EPO, which is extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose flower, contains an important active ingredient called Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid belonging to the omega-6 fatty acid family.
GLA is vital for the permeability, flexibility and integrity of cell membranes, which allow the efficient passage of oxygen and other nutrients into the cell for nutritional support and of waste materials out of the cell for proper elimination. Red blood cells also require GLA. When GLA is insufficient, red blood cell membranes lose their flexibility, become rigid and less effective in transporting oxygen throughout the body. This results in reduced oxygen supply to body tissues, the root cause of many health problems. On a discernible level, when GLA is inadequate, skin would sag and age rapidly, hair would become dry and dull, and nails would flake and break.
GLA is also important for the body to synthesize series 1 prostaglandins (PGE1), hormone-like substances with a wide range of important actions. They inhibit inflammation, regulate immune function, control blood sugar level, and balance blood pressure and hormone levels.
| Selecting the Best Quality EPO |
Regular EPO undergoes heavy refining processes to extend its shelf life. Refining cleans up the oil, allowing cheaper, low quality or dirty oil to be used. Unfortunately, this process also damages the oil and strips away the beneficial components of EPO, including Triterpenes - the naturally occurring lipophillic antioxidants in EPO that helps the body mop up damaging free radicals. By removing these antioxidants, refined oil becomes unstable and may be prone to oxidation, which can produce potentially toxic and carcinogenic peroxides, especially when it is heated during processing. Triterpenes also enable our white blood cells to function better, and possess anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce joint pain.
When EPO is obtained via cold process which ensures minimal contact with heat, light or oxygen - the 3 factors that can damage oil quality, and is not refined, its quality is preserved at its purest natural state, along with natural components and antioxidants - including Triterpenes.
In fact, studies including those published in Medical Hypotheses, and Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, confirmed that Cold-pressed, Non-raffinated (unrefined) Evening Primrose Oil has indeed greater health benefits than conventional ones.
So, is the EPO you're taking Cold-pressed & Non-raffinated? |
