About this Product
The evening primrose plant grows wild in North America and blooms bright yellow flowers in
the evening, hence its name.
The oil pressed from the seeds is one of the richest natural
sources of an omega 6 fatty acid called gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which is responsible
for the oil's health benefits.
Traditionally, evening primrose oil was referred to as the ‘King’s
cure-all’ due to its many healing properties.
The body converts the GLA in evening primrose oil into hormone-like substances called
prostaglandins, which offer anti-inflammatory benefits and help to regulate hormones in the
pituitary gland. GLA is also essential for cell structure, nerve function and the elasticity of
the skin.
GLA is essential for the maintenance of good health but the body can’t make it, so it needs
to be consumed through the diet. Several factors can interfere with the conversion process,
such as the ageing process, alcoholism, poor nutrition, and health problems.
