Evening Primrose Oil
Essential to good health, Evening Primrose Oil is by far the
richest source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA).
All of the membranes and tissues in our body require Essential Fatty Acids (EFAS) to maintain normal balance and growth. EFAs are essential to our daily diet because they can not be manufactured by the body and without them, our body is sent into turmoil causing sickness and disease. Essential Fatty Acids must be supplied by our diet, and although many foods contain the EFAs needed, our eating habits, life-styles and individual metabolism indicates that people generally have insufficient EFA levels. Essential Fatty Acids are fundamental to life and good health. A healthy metabolic system is capable of completing the chemical chain reaction, however with improper dietary habits and lifestyle this chain will break.
Evening Primrose Oil takes on the role of both nutrient and remedial dietetic. After extensive testing, on human subjects, EPO has been found to be effective in the following:

Made from Evening Primose seeds, it takes 5,000 seeds to extract 500mg of oil with 86% of the fatty acids being polyunsaturated. Raw Evening Primrose Oil is extremely perishable and must be added to a natural antioxidant like Vitamin E, to preserve and stabilize the oil. Vitamin E in itself is an Antioxidant that protects the body from the damage caused by free radicals in the body, and promotes healing. Vitamin E, is the only additive or preservative added to our Evening Primose Oil.
