Description

Blackmore's Evening Primrose Oil + Fish Oil provides Omega-3 & -6 fats, which support the body’s processes for dealing with inflammation and swelling in the joints, skin and other tissues, and are important for cell membrane and nerve function.
 
Features & Benefits:
 
  • Natural source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
  • Supports the body’s anti-inflammatory processes
  • Supports healthy joint function, flexibility and mobility
  • Supports the structure and function of cell membranes
  • Supports general health and wellbeing
  • Fish oil is tested for mercury, dioxins, PCBs and heavy metals
 
Evening primrose oil is a rich natural source of the omega-6 fatty acids gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA), and fish oil is a rich source of the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA.
 
Fatty acids are incorporated into every cell membrane in the body in the form of compounds called phospholipids. Cell membranes play the vital role of regulating what goes into, and what comes out of, each cell. For example, when a cell membrane is functioning optimally, it retains vital nutrients and electrolytes, has the ability to communicate with other cells, and is responsive to hormones.
 
The types of phospholipids present in the body influence the integrity and fluidity of the cell membranes. Cell membranes that are predominantly comprised of phospholipids from essential fatty acids such as those found in Blackmores Evening Primrose Oil + Fish Oil function more effectively than those derived from saturated fats or trans fatty acids.
 
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids like those found in Blackmores Evening Primrose Oil + Fish Oil are also used in the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandins – compounds that are important in the body’s processes for dealing with inflammation and swelling in the joints, skin and other tissues. In this way, they support the healthy functioning, flexibility and mobility of the joints, and help maintain healthy skin. They also play a role in healthy immunity and muscle function.
 
Fish oil also supports a healthy cardiovascular system by helping to maintain appropriate levels of triglycerides (fats) in the blood, and by helping to maintain appropriate blood viscosity (thickness).
 

Precautions

Within the recommended dosage range EPO is a safe supplement with very few adverse effects reported. Nausea, stomach pain and headache can occur if taken on an empty stomach and diarrhoea may occur at high dosages, indicating the need to reduce intake.

EPO is contraindicated for anyone with epilepsy because GLA increases the body’s prostaglandin levels. Increased levels of prostaglandins lower the threshold for seizures.

Anyone taking blood thinning drugs such as warfarin or aspirin should not take EPO, due to the anti-clotting action of prostaglandins.

If you take any type of medical drug it’s important to consult your health practitioner about possible drug interactions before supplementing with EPO.
