known as “King’s cure-all.”

The seeds naturally contain important omega-6 essential fatty acids: GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and linoleic acid.

Omega-6 fatty acids like GLA function as precursors to prostaglandins in the body, which are hormone-like compounds that perform hundreds of important bodily functions and processes, including immune system support, anti-inflammation, heart health and hormonal responses. Linoleic acid is an important structural component of cell membranes and supports cell membrane properties like fluidity, flexibility and permeability.

Women, in particular, have traditionally used GLA at certain times of the month to support symptoms associated with their menstrual cycle such as mild mood changes, breast tenderness and cramps.*

Each preservative-free softgel provides GLA and linoleic acid. This GLA/linoleic acid combination is exclusive to Evening Primrose Oil.

And, the antioxidant properties of vitamin E in this formula protect the evening primrose oil from oxidative damage.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports circulation, helps to maintain the fluidity of the blood, and is necessary for maintenance of the skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle membranes. Vitamin E also assists in the production of certain enzymes that are needed to maintain overall health, prevent premature aging and keep tissue supple.
