Super Primrose, also known as evening primrose oil, is extracted naturally without the use of chemicals, hexane, or other solvents. Super Primrose is the most potent and concentrated form of evening primrose oil available.
The oil extracted from the seeds by cold pressing is extremely rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). It contains 72% linoleic acid and 10% gamma-linolenic acid. The latter is a precursor to prostaglandins, substances that influence the menstrual cycle.
Clinical studies have shown that Super Primrose, taken during the second half of the cycle, reduces premenstrual syndrome by acting on its manifestations: depression, irritability, breast tenderness, abdominal pain, water retention, and headache. Researchers report that a deficiency in GLA causes an abnormal sensitivity to the hormone prolactin, which leads to premenstrual symptoms.
As one of the safest and most concentrated forms of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid), Evening Primrose Oil remains one of the most important sources of essential fatty acids available in the diet.
Taken for centuries to promote health, we now know that GLA promotes healthy cellular activity. Once ingested, GLA is converted into prostaglandins—natural metabolites with a significant impact on normalizing the immune system and inflammatory response. This super-concentrated formula contains 1,300 mg of Evening Primrose Oil, providing three times more GLA than normal.
From linolenic acid, our body can produce gamma-linolenic acid (through the enzyme delta-6 desaturase), which gives rise to prostaglandins of series 1 and 2. As humans age, levels of the aforementioned enzyme decrease significantly, and the conversion of linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid is not sufficient, compromising the entire remaining chain. Although prostaglandins are synthesized in the body from gamma-linolenic acid, several factors besides age can inhibit this conversion, such as high cholesterol, alcohol, viruses, insulin deficiency, and stress. Therefore, this group of people requires increased doses of Omega-6. Essential fatty acids reduce triglycerides and blood cholesterol and prevent coronary heart disease (CHD). Blends of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids favorably alter the lipid profile.
A recent scientific study demonstrated that this reduction can reach 11%. Other studies have shown that regular consumption of linoleic acid is associated with a lower prevalence of CHD in both women and men.
The results of these studies also showed that the combined intake of both fatty acids - Omega 3 and Omega 6
has synergistic effects in preventing this heart disease. GLA can also reduce platelet aggregation and thus,
prevent other cardiovascular diseases, such as thrombosis. Evening primrose oil is valued for its gamma linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3 omega-6) content. GLA is recognized as being effective in reducing inflammation and treating atopic eczema, diabetic neuropathy, and certain cancers (McDonald and Fitzpatrick, 1998).
At NOW Foods, Super Primrose is analyzed for its GLA content using fatty acid methyl ester chromatography. They use this method to confirm the identity of the lipid profile of Evening Primrose Oil. This process is taken into account to ensure that NOW formulas contain a concentrate with more than 9% GLA.
