Jarrow Primrose Oil 1300, 60 Gels
Jarrow Formulas Primrose 1300 Helps promote natural health and healing. Primrose 1300 consists of 100% pure, cold pressed oil of Evening Primrose (Oenothera lamarchiana), a potent source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid produced in human metabolism. It encourages healthy cellular activity and promote natural healing. It contains natural metabolites with a strong influence on the normalization of our immune system inflammation response.
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in cold-water fish (and fish oil), and perilla and flaxseed oils, can be part of a healthy diet. Omega-3 oils contain the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are usually lacking in the typical Western diet that includes high amounts of omega-6 fats. Omega-6 fatty acids are well supplied in the diet by meat and vegetable oils. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA), found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant oil is an important fatty acid that plays a beneficial role in healthy prostaglandin formation. Eating foods cooked at high temperature can cause the formation of advanced glycation end (AGE) products. Glycation is the binding of a protein molecule to a glucose molecule that results in the formation of damaged protein structures. As the damaged proteins accumulate, they activate the production of inflammatory cytokines.

Product Faqs :

What are the fatty acids?
|
|
|
Chemically, a fatty acid is an organic compound with an acid group at one end of its molecule and a methyl group at the other end. Fatty acids are typically categorized in the omega groups 3, 6 and 9 according to the location of their first double bond. There’s also an omega-7 group, but these are compartively less important to human health.
|
|
|
|
|
What are the essential fatty acids (EFA)?
|
|
|
The term essential fatty acid (EFA) refers to a fatty acid that the body cannot manufacture and must, therefore, obtain from dietary sources. These EFAs were originally designated as Vitamin F, until it was realized they should be classified with the fats.
There are two fatty acids designated as EFAs: Linoleic acid (LA) (omega-6) and Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) (omega-3). This does not mean the other 15 or so fatty acids found in the omega 3, 6 and 9 groups aren’t important, just that a healthy body can manufacture them as long as it gets enough LA and ALA. Nevertheless, research demonstrates there are health benefits to be had by obtaining some of the other nonessential fatty acids directly.

|
|
|
|
What roles do Essential fatty acids (EFAs) play in our body?
|
|
|
EFAs Plays an important role in our body. The body uses EFAs for the formation of healthy cell membranes, the proper development and functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the production of hormone-like substances called eicosanoids (i.e., thromboxanes, leukotrienes, prostaglandins). These chemicals regulate numerous body functions including blood pressure, blood viscosity, vasoconstriction, immune and inflammatory responses. Here are some main functions of EFAs:
- Energy Production
- Diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream
- Brain and nerve tissue development
- Control cell membrane fluids
- Strengthen immune system
- Reduce water retention, by assisting in sodium and water removal
- Calming effect and regulates mood
No doubt, essential fatty acids are of extreme importance. There is more to them though.

|
What are the benefits essential fatty acids?
|
|
|
EFAs are Critical in maintaining maximum testosterone levels. EFAs also produce good prostaglandins, which can improve the actions of insulin, decrease muscle breakdown, increase growth hormone secretion and optimize growth hormone production. Additionally, essential fatty acids promote healthy cholesterol levels, stimulate tissue repair, combat cortisol and increase the use of fat for energy.
