FAQ
- What does evening primrose oil do in the body?
Evening primrose oil is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that supports healthy skin, cellular function, and overall wellness. Once consumed, GLA is incorporated into cell membranes and converted into signaling molecules that help support normal physiological processes throughout the body. - What is GLA, and why is it important?
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid found naturally in evening primrose oil. In the body, GLA is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), which serves as a precursor to signaling molecules involved in maintaining healthy skin, cellular health, and a healthy inflammatory response already within the normal range. Because GLA is found in relatively few foods, evening primrose oil is a popular supplemental source. - How does evening primrose oil support women's wellness?
Evening primrose oil supports women's wellness by providing GLA, which helps support normal physiological processes associated with hormonal health and cellular function. Through its role in healthy cell membrane structure and signaling pathways, GLA helps maintain overall wellness throughout the different stages of a woman's life. - Is Swanson Evening Primrose Oil suitable for special diets?
Swanson Evening Primrose Oil is made with non-GMO ingredients. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin softgel. This product is also not formulated or certified to be gluten free, so individuals with gluten sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
