Evening Primrose Oil with Vitamin E is a natural supplement derived from the seeds of the evening primrose plant, which is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The physiological effects of evening primrose oil are based on the high concentrations of GLA, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that is a precursor in the synthesis of prostaglandin E1. Prostaglandin E1 plays a role in reducing the risk of blood clots, boosting immune system function, and supporting brain health.
In traditional medicine, evening primrose oil is used to treat painful and irregular menstrual cycles, as well as symptoms of PMS, such as sore and sensitive breasts, depression, anxiety, irritability, intense hunger, bloating due to water retention, and other discomforts that occur before menstruation. Modern scientific studies confirm the benefits of evening primrose oil in alleviating PMS symptoms. Research on the effects of evening primrose oil on hot flashes, which are common during menopause, demonstrates that it can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and significantly improve sexual function and social activity.
Vitamin E is a group of fat-soluble compounds with strong antioxidant properties. It is considered one of the most potent antioxidants, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. Vitamin E also protects evening primrose oil from oxidation, thereby enhancing the product's antioxidant potential. Additionally, vitamin E supports the integrity of hair follicle cell membranes, promoting healthy hair, skin, and nails.
Strong Nature® Evening Primrose Oil with Vitamin E contributes to maintaining hormonal balance, thereby reducing the likelihood of PMS symptoms and helping to alleviate them when they occur.
