Evening Primrose Oil
|
Evening Primrose, a small yellow wildflower (Oenothera biennis), has been used medicinally for centuries. The oil, pressed from the seed, is rich in Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an Omega 6 essential fatty acid (EFA). "Essential" means that we have to consume the nutrient because the body does not produce it.
Fortunately, EFAs are plentiful in foods, notably nuts and seeds. Various foods actually contain small amounts of GLA, and the body produces GLA on its own from a number of dietary fats. Your body doesn’t make enough of it, however, so supplementation with Evening Primrose oil is needed. Evening Primrose oil offers an unusually concentrated source, with 7% to 10% of its fatty acids available in the form of GLA. Primrose Oil helps to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails, as well as helping to control and regulate cell growth.
