Evening Primrose Oil: Rich Source of GLA A tall, hearty native biennial, the evening primrose plant is abundant in many parts of the world. Native Americans first used the plant for upset stomachs and respiratory infections. They introduced it to European immigrants, who took it back to England and Germany.

The main medicinal components are extracted from the seeds in the form of an oil that contains essential fatty acids, including high amounts of gamma linoleic acid (GLA). GLA is an essential fatty acid the body uses to produce prostaglandins.

Evening primrose oil is also valuable for its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help counteract the damage caused by free radicals in the body.
