Despite having a lower percentage of GLA than borage oil, EPO has been shown to increase levels of prostaglandins (PGE1) that have a positive effect on skin and immune health, as well as support for a normal, healthy inflammatory response.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGLA has also been shown to provide benefits for female-related health issues. Our Evening Primrose Oil is derived from pure, cold, expeller pressed, hexane-free oil. The cold, expeller pressing produces little to no heat, which in turn helps maintain the integrity of the naturally-occurring fatty acids. Unlike many evening primrose oil products on the market, ours is extracted without the use of hexane; which is a potentially toxic substance. The manufacturing techniques used result in the highest quality, purest evening primrose oil available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available in a 1300mg evening primrose oil soft gel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eProvides 45 mg GLA per soft gel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eDerived from cold, expeller (mechanical) pressed evening primrose oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eSourced from Bioriginal of Canada, a leading manufacturer of nutritional oils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eHexane free extraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a good source of the important omega-6 fat GLA, which has been the subject of numerous published research studies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudies show GLA helps support healthy skin by helping to maintain the skin’s moisture barrier.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLA is a precursor to DGLA which is used to manufacture prostaglandins that help support a normal, healthy inflammatory response.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLA despite also being a precursor to arachidonic acid (which often leads to inflammation), has actually been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory compounds.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLA has also been shown to provide support for female hormone-related health issues.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RELIANCE - 82","offers":[{"title":"90 Softgels","offer_id":43732672479329,"sku":"5503","price":18.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180 Softgels","offer_id":43732672512097,"sku":"5504","price":32.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/9652\/0033\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_7df026be-6ce1-4c3b-807e-c0e56b042f09.png?v=1775293355","url":"https:\/\/alchepharmanaturals.com\/products\/evening-primrose-oil-alchepharma","provider":"AlchePharma Naturals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
