For centuries, Evening Primrose Oil has been used to provide nutritional support for women due to its hormonal balancing properties. It has been traditionally used to help support the symptoms of PMS, menopause, and infertility. It has also been suggested that it plays a major role in promoting smooth, healthy-looking skin.**
Evening Primrose Oil is one of the most concentrated sources of Gamma Linolenic Acid. Many factors can affect the body’s ability to convert Linoleic Acid into GLA. These include aging, intake of certain nutrients such as zinc, B6, magnesium, biotin and calcium, stress, and cholesterol levels. Therefore supplementing with Evening Primrose Oil, a natural source of GLA, can be so important for overall women’s health.**
These easy-to-swallow soft gels are a natural source of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid). Our Evening Primrose Oil contains one of the most biologically active forms of this Omega-6 fatty acid available today. The Evening Primrose Oil used for Vitamin World is 100% pure, solvent free, cold pressed and void of hexane and other solvent residues. Both potencies (1000 mg, or 1300 mg) deliver 9% GLA content, which helps to deliver an amount of GLA needed for achieving beneficial results.
