Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are healthy fats that play a crucial role in overall well-being, including mood and brain function, cardiovascular health and joint health. One of the two groups of therapeutic fatty acids is called omega 6.
The active principle of omega 6 is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and although many of the vegetable oils used in the diet are a source of omega 6, they do not provide large quantities of GLA. Evening primrose oil is rich in GLA and is not normally included in the diet, so therapeutic doses are associated with supplements.
The fatty acids in evening primrose oil help to balance prostaglandins, hormone-like substances, helping to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), rheumatoid arthritis and skin disorders without involving undesirable side effects.
