Benefits
Evening primrose oil is extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.), a biennial plant native to North America whose yellow flowers open in the evening.
It stands out for its fatty acid profile: rich in linoleic acid, it also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), two polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-6 family. GLA is rare in the everyday diet; together with borage oil and blackcurrant seed oil, evening primrose oil is one of its main plant sources.
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (authorised claim, Regulation (EU) No 432/2012).
Hanoju Nachtkerzenöl + Vitamin E Kapseln provides, for 2 capsules a day, 1000mg of evening primrose oil and 30mg of natural vitamin E, i.e. 250% of the nutrient reference value (NRV) for vitamin E.
Why choose Hanoju Nachtkerzenöl + Vitamin E Kapseln?
Hanoju is a German brand of food supplements and natural products, marketed by Hanoju Deutschland GmbH, based in Damme, Lower Saxony.
Vitamin E is provided in its natural form, D-alpha-tocopherol, rather than as synthetic DL-alpha-tocopherol.
The capsules come in an amber glass jar, which protects the oil from light.
At 2 capsules a day, the 90-capsule jar covers 45 days of use.
What does science say?
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that the body produces itself from linoleic acid, through an enzyme called delta-6-desaturase. It is then converted into dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), a precursor of various signalling molecules.
The term ‘vitamin E’ covers a family of fat-soluble compounds, the tocopherols and tocotrienols. D-alpha-tocopherol (or RRR-alpha-tocopherol) is the form found in nature and the one the body preferentially retains.
In the oil, vitamin E also protects the polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are sensitive to oxidation.
Note: Food supplements should not replace a balanced and varied diet.
