Primrose Oil (Omega-6 Fatty Acids)
90 Capsules
In stock
Evening primrose oil has been used for many years as a rich source of the Omega-6 essential fatty acids Linoleic Acid (LA) and its derivative Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Although GLA can usually be made from Linoleic Acid within the body, certain conditions block the function of the Delta-6-Desaturase enzyme that converts essential fatty acids into their derivatives.
- The essential fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is a crucial nutrient for supporting bodily functions. Progressive Labs' Primrose Oil offers a rich source of this valuable Omega-6 fatty acid, alongside its precursor, Linoleic Acid (LA).
- While the body typically converts LA into GLA using the Delta-6-Desaturase (D-6-D) enzyme, this process can often be hindered. Factors such as saturated fats, cholesterol, trans-fatty acids, and zinc deficiency can inhibit D-6-D function, which also naturally becomes less efficient with age. Supplementing with Primrose Oil ensures the direct delivery of GLA. This bypasses the potentially compromised conversion step, providing direct nutritional support to help maintain the balance of essential fatty acids for foundational wellness.
