Evening Primrose Oil is extracted from seeds of the plant Oenothera biennis. Whilst there is a large selection of Evening Primrose Oil supplements on the market, this product boasts a high level of the essential fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). By using a superior quality source plant, a GLA content as high as 12% is found. Fatty acids are very important molecules that are used to carry messages around the body and also to provide a source of fuel. Although particularly known as a supplement chosen by women with PMS, Evening Primrose Oil can be beneficial in a number of other areas. GLA is known to be involved in the production of a number of short-lived hormones called Prostaglandins. These messengers are used by the body to regulate many functions such as controlling inflammation, blood-flow to internal organs and brain function. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins to reduce inflammation.
Users of this well-established traditional supplement find that it can help in maintaining joint mobility.
