There are two families of essential fatty acids: the Omega-3 and Omega-6 series. Both series are vitally important for ensuring optimal nutrition, and since the body is unable to manufacture them from other nutrients (hence the term "essential"), it is essential that both series of fatty acids be present in the diet.
This product combines evening primrose oil with borage seed oil to create a combination that is richer in Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) than plain evening primrose oil.
GLA is the precursor of a particularly important type of prostaglandin called PGE1, which is involved in the regulation of the nervous, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems, skin condition, and other biological functions. Although the body can produce GLA from linoleic acid (the omega-6 fatty acid found in olive oils), it is also important for the body to produce GLA from the following sources: (vegetables) this process is sometimes slow or may be partially blocked. Hence, a dietary source of GLA, by avoiding the conversion process, is very useful for the body.
Furthermore, numerous clinical studies have established that GLA supplements can be effective in a variety of situations.
This product provides approximately 50% more GLA per capsule than similarly sized evening primrose oil capsules, and each capsule also provides 10 mg of vitamin E.
