Super Primrose 1300mg - 60 Capsules - Now Foods

The natural solution to reduce premenstrual syndrome.

NOW Super Primrose Oil is extracted through a natural process without the use of chemicals, hexane or other solvents, it is the most potent and concentrated form of Evening Primrose Oil you can find.

It is a good vegetarian source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that provides important health benefits. The oil extracted from the seeds by first cold pressing is extremely rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). It contains 72% linoleic acid and 10% gamma-linolenic acid. The latter is a precursor of prostaglandins, substances that act on the menstrual cycle.

Clinical studies have shown that Evening Primrose Oil, taken during the second half of the cycle, reduces premenstrual syndrome acting on its manifestations: depression, irritability, breast tension, abdominal pain, water retention and headaches .

Researchers report that a deficiency in GLA causes an abnormal sensitivity to the hormone prolactin, which leads to premenstrual symptoms. As one of the safest and most concentrated forms of GLA (gamma linolenic acid), evening primrose oil remains one of the most important sources of essential fatty acids available in the diet.

Taken for centuries to promote health, we now know that GLA promotes healthy cellular activity. Once ingested, GLA is converted into prostaglandins - natural metabolites that have a major influence on the normalization of the immune system as well as the inflammatory response.

This super concentrated formula contains 1300mg of Evening Primrose Oil, providing three times more GLA than normal.
