Description
With benefits targeting women of all ages, Omega Essential Fatty Acid"s role in women"s health is steadily gaining recognition. Science is confirming many of these benefits, especially for women who experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance.The fats in the Omega family (EFA) are used to make hormones and hormone-like substances called prostaglandins which are critical to women"s health. Because menstrual cramps can be impacted by prostaglandins, supplementing with Omega-3 fish oils decreased the number of reported menstrual symptoms in women with dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation).Supplementing with Omega-3 flaxseed has been found to be helpful in lengthening the luteal phase, thus increasing the production of progesterone, the feel-good hormone for women. Evening Primrose Oil, one of the richest sources of GLA (Gamma-linolenic Acid), is also linked to decreasing the depression, irritability, breast pain and tenderness as well as fluid retention that occurs for many women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome.
