AH Evening Primrose Oil 1000 is a dietary supplement containing cold-pressed evening primrose oil in soft capsules. The oil contains 10% GLA acid.
Evening primrose oil is an excellent source of healthy fats
Evening primrose oil is dominated by omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. In a healthy diet, we need vegetable fats to meet all the body's needs. Fatty acids have energy, building and regulatory functions. Without them, the body has a much more difficult time maintaining optimal functioning.
Evening primrose oil is eagerly chosen by women, especially when they struggle with hormonal or skin problems. Including it in your daily diet ensures the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids that support the normal, healthy course of the menstrual cycle. The fatty acids in evening primrose oil help maintain hormonal balance and healthy skin, as has been noted in numerous clinical studies.
Unique properties of GLA acid
The health-promoting properties of evening primrose oil are mainly due to gamma-linolenic acid, or GLA for short. It is a unique fat from the omega-6 family, with slightly different properties than the most common fat, linoleic acid. By using the AH Evening Primrose Oil 1000 supplement, you will provide 100 mg of GLA with each capsule consumed.
GLA is the precursor of prostaglandin PGE1 - a hormonally active derivative of arachidonic acid, endowed with numerous biological functions. This property is why scientists are intensively researching the effects of evening primrose oil and GLA on controlling inflammation and the conditions associated with it. Clinical trials on GLA are conducted mainly in adult women. Many of them assess the impact on hormonal parameters and parameters related to skin quality, including: for acne.
Choose capsules if you don't want to drink the oil
Evening primrose oil in a bottle, although it is a normal food product, is often used as a dietary supplement. Many people consume it every day, pouring it on a spoon or pouring it into a glass and simply drinking it like a drink. Drinking oil is never a pleasant experience, but rather an act of sacrifice to obtain the appropriate health benefits.
An alternative is a full-fledged dietary supplement in easy-to-swallow soft capsules. By swallowing the capsule, you do not have to deal with the taste of the oil, and supplementation is much more pleasant.
Cold pressed oil with added vitamin E
Unsaturated fatty acids are highly susceptible to oxidation. For the quality of evening primrose oil, it is very important that it is not exposed to high temperatures at any stage. If you expect the best quality without compromise, choose cold-pressed oil.
After pressing the oil from the plant, vitamin E was added, which is a strong antioxidant and increases the resistance of fatty acids to oxidation. In this way, the oil remains fresh for a longer time and retains its properties. Vitamin E additionally helps protect cells against oxidative stress, which is another advantage of the product.
To sum up, AH Evening Primrose Oil 1000 is a dietary supplement that helps supplement the diet with unsaturated fatty acids, especially gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) from the Omega-6 family.
