Oil from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant was the material studied in the original research on GLA.
GLA is an essential omega-6 fatty acid.* The oil is cold-pressed and hexane free. Standardized to 9% GLA.
Evening primrose oil contains gamma-linolenic acid which is an omega-6 essential fatty acid. It is involved in regulating inflammation and the immune system.
This renowned oil, from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant is the closest to the actual formulation used in the original research studies done on Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Some individuals therefore prefer to obtain their GLA from this source.
Skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis may benefit from omega 6 fatty acids in preference to omega 3 fatty acids.
GLA is an omega 6 fatty acid the body may use in hormone production, fat metabolism, and insulin regulation.
