Gamma-Linolenic Acid (9% GLA) and Cis-Linoleic Acid are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. They naturally occur in Evening Primrose Oil. These essential fatty acids are necessary components of all body cells, but not found in commonly consumed foods. Vitamin E is also included as an antioxidant.
Nature Made Evening Primrose Oil is recommended for women's health and emotional well-being. Evening primrose oil (oenothera biennis) is used to treat premenstrual conditions such as irritability, breast tenderness, and bloating. Researchers suggest that a minimum of 3 percent of the daily caloric intake of healthy adults should be derived from essential fatty acids such as cis-linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid, which perform many vital functions and are necessary for proper cellular metabolism.

For Omega 3 Nov 11, 2008
I am a believer in supplements, and (amongst other things) I take Evening Primrose Oil capsules. This bottle contains 180 softgels, and two of these babies (1000 mg Primrose Oil) contain:
720 mg of Cis-Linoleic Acid
90 mg of Gamma Linolenic Acid
30 IU of Vitamin E.
Now if you are looking for a source of Omega 3, Evening Primrose Oil is great. Omega 3 is known to be more effective when you get it directly from the food you eat, BUT and here's the kicker, it's also more effective when Omega 3 doesn't have to compete with Omega 6. Many supplements lump the Omega Fatty Acids together, or present a supplement with larger amounts of Omega 6.
The American diet is notoriously weighed towards Omega 6. That's partly due to the meat people eat (cows destined for the meat market are fed a corn-based diet). I can't stand Fish Oil capsules, so for me, the Evening Primrose Oil capsules are a good alternative.
I like the Nature Made brand. The company was founded in Northridge, California in 1971, and many of their products carry DSVP certification (United States Pharmacopeia's (USP) Dietary Supplement Verification Program). Although, it should be noted that the certification is currently limited and does not extend to all products. The Nature Made company also has a great website and you can sign up for specials (and free stuff).
