Evening Primrose Oil is a powerful plant extract and is one of the richest known sources of GLA.
The plant acquired the primrose name because its bright yellow flowers resemble primrose flowers; its flowers open in the evening, hence its current name.
Evening Primrose Oil is exceptionally high in Gamma-Linolenic Acid or GLA, an Omega 6 fatty acid, with an essential role in the body for the production of certain hormones (prostaglandins), which regulate many body functions such as blood pressure and the reproductive cycle. Many women choose to take a supplement of Evening Primrose Oil around the time of their period or when undergoing the menopause. It is also popular with anyone wanting to keep their skin well nourished and in good condition.
In our experience, Evening Primrose Oils are certainly not all the same quality and some of the lowest priced oils offer the poorest value, because of disappointing GLA levels. Life Long Products have sourced a manufacturer of Evening Primrose Oil, where the product is rigorously tested to ensure that the GLA levels are consistent and that the amount claimed on the label is the minimum amount present in each vegetarian capsule.
