An excellent source of GLA for dogs
The Evening Primrose Flower is a rich source of the omega-6 fatty acid also known as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). It has been shown that the presence of GLA in a dog’s diet has a boosting effect upon its anti-inflammatory response as well as a positive influence upon the skin and coat.
Anti-inflammatory booster
Many studies have investigated GLA’s anti-inflammatory effect and it is understood to be of benefit in the treatment of skin conditions which produce inflamed skin and dryness. Certain dog breeds that are predisposed to such illnesses could benefit from regular GLA. Fortifying shine GLA has been shown to improve the structure of cell membranes and help maintain good skin health. This is not limited to skin as a coat’s shine can be improved or restored to a glossy appearance.
Balance those hormones
GLA is said to have an influence on the production of compounds called prostaglandins within the body. This has been believed to have the beneficial effect of stabilising levels of reproductive hormones which can have a positive effect on a dog’s behaviour.
FOR A HEALTHY HEART AND CIRCULATION- The natural oils that are pressed from the seeds of the Evening Primrose flower provide a rich source of the omega-6 fatty acid known as Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA).
SUPPORTS THE HEALTH OF THE SKIN- GLA has been studied for its anti-inflammatory effect, and is thought to be of benefit in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions that result in skin and dryness. It is especially useful to breeds that are predisposed to developing inflammatory skin conditions.
CONTRIBUTES TO HORMONAL REGULATION- GLA also has an influence on the synthesis of a group of compounds known as prostaglandins. It has been suggested that this may in turn help to stabilise levels of reproductive hormones, which can have a positive effect on a dog’s behaviour.
