NOW Foods Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg (100 and 250 softgels) contains naturally occurring gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid also found in borage oil and black currant seed oils. The product is cold-pressed and hexane-free to maintain the quality of the oils. This supplement is suitable for those looking to support their intake of omega-6 fatty acids.
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid naturally occurring in oils such as evening primrose, borage, and black currant seed oil.
Evening primrose oil naturally contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, while flaxseed oil is primarily rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Fish oil contains EPA and DHA, also omega-3 fatty acids. The difference lies in the type of fatty acid and the source: evening primrose and flaxseed are plant-based, while fish oil is animal-based.
'Cold-pressed' means the oil is extracted without heating. This helps preserve the natural properties of the oil, which is often desired for sensitive fatty acids like GLA.
