Now Super Primrose 1300mg Softgel For Women's Health contains Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an Omega-6 fatty acid also found in Borage and Black Currant Seed Oils. Although the body can synthesize GLA from other dietary fats, it can be more efficiently utilized for bodily functions when consumed in its preformed state. By supporting the body’s healthy immune system responses, GLA may help to maintain normal skin barrier function, as well as a healthy vascular system. It may also be used as nutritional support for mild discomfort associated with PMS. GLA has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving effects. It also improves skin moisture, roughness, firmness, and elasticity. Fluctuations in hormone levels may cause premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms in women. These hormones are influenced by essential fatty acids like the GLA in evening primrose oil, pointing to the oil’s potential to alleviate discomfort. Evening primrose oil has been shown to help relieve hot flashes in menopausal women, including their severity, frequency, and duration.
