Description
GMPVitas Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg is carefully extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plants without the use of hexane, a chemical solvent. For years, evening primrose was eaten as a vegetable and was used by Native Americans for healing wounds. Today, this plant is used primarily for its oil production, which provides a range of therapeutic properties. This oil has proven itself to be the strongest evidence for treatment of skin conditions. It contains high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a natural and essential source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, and is good for dry and mature skin. It also soothes inflammation and can be used in dandruff applications. Small amounts are often added to other carrier oils for fortification. Furthermore, it helps in alleviating the itchiness that can be caused by dermatitis and eczema. Each Evening Primrose Oil softgel supplies 45 mg of GLA. GLA is a dietary Omega-6 found in plant oils and may be used to support relief of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.* It may also support hormonal balance and help maintain smooth, healthy looking skin.* Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement, take 1-2 softgels daily with a meal or as directed by your professional physician.
