FoodScience's Primrose 500mg 180Caps Description: Primrose 500mg 180Caps.--- Primrose is Evening Primrose Oil. This oil has long been known toherbalists for its beneficial medicinal properties. It is rich in the Omega 6series of Essential Fatty Acids.ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA?S) AND THEIR CONNECTIONTO EVENING PRIMROSE OIL:Essential Fatty Acids (EFA?s) are vitamin-like substances which can?t bemanufactured by the body and therefore need to be provided in the diet.They are vital components of all membrane structures in the body and arealso involved in the production of prostaglandins. One of the mostimportant EFA?s involved in beneficial prostaglandin production isGamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).THE IMPORTANCE OF GAMMA LINOLENIC ACID (GLA):Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is normally produced in the body fromLinoleic Acid (LA), another Essential Fatty Acid. However, because ofconsumption of overly processed foods, saturated fats, too muchalcohol and the aging process, most of us are deficient in the ability toconvert Linoleic Acid into GLA, thereby seriously inhibiting theproduction of one of the important series of prostaglandins, PGE1.*Prostaglandins (PG?s) are hormones involved in the second-by-secondregulation of organ function. There are approximately 30Prostaglandins, each highly specific in its function.The GLA formed in the body is eventually converted intoDihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA), which in turn is converted into thevery important Prostaglandin E1 that supports skin and nerve health andhelps reduce symptoms associated with PMS.*Known causes of inadequate GLA formation include:? Diets rich in saturated fats? Diets rich in processed vegetable oils that contain unusable kindsof fatty acids (trans fatty acids)? Moderate to high consumption of alcohol? Aging? A deficiency of zinc, magnesium and Vitamin B6THE BEST EVENING PRIMROSE OIL SUPPLEMENTAVAILABLE:Primrose contains at least 69% cis-linoleic acid (?cis? means that this isa biologically active form) in addition to 9% of the all important GammaLinolenic Acid (GLA).*Primrose is assayed for content and purity of formulation.Certificates of assay are available from the company upon request.Because it is costly to produce quality Primrose products, they are on the higherend of the price scale. But once again, the old adage, ?You get what you payfor,? certainly applies. A ?bogus? Primrose Oil product which contains little orno GLA will not have the beneficial effects of Primrose.Primrose 500 mgSupplement Facts:Serving Size: 2 SoftgelsAmount Per Serving:Calories 10Calories from Fat 10Total Fat 1 gOil of Evening Primrose 1,000 mgYielding: Linoleic Acid 700 mgGamma Linolenic Acid 90 mgOther ingredients: gelatin, glycerin, water.Directions: As a dietary supplement, take 2 softgels, one half hour beforeeach meal.Sold Exclusively Through Retailers.
