Genestra GLA 130 Primrose Oil for Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Skin Health
GLA 130 Primrose Oil by Genestra is a premium supplement that provides a concentrated source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA), essential omega-6 fatty acids that support normal cell structure and overall body function. These fatty acids are crucial for the production of series 1 prostaglandins, which play a role in T-lymphocyte function and kidney health. A deficiency in essential fatty acids can lead to various health issues, including cardiovascular problems. GLA 130 Primrose Oil is particularly beneficial for conditions related to the cardiovascular system, such as arteriosclerosis, blood pressure regulation, elevated cholesterol levels, and vascular fragility. Additionally, it is indicated for alleviating premenstrual symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis, and skin disorders like acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
Key Benefits
- Supports cardiovascular health and function
- Promotes skin health and integrity
- Aids in managing premenstrual symptoms
- Contributes to overall cellular health
How It Works
GLA 130 Primrose Oil contains 1,300 mg of evening primrose seed oil per serving, yielding 130 mg of GLA and 960 mg of LA. These omega-6 fatty acids are vital for maintaining skin moisture levels and promoting epithelial cell function. Research indicates that supplementation with evening primrose oil can enhance skin firmness and elasticity over time, as skin cells require regeneration to show visible benefits.
Evidence & Research
Studies have shown that omega-6 fatty acids, particularly GLA, are important for skin health. They help maintain the epidermal barrier and support moisture retention, which is essential for healthy skin.
