Provita Nutrition Evening Primrose Oil EPO 500 is a natural source of a very important nutrient, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), a member of what chemists call the omega-6 family of fatty acids. Fatty acids are important constituent parts of all fats. The body, for reasons of health, is required to make GLA from linoleic acid, the head of the omega-6 family line. Linoleic acid is found in the common vegetable oils with omega-6 content, such as corn oil, canola oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, sesame oil and olive oil.
