Evening Primrose
Oil (500 mg)
Evening primrose oil is
extracted from the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis), a
wildflower found in North America, Europe and parts of Asia. The plant's
pale yellow flowers open in the evening--hence its common name--and its
seeds bear the special fatty oil that is used in healing today.
Evening Primrose Oil
contains naturally occurring Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is an
Omega-6 fatty acid found in Evening Primrose, Borage and Black Currant
seed oils. Although the body can manufacture GLA from dietary linoleic
acid, it can be more efficiently utilized for body functions when
supplied directly by these dietary sources. Once processed in the body,
GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid, exerts anti-inflammatory and other healing
actions. Specifically, evening primrose oil may help to:
relieve the
discomforts of PMS (premenstrual syndrome), menstruation, endometriosis
and fibrocystic breasts, ease the joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid
arthritis, prevent diabetes-associated nerve
damage, reduce the symptoms of eczema, help treat acne and rosacea,
alleviate inflammation associated with lupus, lessen numbness and
tingling, combat damage from multiple sclerosis, protect against the
effects of aging, counter impotence and female infertility, and nourish
nails, scalp, and hair.*
