 What is it for?
Chemists' Own Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg is a rich source of essential fatty acids that can assist in the relief of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) including abdominal bloating, breast tenderness, cramping, mood swings and irritability.
These essential fatty acids also play an important role in maintaining a healthy complexion, and can assist in the relief of the symptoms of minor skin disorders such as eczema and dry skin.
How does it work?
- The essential fatty acids contained in Evening Primrose Oil cannot be synthesised by the body and must be obtained through the diet and/or supplementation. These fatty acids are converted in the body to a hormone-like substance called Prostaglandin E1. Prostaglandin E1 has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, and is a key mediator of the inflammatory response within the body.
