It provides GLA in the form most effectively absorbed and utilized by the body.</I> <P> <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/greenpharm/images/EfamolEPO.jpg" WIDTH=150 ALIGN=right ALT="Efamol Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg 180 caps" NAME="Efamol Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg 180 caps" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> <b>Evening Primrose Oil </b><br> Efamol, 500 mg 180 caps<p> Supplies 12% GLA - gamma linoleic acid (120 mg/serving).<p> Efamol Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is the most widely studied brand of EPO on the market. Evening Primrose Oil contains important GLA (gamma linolenic acid). GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid which acts as a precursor to prostaglandins. These are hormone-like substances that help to regulate body processes including hormonal balance. Additionally, GLA is essential to healthy joint function and is important to helping maintain smooth, healthy looking skin. Natural Vitamin E is included to protect the oil both in the softgel and in the body. <P> Efamol EPO is the result of over 20 years of research in the field of essential fatty acid nutrition. The original Efamol brand is the most widely studied EPO. It is carefully extracted from propritary seeds for the special GLA content and grown exclusively for use in Efamol products. Efamol's uniques one-step, low temperature extraction process ensures the highest quality available.<P> <b>For Healthy Skin </b><br> People with healthy skin have normal blood levels of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid and all the omega 6 fatty acids derived from it including gamm-linolenic acid (GLA).(1) These fatty acids help create an effective barrier in the skin to reduce water loss and maintain overall skin condition and integrity(2) including firmness, elasticity, strength and smoothness.(3,4) In addition, prostaglandins and other metabolites derived from these fatty acids modulate normal skin structure and function.(5) Supplementing the diet with Efamol Evening Primrose Oil ensures an intake of GLA that helps maintain healthy skin.(6)* <P> <b>Suggested Use</b><br> Adults(12yrs and older): Orally take 6-8 caps per day in divided dose with food or drink. Children (age 1 year up to and including 11 years): Orally take 4-6 caps per day in divided dose with food or drink. After 4-6 months a lower maintenance dose of 2-4 caps may be sufficient. <P> <b>Each capsule contains:</b><br> Calories 10<br> Fat (from Evening Primrose) 1 gm<br> Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) 14 IU<br> Efamol Evening Primrose Oil 536 mg<br> Linoleic Acid (LA) 350 mg<br> Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) 60 mg<br><br> <b>Other Ingredients</b><br> Gelatin and Glycerin. <P> <b>Does Not Contain</b><br> Sugar, starch, artificial color, artificial flavor, preservatives, sodium free, wheat, gluten, corn, dairy, yeast.<P> <b>Warnings / Cautions</b><br> Keep out of reach of children.<P> <b>For Mild Mentrual Related Symptoms </b><br> Many women experience little or no discomfort, mild mood changes, bloating or breast tenderness associated with their menstrual cycle. These women also have normal levels of polyunsatured fatty acids (PUFAs) in their bodies(1,2) which may help control typical responses to circulating hormones.(3,4) Supplementing the diet with Efamol Evening Primrose Oil ensures an intake of PUFAs that support a normal, healthy attitude during premenstrual syndrome (PMS).(5,6,7)* <P> <b>For Nerve Function </b><br> Fatty acids including gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) and other substances derived from it are important in nerve structure and function.(1) They are part of the myelin sheath, the protective insulation that surrounds all nerve fibers and enables them to transmit impulses correctly.(2) In addition, prostaglandins and other regulatory substances derived from these fatty acids help control blood flow around nerves ensuring vital supply of nutrients.(3,4) Nerve function can be assessed by measuring ability to detect skin temperature (hot and cold), muscle strength and reflexes, and how fast nerves can send messages.(5) Supplementing the diet with Efamol Evening Primrose Oil ensures an intake of GLA that helps maintain healthy nerve function.(6,7)* <P> Efamol Evening Primrose Oil is available in a gelcap form and contains 180 softgels (500 mg each). Gelcaps may be pierced with a pin or cut open with scissors and the contents put into foods or liquids. <P> *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration.
