Genestra GLA 130 Primrose Oil 90 Capsules

Genestra GLA 130 Primrose Oil provides 1920 mg of LA and 260 mg of GLA per daily dose.

Primrose oil is derived from evening primrose, a yellow flowering herb
native to the Americas. It is a natural source of omega-6 fatty acids
that help to maintain optimal health.

The structure and function of the
skin, the largest organ in the body, is dependent on fatty acids. LA
accounts for approximately 12% of fatty acids in the skin. It is
essential to maintain epidermal barrier integrity, which protects
against environmental factors and the loss of electrolytes and water.
Omega-6 fatty acid deficiencies have been associated with impaired
epithelial cell function, including the loss of moisture in the skin and
eyes.

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, daily
supplementation with primrose oil for three months significantly
improved the firmness, elasticity and barrier function of the skin in
adults with dry skin. Recent research indicates that long term primrose
oil supplementation may be required to improve skin health as it takes
over four weeks for skin cells to regenerate and for a new fatty acid
equilibrium to be reached.

Recommended Dosage: Take one capsule two times daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
