Natural Factors OmegaFactors 1,000 mg Ultra Prim Evening Primrose Oil, 90 Soft Gels Features : Natural Factors Omega Factors UltraPrim is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid for optimal health. This ultra-purified, cold-pressed evening primrose oil is a great option for improving hormone balance, relieving inflammation, and nourishing the skin, as well as supporting cardiovascular and eye health. Natural Factors OmegaFactors Ultra Prim Evening Primrose Oil is derived from the highest quality evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) seeds, and extracted by cold pressing (expeller pressing) without the use of hexane or other solvents. This ultra-purified source of omega-6 essential fatty acids is highly stable and free of preservatives, offering gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and cis-linoleic acid (LA). The essential fatty acids in Ultra Prim play an important role in the management of inflammation, cholesterol levels, hormonal balance, eye and skin health, and circulation. Ultra Prim may help prevent cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots, and support healthy blood pressure. Due to its beneficial effects on the immune system, cell membranes, and hormonal balance, GLA helps ease symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and atopic eczema. GLA supports the health and appearance of the skin, can decrease inflammation, and even offers relief from dry eyes for contact lens wearers. Evening Primrose oil is unique because it is one of the few oils that contains abundant amounts of Gamma Linolenic Acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid that is vital to health. These essential fatty acids are needed to form important prostaglandins, particularly PGE1, that maintain and regulate vital body functions. To fully benefit from Evening Primrose Oil, the body also needs zinc, magnesium vitamin C, and vitamins B3 and B6, nutrients that are co-factors needed for the conversion of gamma linolenic acid to PGE1, the prostaglandin with many health benefits. Natural Factors Evening Primrose Oil comes from Australia and is often used with success by women experiencing PMS. However, men and women with a wide variety of ailments - cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems such as asthma, arthritis, eczema and other skin problems (including teenagers with acne) - may benefit from EPO. Recent research shows that EPO may also help children with ADD and ADHD.
