Evening Primrose Oil is a volatile extract of the evening primrose plant’s seeds. The oil contains a number of important components which hold good health benefits. It contains the fatty acids called essential fatty acids (EFA’s). These are fatty acids which the body needs from an outside source. These include Omega-6 fatty acids, linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid. The oil is used both as a topical preparation and orally. Topically, it softens and moisturizes the skin and is therapeutic in a number of skin conditions, like acne and eczema. When ingested, it is important for the conditions resulting from the deficiency of EFA’, such as, tardive dyskinesia and scleroderma. It is helpful in relieving some symptoms of PMS. It also has anti-inflammatory roles.

Gamma-Linolenic Acid or GLA, is an Omega-6 fatty acid that plays a major role in human health. However, Gamma-Linolenic Acid is not naturally occurring in the human body. Instead, it is obtained through food intake. It is mostly present in oils derived from plants and was first discovered in the oil extracted from the seed of the plant evening primrose. As a polyunsaturated fatty acid, Gamma-Linolenic Acid is associated with the wellness of the skin, hair, bones, metabolism and reproductive system. Ongoing research is being conducted to conclude its benefits as an anticancer agent due to its unique ability to suppress tumors.

Linoleic Acid is an unsaturated omega 6 fatty acid which may be found in olive oil. It helps lower low density lipoprotein (LDL) level, and control blood cholesterol. It prevents clotting which may cause heart problems. Linoleic Acid is also beneficial to arthritis patients because it decreases the inflammation and alleviates pain and swelling. It improves the metabolic rate which promotes weight loss and decreases abdominal fat which is beneficial to thyroid patients. It improves and promotes lean muscles. It regulates blood sugar level which benefits diabetic patients. It also helps improve the immune system and fight against viral and bacterial infections.

Oleic Acid  is also known as the Omega 9 fatty acid. It is a monounsaturated fatty acid present in most natural fats. It is naturally found in avocado fruit, apricot seeds, almonds, olive oils and macadamia nuts. It can also be found in the cocoa butter used for making chocolates. Oleic acid is used to make synthetic cheeses and butters, ice creams, and sodas. It helps maintain cholesterol levels, thus, lowering the risks of heart attack, arteriosclerosis, and other such heart diseases. Oleic acid also aids in repairing cellular and tissue damages caused by free radical damages. It may also help in preventing cancer. It also has antioxidant properties that fights premature aging and maintains the skin’s moisture.

Vitamin C is an obvious essential nutrient and a deficiency of this will cause scurvy. It is also an antioxidant and acts as an electron donor for eight different enzymes.

Vitamin E consists of eight related vitamins that are all fat soluble and have antioxidant properties. The alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherols with the corresponding tocotrienols all belong to the Vitamin E group, whereby the alpha-tocopherol has been found to be the most bioavailable form. Vitamin E is commonly found in food sources like eggs, milk, nuts, seeds, vegetable oil like olive oil, wholegrain foods, wheat germ, red palm oil, but also in asparagus and avocado fruits. While Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, several other properties have been noted as well, such as prevention of damage to neurons, cholesterol reduction and cancer prevention. Vitamin E has been also identified as a vital signaling molecule, whereby the primary necessity of Vitamin E to human survival is still not clear.
