What are the benefits of Organic Avocado Oil?

Avocados are the highest fruit source of vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease and common forms of cell damage by neutralising free radicals. A recent study showed the significance in including avocado when eating a salad and salsa – the avocado lipids (fats) helped extract the carotenoids (and significantly increased absorption) from the salad and salsa in greater quantities than if no avocado was included in the meal. Avocados are also the highest fruit source of a specific carotenoid called lutein. Other phytochemicals found in avocado include glutathione and beta-sitosterol, both of which have heart protecting factors.

What are the benefits of Organic Evening Primrose Oil?

Evening primrose oil (EPO) contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which helps the metabolism of certain anti-inflammatory agents in the body, useful in relieving various conditions including dermatitis and eczema (atopic dermatitis). Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, itchy dermatosis of multifactorial origin, which commonly starts in childhood. Defective metabolism of essential fatty acids leading to relative dominance of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins has been reported as an important factor in the pathogenesis of AD. EPO has been found to improve skin moisture, trans-epidermal water loss, elasticity, firmness, fatigue resistance and roughness. Cold-pressed oils have been shown to contain the greatest antioxidant activity.
