EVENING PRIMROSE 500mg - 250 SGELS

The Benefits of NOW Evening Primrose Oil

NOW Evening Primrose Oil is a natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid. GLA is also found in borage and black currant seed oils. The body can synthesize GLA from other dietary fats, but it can be more efficiently utilized for bodily functions when consumed in its preformed state. GLA supports the body’s healthy immune system responses and may help to maintain normal skin barrier function and a healthy vascular system.
