EVENING PRIMROSE OIL
DESCRIPTION : Solvent-free,cold-pressed Evening Primrose Oil extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant.
BIOCHEMISTRY : Evening Primrose Oil is the best known source of the essential fatty acid, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is normally synthesized in the liver from dietary linoleic acid (LA). This reaction, however is frequently deficient in many people because of interference by sugar, saturated fats, and trans-fatty acids (margarine). In addition the conversion requires Vitamins B-3, B-6, and C as well as the minerals magnesium, zinc, and copper. Any deficiencies of these nutrients will affect the conversion.
PHYSIOLOGY : GLA is part of the Omega 6 series of essential fatty acids and is the critical precursor to the series 1 prostaglandins and other hormones in the body. The PGE1 series prostaglandins along with the PGE3 series protect the body against the deleterious effects of PGE2 series prostaglandins, such as high blood pressure, sticky platelets, inflammation, water retention, and lowered immune function. The series 2 prostaglandins are made from arachidonic acid which is derived from consumption of excess animal products.
INDICATIONS : Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the beneficial effects of GLA for a wide variety of disorders including Atherosclerosis, Diabetes Mellitus, Eczema, Multiple Sclerosis, and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 100-200 mg/day GLA, 500-1500 mg per day- Evening Primrose Oil
TOXICITY, CAUTIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS: No known toxicity associated with Evening Primrose Oil. Excess consumption can result in oily skin, an indication to decrease dosage.
