Holland & Barrett Natural Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg has been extracted from the seeds of the wildflower using the cold-press method and enriched with vitamin B6, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and can contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and vitamin E. This combination provides linoleic acid (LA) and gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), both omega-6 essential fatty acids that the body can?t produce by itself and must be supplied through diet or supplements. The body actually metabolizes GLA from LA, which can also be found in safflower, hemp and sunflower oils. It is also found in human breast milk. GLA is used by the body to make hormone-like substances called prostaglandins.
