Vitals Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg organic

The evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is known for its beautiful yellow flowers and is native to South and North America, but can now be found in many countries.

Source of gamma-linolenic acid
Evening primrose oil is naturally a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that is rarely found in the diet. The body can, in principle, produce GLA itself from (cis) linoleic acid. However, in situations where there is an increased need, it may be useful to supplement the diet with a GLA supplement. Factors that can play a role here include excessive consumption of trans fatty acids, saturated fats, sugar, alcohol, and carbohydrates.
