Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a plant native to North America, though it is now found in other parts of the world as well. It is recognisable by its large yellow flowers, which open mainly in the evening, which is why it is also known by the English name evening primrose, or, in Slovenia, ‘večerni svetlin’ or ‘večernica’.
Various parts of the evening primrose have traditionally been used by the indigenous peoples of North America, but over time the oil extracted from its seeds has come to hold a special place.
Evening primrose oil is characterised, amongst other things, by its gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content, a polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the group of omega-6 fatty acids. Although omega-6 fatty acids are found in many foods, GLA is present in the diet in considerably more limited quantities.
FutuNaturine capsules contain evening primrose oil with 9% GLA, so the recommended daily dose provides 90 mg of gamma-linolenic acid. It is precisely because of this distinctive composition that evening primrose oil has become a popular ingredient in dietary supplements.
The soft-gel formula is complemented by vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. At the same time, vitamin E plays an important role within the capsule itself, as, acting as an antioxidant, it helps to protect the oil from oxidation, thereby helping to maintain its quality.
Evening primrose oil is a popular choice, particularly among women at various stages of life, especially those of childbearing age and those approaching their golden years; however, it is also frequently taken by those wishing to enrich their diet with GLA.
Softgels offer a practical alternative to liquid oil, as they allow for easy consumption, precise dosing, and can be taken without the characteristic oily aftertaste.
The product is a dietary supplement.
Recommended daily dose: 2 softgels. Take the whole capsules during a meal, with a sufficient amount of liquid. In case of increased need, you can raise the daily dose to a maximum of 6 capsules.
