The Wonders of Evening Primrose Oil (EPO)
 
Evening primrose can be said as a “best kept secret” in the world of plants. It is a natural source of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) that provides energy, maintain body temperature, protect nerves and body tissues. The two types of EFA are Linolenic Acid (LA) and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).
 
The science of EPO is the oil, which is found in the seeds of the plant. EPO is a provider of LA and GLA. The oil is extracted from the seed and usually comes in the form of capsules. EPO capsules should contain the standardized amount 9% of GLA.
 
There are hosts of benefits that EPO is known for:-
  • Eczema, a condition where skin is inflamed, itchy & scaly due to irritation.
  • Allergies, particularly skin rashes and hives.
  • EPO is a licensed treatment for breast pain (mastalgia) in United Kingdom and is often used in many countries.
  • PMS symptoms such as bloating, mood swings and breast tenderness.
         
         
      Abbott Bio-Enhanced Evening Primrose Oil  
         
      Many EPO supplements may not be properly absorbed when consumed. This is due to the fact that oil does not mix with water perfectly; therefore a lot of fat-soluble vitamins we take are actually wasted.  
         
      Using the Bio-Sol technology, Abbott’s Bio-Enhanced Evening Primrose Oil enables EPO to mix with water and dissolve into smaller droplets when released from the capsule. With smaller droplets, the supplement is absorbed efficiently.
