Evening Primrose Oil derived from the seeds of the evening primrose plant is a natural rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The physiological effects of evening primrose oil are based on its high concentrations of GLA. GLA is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that acts as a precursor in the synthesis of prostaglandin E1, which reduces the risk of blood clot formation, supports immune system function, and has a positive effect on brain functions.
In traditional medicine, evening primrose oil is used to treat painful and irregular menstrual cycles, severe PMS symptoms such as breast tenderness, depressive and anxious moods, irritability, intense hunger, water retention, and other discomforting and painful conditions that occur before menstruation.
Modern scientific research confirms the traditional medicinal uses of evening primrose oil and supports its numerous positive effects in alleviating PMS symptoms. Studies investigating the impact of evening primrose oil on hot flashes, which are common during menopause, demonstrate that the oil can reduce the intensity and frequency of these episodes, significantly improve sexual function, and enhance social activities.
Vitamin E is a collective term for a group of fat-soluble compounds with strong antioxidant properties. It is one of the most powerful antioxidants. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage, prevents the oxidation of evening primrose oil, and boosts the overall antioxidant potential of the product. Additionally, it helps preserve the integrity of hair follicle cell membranes and contributes to the health and appearance of skin and hair.
Strong Nature® Evening Primrose Oil with Vitamin E helps maintain hormonal balance, which in turn reduces the likelihood of PMS symptoms and alleviates symptoms if they occur.
