Femorose Capsule 1000mg

PRESENTATION

Each softgel capsule contains 500 mg Evening Primrose oil.

DESCRIPTION

Evening Primrose oil is extracted from seeds of the Evening Primrose plant. Evening Primrose seeds have very high levels of the

essential fatty acid "Gamma-Linolenic Acid" (GLA), also known as "omega-6". The oil contains up to 15% gamma-linolenic acid and

70% linolenic acid, which our body turns into gamma-linolenic acid. The medicinal action of Evening Primrose oil revolves around

the omega-6-fatty acid portion, linolenic and gamma-linolenic acid, and its relationship with prostaglandin synthesis. In optimum

conditions, linolenic acid is converted to gamma-linolenic acid by the enzyme delta-6-desaturase. The gamma-linolenic acid

produced is further converted todihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, which in turn leads to arachidonic acid. The dihomo-gamma-linolenic

acid gives rise of the Prostaglandin-1 (PGE1) series. PGE1 is anti-inflammatory in nature, promotes T-cell function and decreases

cholesterol production
