PRODUCT DATA SHEET<br />
<strong>EVENING</strong> <strong>PRIMROSE</strong> species are native to America; it<br />
was used by the North American Indians to relieve a<br />
variety of medical conditions.<br />
<strong>EVENING</strong> <strong>PRIMROSE</strong> <strong>OIL</strong> <strong>ORGANIC</strong> is a natural, coldpressed<br />
Vegetable Oil that exhibits a specific fatty acid<br />
distribution with high content in gamma - linolenic acid<br />
(GLA, an Omega-6), presenting a minimum 9 % GLA<br />
content. Gamma - linolenic acid is an important intermediary in the metabolic<br />
conversion of linolenic acid into Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) one of many<br />
prostaglandins which are interconvertible, and which modulate the action of<br />
many hormones.<br />
<strong>EVENING</strong> <strong>PRIMROSE</strong> <strong>OIL</strong> <strong>ORGANIC</strong> offers ease of spreading, great<br />
penetration and significant moisture retention combined with its high nourishing<br />
properties.<br />
