Evening Primrose Oil

Features: 
1) Active substances: gamma linolenic
2) Standard: 8% - 10% gamma linolenic
3) This seed oil is the most popular source of the Omega 6 essential
    fatty acid gamma linoleic acid (GLA). There are different grades 
    of evening primrose oil, which yield different GLA levels. As the
    evening primrose is a very delicate plant, climatic conditions have 
    an impact on the GLA levels and the yield from the crop. Typically oils 
    containing  between 8% and 10% of the essential fatty acid content of 
    the oil are used in dietary supplements
4) Gamma Linoleic Acid is required by the body for the production of 
    prostaglandins. These are hormone-like substances that regulate 
    several bodily functions, such as the menstrual cycle, blood clotting 
    and blood pressure, as well as helping to maintain healthy skin 
5) GLA is produced naturally in the body from fats in a well-balanced 
    diet, forming a vital component for the normal functioning of the body.
    A constant supply of GLA is required to maintain the level of prostaglandins
    in the body. However, sometimes in many women, GLA production by the 
    body is inefficient, and a natural source dietary supplement containing 
    GLA can be useful
