Lamberts Pure Starflower Oil 1000mg

Lamberts Pure Starflower Oil 1000mg 90 Capsules are made in the UK to pharmaceutical GMP standards and are often recommended instead of Evening Primrose Oil to women going through the Menopause as well as for women at the time of their period. Starflower (borage) seeds have the highest Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) level of any plant material, and these capsules have a guaranteed level of 220mg GLA, making Lamberts Pure Starflower Oil one of the strongest available. 

• 90 capsules.
• Suitable for vegetarians.
• Contain a 220mg of GLA.
• Made in the UK to pharmaceutical GMP standards.
• Provides the same amount of GLA as found in two 1000mg evening primrose capsules.
• Recommended instead for women going through the menopause and for women at the time of their period.

Each Lamberts Pure Starflower Capsule provides the same amount of GLA as found in two Lamberts Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg 90 Capsules. The advantage of this is that only one capsule per day needs to be taken which makes Lamberts Pure Starflower a suitable alternative for those currently supplementing with high doses Evening Primrose Oil.

What is Gamma Linolenic Acid used for?

GLA is the precursor of a particularly important prostaglandin called PGE1, which takes part in regulating the nervous, cardiovascular and reproductive systems, Skin condition and other biological functions. Whilst the Body can make GLA from linoleic acid (the Omega 6 fatty acid present in vegetable oils) this conversion is sometimes slow or partially blocked. Hence, a dietary source of GLA can be very useful to the body in by-passing the conversion process, and numerous clinical trials have established that GLA supplements can be effective in certain situations.

The body produces several types of prostaglandin; some promote inflammation, others control it. The GLA in evening primrose oil is directly converted to important anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, which accounts for most of the supplement's therapeutic effects. In addition, GLA is an important component of cell membranes.
