Evening Primrose Oil 1300mg 30 Capsules - Solgar

Evening Primrose Oil 1300mg 30 Capsules from Solgar

Recommended for headaches, depression, irritability and abdominal bloating.


Evening primrose is one of the largest natural sources of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid.

Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids are important because they allow the body to produce prostaglandins, which are substances that work in a similar way to hormones. In fact, prostaglandins allow the regulation of many physiological and pathophysiological processes: inflammation, pain, blood pressure, cardiac function, gastrointestinal activity, kidney function and fluid balance, blood clotting, allergies, nerve transmission, production of steroids and hormones.

Solgar evening primrose oil with 1300 mg evening primrose oil per capsule contains the equivalent of 130 mg GLA. This oil is obtained by cold pressing, so it does not contain solvent residues (hexane).
