Revitalife

Evening Primrose Oil is one of nature's most prominent healers providing relief from the symptoms of eczema, arthritis, high cholesterol and allergic dermatitis to name a few conditions. As you know animals suffer many of the same ailments that we humans do including the ones we have named above and like they do with us, natural treatments work in the same way for our pets.

The Evening Primrose is a member of the Willow family and it gets it name due to the yellow flowers of the plant opening in the evenings, in Britain we see the plant flowering in the Summer months of June and August.

Now the science, don't worry its not quantum physics! The main active ingredient is a fatty acid called Gamma Linolenic Acid or GLA, this aids tissue repair and promotes tissue formation. There, easy.

We often are asked about eczema and what can be done to help relive it in animals; evening primrose is our answer as it helps the animal convert linolenic acid to GLA (needed to aid the immune system produce healthy skin). Studies show that those suffering from conditions like eczema have difficulty breaking down linolenic acid and a course of EPO (evening primrose oil) has been shown to reduce irritation in over 90% of patients.
