Evening Primrose Oil

The evening primrose is a yellow-flowered plant which produces a seed oil rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs).  Specifically, evening primrose oil is one of the highest combined sources of alpha-linoleic acid (known as omega-6) and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), a readily useable form of omega-6. 

Why take Evening Primrose Oil?
Research has shown that the omega-6 series of fatty acids are of value in regulating inflammatory responses, in maintaining neurological health and ensuring nutrient absorption through cell membranes.  However, not all of us are able to manufacture the fatty acid GLA due to stress, nutritional deficiencies and/or genetic disadvantages.  Since evening primrose supplies about 11% pre-formed GLA, consuming evening primrose is an excellent way to provide your body with a reliable supply.

Who May Benefit from Evening Primrose Oil?
A diet lacking in nuts and seeds, which are rich sources of EFAs, is another reason to supplement with evening primrose oil.  However, the oil may be used therapeutically in individuals with inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), prostatitis, and  premenstrual syndrome (PMS).  In addition, considerable research has noted primrose oil to be of therapeutic value in children with attention deficit disorder (ADD).
