Nature's Sunshine Evening Primrose Oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that assists the body in producing prostaglandins (messengers in the body that perform hundreds of important functions).

 Gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid, without which the body cannot produce a single prostaglandin. GLA is not  manufactured by the body. Fortunately, evening primrose oil contains high amounts of GLA, and it’s available from Nature’s Sunshine.  

Benefits of Nature's Sunshine Evening Primrose Oil:

• Provides the body with important fatty acids.
• May help the body maintain proper temperature.
• Strengthens body tissues.
• Supports the glandular and circulatory systems.
• May help promote bone health

Noteworthy

1. In the 1930s, a Swedish scientist discovered unique substances in the body, which he called “prostaglandins.” Since that time, scientists  have learned that every cell of the body contains prostaglandins. 
2. Prostaglandins are messengers that perform literally hundreds of  functions, thus they are indispensable for good health. However, the body needs help producing them.
3. Essential fatty acid supplements have been  used to treat the symptoms of a variety of illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, PMS, multiple sclerosis, and inflammation, hormonal, heart and circulatory disorders. 
4. GLA has been studied for relief of symptoms of arthritis and premenstrual syndrome.
5. Under certain conditions of illness and dietary deficiency, our body  may be unable to make GLA from linoleic acid, and Evening Primrose Oil can compensate for this inability.
