Description
A rich botanical source of GLA.
Evening
Primrose Oil, a natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), is well
known for modifying the inflammatory response and maintaining hormonal
balance. This versatile oil comes from the tiny seeds of a wildflower,
Oenothera biennis L., native to North America, and has been studied for
its positive influence on prostaglandin synthesis. GLA may also support
the healthy growth and maintenance of skin, hair, and nails.
All
of the evening primrose oil used in the Weil formula is cold pressed
without the use of solvents. Weil Evening Primrose Oil is encapsulated
exclusively in vegetarian, liquid-filled capsules.
‘Evening primrose oil is a natural source of a fatty acid called GLA
(gamma-linolenic acid). Very hard to come by in the diet, GLA is an
effective anti-inflammatory agent with none of the side effects of
anti-inflammatory drugs. It also promotes healthy growth of skin, hair,
and nails. I frequently suggest evening primrose oil for skin
conditions (including brittle nails and hair), arthritis, autoimmune
disorders, and premenstrual syndrome. Do not expect immediate results;
it takes six to eight weeks to see changes after adding GLA to the
diet.’ – Andrew Weil, M.D.
