Evening-primrose oil capsules from Vitality Nutritionals

Science-Backed

The common evening primrose (Oenothera Biennis), also known as evening star or sundrop,originates from North America. It was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant in the early 17th century and quickly became an integral part of farm gardens in the 18th century.

The evening primrose is now widespread in Europe. The plant is known for its large yellow petals, which bloom at night and exude a distinctive fragrance.

The valuable evening-primrose oil

Evening primrose was used early on as a vegetable and also as a medicinal plant. Today it is impossible to imagine naturopathy without it.

Evening primrose seeds contain a rich oil. It has a high proportion of gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, which are essential fatty acids. The body needs these fatty acids, for example, to form prostaglandins, which play important functions.

Among other things, they control the female sex hormones, have an immunomodulating effect, support the cardiovascular system and regulate the sebum secretion of the skin. Evening-primrose oil has also been shown to relieve itching in certain skin problems. [1] 

Evening-primrose oil capsules for targeted nutritional supplementation

As the body cannot produce essential fatty acids such as gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid itself, they must be obtained from the diet. A dietary supplement can therefore be useful.

*The health claims in relation to plants and plant substances have not yet been conclusively evaluated. However, due to the number of studies, the efficacy described here can be sufficiently substantiated.

Evening-primrose oil provides polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid, which

• contribute to maintaining well-being during menstruation [2] [3]
• support normal skin and hair growth [4]
• contribute to the support of natural immunity [5]
• support cholesterol metabolism and the maintenance of cardiovascular health [6]

• Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

Oxidative stress caused by so-called free radicals can impair skin health. The organism is protected by complex protective mechanisms. However, the balance between free radicals and the protective mechanisms can no longer be maintained due to overload, environmental toxins, cigarette smoke and alcohol [8]. As free radicals dominate, their harmful effects intensify, resulting in oxidative stress.
