Then \u003cstrong\u003eevening primrose oil\u003c\/strong\u003e is an interesting option. These softgels from LUTO Supplements contain 1000 mg of cold-pressed oil per two capsules, extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. This includes gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that your body does not produce itself. Each package contains 60 softgels, enough for at least two weeks of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly does evening primrose oil contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvening primrose oil is not an isolated substance. It is a natural oil with a complete fatty acid profile. The two most important fatty acids it contains are linoleic acid (LA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Linoleic acid is an important omega-6 fatty acid that you must obtain through your diet. It is also found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. GLA is more specific. This fatty acid is present in far fewer dietary sources. This is precisely why evening primrose oil is popular as a supplement: it provides GLA in a way that is not easily achieved with a normal diet. Per two softgels, this product contains 730 mg of linoleic acid and 90 mg of GLA. The GLA content is 9% of the total oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow your body processes GLA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: GLA skips a step in your fatty acid metabolism. Normally, linoleic acid must first be converted into GLA by an enzyme (delta-6-desaturase), and only then can your body continue the process. This first conversion step is slow in many people. By taking GLA directly via evening primrose oil, you start further along in this process. Your body then converts GLA into DGLA (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid), a component of signaling molecules that play a role in various cellular processes. In short: GLA takes a shorter path in your metabolism than linoleic acid alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCold-pressed and in softgel form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLUTO Supplements uses cold-pressed evening primrose oil. This means the oil is extracted from the seeds without heating, preserving the structure of the fatty acids. Fatty acids are indeed sensitive to heat. The oil is contained in a softgel made from gelatin and glycerin. This form was not chosen by chance. Fatty acids are better absorbed when they are already in a fatty matrix rather than in dry powder form. Do you take the capsules with a meal? Your bile salts and digestive enzymes then work together to absorb the fatty acids well. Furthermore, the softgels only contain water and a little caramel as a colorant. No artificial flavors or fragrances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference between evening primrose oil and other GLA sources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvening primrose oil is not the only source of GLA. Borage oil, for example, contains more GLA per gram of oil, sometimes 20 to 24 percent. With 9% GLA, evening primrose oil contains less. Nevertheless, many people deliberately choose evening primrose oil. The reason? The fatty acid profile is broader, and the oil has a long tradition of use. With 90 mg of GLA per two softgels, the dosage of this product is moderate. Do you want more GLA per day? You can then increase the intake to four capsules, which provides 180 mg of GLA. This is still lower than the amounts used in many studies, but as a daily supplement to your diet, it is a practical amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis evening primrose oil from LUTO Supplements is a simple and clean product. No long list of excipients, no complicated formula. Simply cold-pressed evening primrose oil in a well-absorbable softgel. For those who want to specifically add GLA to their diet, this is an accessible choice with a clear fatty acid profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390695383268,"sku":"8720865080949","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Teunisbloemoliefoto_s.jpg?v=1783929225","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/luto-huile-onagre-1000mg","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
