One of the two groups of therapeutic fatty acids is called omega 6. The active compound in omega 6 is called GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), and even though many vegetable oils used in our diet are a source of omega 6, they do not provide high amounts of GLA. Evening primrose oil is a rich source of GLA and not commonly part of the diet, so therapeutic doses are associated with supplements. The fatty acids in evening primrose oil help balance the hormone-like prostaglandins, which helps relieve symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), rheumatoid arthritis, and skin conditions without adverse effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tSISU Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg Product Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHigh potency, cold-pressed, hexane free evening primrose seed oil\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tProvides support against inflammation associated with arthritis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSupports healing in skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSupports hormonal balance against symptoms of PMS including breast tenderness, headaches, cramping, and mood swings\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tProstaglandins are factors in immune function and reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSISU Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg Advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHigh potency, standardized soft gelatin capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tProviding a minimum 10% (100 mg) GLA per capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tNatural vitamin E added to protect the oil from oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tContains no ingredients that are a source of gluten\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tGood Manufacturing Practices standards\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tTested for guaranteed purity and potency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tTested for pesticides and herbicides\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tNPN approved\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"SISU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42621901963435,"sku":"1522","price":35.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/products\/SISU-Evening-Primrose-Oil-1000mg-180-Softgels_8c58f9b5-8018-411f-b422-dc83d244ecc8.jpg?v=1710963232"},{"product_id":"organika-evening-primrose-oil-1000mg","title":"Organika Evening Primrose Oil, 1000mg, 90 Softgels","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tOrganika Evening Primrose Oil 1000 mg Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHigh potency EPO with 100mg of GLA.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelpful for women experiencing hot flashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHelps reduce pain and inflammation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tPromotes heart health.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tFreshly cold pressed soft gel capsule.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOrganika uses only cold pressed, Canadian source primrose oil.

HDL cholesterol is responsible for moving fat, from storage or plaques, into the liver where processing and excretion of fat occurs.  By decreasing fatty build-up on arteries it helps to regulate blood pressure\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tGLA reduces the production of an inflammatory compound called arachidonic acid.  Arachidonic acid causes pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis.  GLA helps to make the sheath (myelin) that surrounds the nerves that conduct messages from the brain to the muscles and organs of your body, performing a similar function to the insulation sheathing of electrical wires.  If this protective sheath degenerates (as in MS), a \"shorting out\" of the message that the nerve is carrying occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tSince healthy fats play a large role in hormone formation, primrose oil can thus help optimize hormone levels in both men and women.  GLA supplements are used to treat atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, arthritis, attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder, PMS, menopausal discomforts, multiple sclerosis and liver cirrhosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tHelp for Hot Flashes\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHormones are very powerful substances that regulate bodily functions and cause dramatic changes in our health.  As estrogen levels decline and fluctuate during the perimenopausal and menopausal periods, the normal balance of this group of hormones is disrupted and typical menopausal symptoms result.  Many herbs contain safe and naturally occurring estrogens and can be used as natural hormone replacement therapy without the side effects of conventional HRT.  Some of these herbs include: Vitex, dong quai, black cohosh, damiana, soy extracts, licorice and others.  Use standardized extract versions of these plants as they are stronger than the raw versions and contain a consistent amount of active ingredient.  Progesterone levels can also be optimized with the essential fat supplements primrose oil or borage oil.  Both of these contain the essential fat GLA which your body needs to produce progesterone. Both of these work well combined with vitamin E. An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone is largely the reason why women experience hot flashes and an increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tEssential Fats \u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWithout the healthy fats cells become porous and chemical or nutrient imbalances can occur.  The essential fats also produce chemical messengers, such as hormones, in the body thus, omega 3-6-9 oils help to optimize hormone levels in both men and women.  Essential fatty acids have been used to treat eczema, psoriasis, attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, menopause and PMS.  They also improve hair and skin, prevent blood clots, improve memory and regulate hormone levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThere are three categories of EFAs, omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9.  Vegetable-based combination oils usually contain alpha-linolenic acid, ALA, for omega 3, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), for omega 6 and oleic acid, for omega-9.  The sources of the oils are several of the following: flaxseed, borage, black currant, hemp, pumpkin seed, primrose, sunflower or safflower.  Some combination oils include fish oils derived from fish such as herring, cod, mackerel, tuna or salmon.  These oils give the added benefit of containing docosahexanoic acid, DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, two other types of omega 3 fatty acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Organika","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622005575851,"sku":"SP32890000","price":18.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/products\/Organika-Evening-Primrose-Oil-1000mg-90-Softgels_69c5f3ae-f69f-43c7-b206-1fae162a8033.jpg?v=1710977222"},{"product_id":"efamol-efalex","title":"Efamol Efalex Brain Booster, Learning Ability Concentration Support (ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia Relief), 180 Softgels","description":"\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/efamol-efalex-liquid.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#ffff99;\"\u003eAvailable in a liquid as well!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\r\n\tEfamol Efalex Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tBecause They Deserve a Headstart\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eBetter grades and brighter future.

Originally used for the treatment of asthma, stomach and digestive disorders and bruises, there is renewed interest in the herb because of the oil in this plant. Approximately 70% of the oil is cis-linoleic acid, and as much as 9% cis-gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The oil also contains campestrol and beta-sitosterol. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 has anti-inflammatory properties and may also act as a blood thinner and blood vessel dilator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anti-inflammatory properties of EPO have been studied in double blind research with people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Some, but not all, studies have reported that EPO supplementation provides significant benefits to these people. GLA, the primary active ingredient in EPO, has anticancer activity in test tube experiments. Primrose oil has been used to treat the symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome: irritability, headaches, breast tenderness and bloating. It has also been helpful in the treatment of eczema. There are claims that increased doses help rheumatoid arthritis and slow the progression of multiple sclerosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinoleic acid, a common fatty acid found in nuts, seeds, and most vegetable oils (including EPO), should theoretically convert to PGE1.
