There are two families of essential fatty acids, the Omega 3 and Omega 6 series. The two series are of vital importance to ensure optimal nutrition, and since the body is unable to manufacture them from other nutrients (hence the term "essential") it is essential that both series of fatty acids are present in the diet.
This product combines evening primrose oil with borage seed oil to generate a combination that is richer in Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) than plain primrose oil.
GLA is the precursor of a particularly important class of prostaglandins called PGE1, which are involved in regulating the nervous, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems, the state of the skin, and other biological functions. Although the body can produce GLA from Linoleic Acid (the Omega 6 fatty acid present in oils vegetables) this process is sometimes slow or can be partially blocked. Hence, a dietary source of GLA, by avoiding the conversion process, is very useful for the body.
On the other hand, numerous clinical studies have established that GLA supplements can be effective in various situations.
This product provides approximately 50% more GLA per capsule than similarly sized Evening Primrose Oil capsules, and each capsule also provides 10 mg of Vitamin E.
This product is preferred by:
• women during menopause.
