A glowing reference for a golden wonder
EVENING primrose oil is one of nature’s wonders, something that can help on so many levels. Everything from PMS to the menopause can be soothed by adding it to your diet. It is an excellent source of omega-6 essential fatty acids and has been used for decades to help maintain healthy hair and skin.
And yet even in the world of evening primrose oil, one stands out among the others: Pure Evening Primrose Oil from Efamol, a dietary supplement specialist in the field for more than 30 years. Efamol’s “Liquid Gold” extraction process has been developed and perfected in order to retain the natural properties of the evening primrose plant, making it even more effective.
Efamol uses a evening primrose plant called Rigel, sourced from New Zealand and the Netherlands. Only the highest quality plants are used, producing Efamol’s hallmark golden colour in every drop, which is fully traceable from farm to capsule. It also creates a highly potent and bioavailable formula of which 11 per cent is the omega-6 nutrient gamma linolenic acid (GLA) – 33 per cent more than most other evening primrose oils on the UK market.
While our bodies naturally produce most of the fatty acids they need, omega-6 fatty acid LA (linoleic acid), which is converted to GLA, is not made in the body and is therefore an “essential fatty acid” that must be consumed either in food or through supplements.
Poor diet can even inhibit the effectiveness of GLA, making supplementation even more important.
Due to its high essential fatty acid content, Efamol’s Pure Evening Primrose Oil is able to support the work of hormones in the body. As such it helps sidestep the often debilitating effects of PMS and the menopause such as breast tenderness, irritability, headaches, acne, bloating and water retention.
One study showed improvement of symptoms related to PMS in 60 per cent of cases in only two months. Another showed a staggering 97 per cent improvement in breast pain after six months. Evening primrose oil has also been shown to be effective for many skin conditions. As well as helping to boost the overall condition of the skin, the GLA fatty acid helps improve hydration and elasticity.
FURTHER studies showed an improvement in moisture, reduced roughness and dryness and boosted elasticity in irritated skin. Efamol Pure Evening Primrose Oil has also been shown to help minimise and relieve itching, swelling and redness.
Efamol Pure Evening Primrose Oil is easy to take, coming in clear, soft gelatine capsules that are packed with goodness. It’s a touch of gold in the quest for good health. INFORMATION: efamol.com/0800 472 5593
