Product Description:
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), obtained through cold-pressing to preserve its properties, is particularly valued for its benefits for women's health.
The Key Fatty Acids: LA and GLA
The main interest of EPO lies in its unique profile of essential fatty acids, notably:
- Linoleic Acid (LA): Approximately 70% (an essential fatty acid common in nuts and seeds).
- Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA): Guaranteed minimum content of 10%.
LA must be converted by the body to be utilized. Unfortunately, this process can be hindered by various factors (saturated fats, hydrogenated oils, blood sugar imbalances, deficiencies in nutrients like Vitamin C, Magnesium, Zinc, and B Vitamins).
In contrast to LA, Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) is immediately bioavailable. GLA requires no conversion, making it a remarkably efficient source for the body's production of prostaglandins, compounds essential for optimal bodily function.
