Not all fatty acids can be produced in the body, so they must be supplied through diet or supplementation!
Holland & Barrett Evening Primrose Oil 1500mg Plus Vitamin B6 provides the fatty acids linoleic acid (LA) and gamma linoleic acid (GLA).
Evening Primrose Oil as a healthy anti-aging:
We said that the primary use of the supplement is as an antioxidant, a factor not only healthy but also aesthetic since free radicals age the tissues both internally and externally.
Radicals are small but reactive molecules that bind to different types of compounds by means of an unpaired electron, and are able to change the function of molecules such as DNA, functional proteins and phospholipids.
All this in the long run can lead not only to premature aging but also to the manifestation of some pathologies with a severe course such as neoplastic ones.
Although we cannot completely eliminate the production of radicals, as the result of some physiological metabolic reactions, it is possible and desirable to keep them below certain levels thanks to products such as Evening Primrose Oil.
If you engage in intense sporting activities, but even if you expose yourself to some environmental and other factors, your body will produce massive amounts of radicals, and this is where the antioxidant compound comes in.
Among the main factors that determine it oxidative stress :
- air pollution in large cities;
- toxins present in food;
- use of alcohol and cigarettes;
- prolonged exposure to the sun's rays;
Evening Primrose Oil can still cause a:
- anti-inflammatory action mediated by the control of the release of prostaglandins, inflammatory molecules that are linked to different types of inflammatory states including inflammation of the muscle tissues induced by heavy weight training;
- decrease in symptoms of pre menstrual syndrome, a situation that in some women causes really boring disorders and characterized by severe pain in the breasts;
- control of acne, rheumatoid arthritis and a series of pathologies affecting the cardio-circulatory system, although in these cases it is desirable to hear the opinion of the treating doctor before taking the product;
- reduction of benign prostatic hyperplasia and baldness, a factor promoted by the ability of evening primrose oil to inhibit the presence of that enzyme, 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT.
