Description
A complete synergy This synergy of organic evening primrose and borage oils is valued for its richness in gamma-linolenic acid. This polyunsaturated fatty acid of the omega-6 family has properties for the skin, hormonal balance, and acts to modulate the immune system (autoimmune diseases). Described in numerous scientific reviews, GLA promotes the synthesis of type 1 prostaglandins (anti-inflammatory) to the detriment of type 2 prostaglandins (pro-inflammatory). Its anti-inflammatory effects are mainly recognised in hormonal disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome, menopausal discomfort, the reduction of acne and help in cases of eczema. GLA has been the subject of clinical studies in other inflammatory conditions, such as osteoporosis, and in reducing the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at a daily intake of 480 mg of GLA (7 capsules). Finally, the administration of evening primrose and borage oil rich in gamma-linolenic acid to asthmatic patients inhibits the formation of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes.
