Mode of Action - Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) contains the omega-6 essential fatty acid GLA. Fish Oil contains the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. Intake of a combination of EPO and Fish Oil may increase blood levels of the essential fatty acids DGLA (dihomo-gammalinolenic acid, a metabolite obtained from GLA), EPA and DHA. This effect is not achieved by ingesting either EPO or Fish Oil alone. An increase in blood levels of DGLA, EPA and DHA may shift the balance of eicosanoids produced to those with anti-inflammatory activity.
