Evening primrose

Evening primrose ( Oenothera biennis ) originates from North America and only in recent decades have its therapeutic properties been scientifically confirmed. Extracting the oil from the seeds, by cold pressing, ensures that it maintains its properties.

It is rich in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and these are fundamental in our nutrition, as they exist as an integral part of the cellular structure. Evening primrose oil is essentially made up of linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), its main active ingredient, which is an important precursor of prostaglandins, substances that are involved in many physiological processes, with particularly useful effects for women.

According to recent scientific research, evening primrose oil helps prevent and relieve symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome and menopause. It also contributes to reducing the formation of substances with inflammatory action and has a relevant action in maintaining skin health.
