New Roots Evening Primrose Oil 500mg 90 Softgels
- Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg Cold-pressed Evening Primrose Oil includes a minimum of 10% gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), acknowledged for its benefits to women's health
- The present interest in EPO stems from its fatty acid profile, with a typical composition of approximately 70% linoleic acid (LA) and 10% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)
- Linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid present in nuts, seeds, and various vegetable oils (including EPO), needs conversion within the body
- Unfortunately, numerous factors can disrupt this process, including saturated fats, hydrogenated oils, blood-glucose issues, and insufficient dietary intake of vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins
- In contrast, gamma-linoleic acid does not demand this conversion, making it a favorable source for the body's prostaglandin production
