LifeTime Primrose Seed Oil, 1300mg, 50 Capsules, Evening Primrose Seed Oil

It is extremely important to consume omega-6 fatty acids through your diet because your body cannot synthesize them on its own. The most important omega-6 fatty acid is GLA, which is obtained from evening primrose, borage seeds, black currants, and black cumin. Unlike the other omega-6 fatty acid, arachidonic acid, which has a pro-inflammatory effect and is found mainly in animal products, GLA calms inflammation. Most GLA in the body is converted to DGLA, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

Adequate intake of magnesium, zinc, and vitamins C, B3, and B6 help convert GLA into DGLA. Omega 6 fatty acids, and especially GLA, play an important role in cardiovascular health (blood flow and circulation, reducing cholesterol and high blood pressure), hormone regulation, and skin health. External use is recommended, as well as consumption of the oil for problems with dry skin, dandruff, and more severe skin problems such as psoriasis, skin allergies, eczema, acne, and neurodermatitis. The oil prevents dryness and cracking of nails, and is also used for scalp care because it prevents dandruff and hair breakage.

The effects of evening primrose oil on women's health have been known since ancient times. By improving circulation, it enables better blood flow, oxygen and nutrient supply, making it effective against fatigue.

Thanks to its effect on hormone regulation, it is used for the proper function of the uterus and the reproductive system. Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, it is used to alleviate menstrual problems, hot flashes, pain, bloating, breast swelling, headaches and mood swings.

Evening primrose oil is obtained by cold pressing ripe seeds, and is available on the market as oil or in capsules. When choosing capsules, it is necessary to pay attention to the GLA content in one capsule. You should always choose standardized products in order to take an adequate amount of the active component. It is equally important to choose proven manufacturers and products in glass, dark packaging. The oil is very sensitive to light, oxidation and spoils easily, and glass packaging best protects the contents from external influences.

Evening primrose is best taken after a meal for two months, after which it is good to take a break. Due to the lack of studies and tests, it is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
