Holland & Barrett – Natural Evening Primrose Oil Liquid Extract

Contains fatty acids like Linoleic Acid and Gamma Linoleic Acid
Contributes to the production of prostaglandins
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Holland & Barrett Evening Primrose Oil provides the fatty acids Linoleic Acid (LA) and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Not all fatty acids can be made in the body so it must be supplied through diet or supplementation. Within the body Linoleic Acid is metabolised to GLA, which is essential for the production of certain hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. Human breast milk is one of the richest natural sources of GLA, whilst LA can be found in safflower, hemp and sunflower oils.
