More about Evening Primrose Oil
Suggested Use: Two to five soft gels daily, with food, or as directed by your health care professional or pharmacist.
The oil that comes from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant contains a high amount of its active ingredient, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an oil much like the essential fatty acids (EFA) of the omega-6 variety. In fact, GLA is a precursor of the EFA arachidonic acid, but even more important to its potential therapeutic benefits, GLA leads to the important prostaglandin E1 series (PGE1).
The use of Evening Primrose Oil as a nontoxic source of GLA is a good mix of nutrition and herbal medicine. There has been a great deal of research with GLA in the last decade, much of it conducted in England where the majority of evening primrose oil is made.
Evening Primrose Oil is a natural, and the richest, source of Gamma-Linolenic acid. It contains about 72% Linoleic acid and 9 percent GLA. Since it contains the essential GLA, evening primrose oil is highly valuable to those who cannot otherwise form enough GLA. This would include those who do not get enough essential fatty acids in their diet, drink or have drunk excessive amounts of alcohol, have low thyroid function, or have received radiation treatment. The direct source of GLA takes the pressure off the body to produce the necessary amount of GLA for optimum health.
Preliminary studies in Sweden are relating Evening Primrose Oil to an anti-oxidant in that it also counter acts the formation of free radicals. Free radicals are most often associated with the aging process. Maintaining health is just one of the benefits of Evening Primrose Oil. It is also being studied extensively in England and Europe for its pain reduction in association with arthritis, controlling complications of diabetes, controlling liver and kidney damage due to alcohol, depression, Multiple sclerosis, skin/hair/nail repair, and most impressively, controlling severe symptoms of PMS.
A study at St. Thomas Hospital in London found that when PMS suffers were given evening primrose oil three times daily, 67% of the participants were symptom-free and 22% achieved partial relief. (In all total, 89% had positive results with the evening primrose oil.)
