What does the formula contain and what is the function of the GLA?
The formula includes evening primrose seed oil (10% GLA), borage seed oil (20% GLA), natural antioxidants (tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate, propyl gallate), and vitamin E (D-alpha tocopheryl acetate). GLA is an essential fatty acid involved in the synthesis of lipid mediators implicated in inflammatory regulation and skin barrier function.

When are the effects noticeable?
The effects are usually observed after several weeks of continued use; studies on GLA describe improvements in skin and premenstrual symptoms from 6–12 weeks onwards, although individual response varies.

Can it be combined with hormonal contraceptives or medical treatments?
There is a potential for drug interactions; in particular, caution is advised with anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents, and the combination with hormonal treatments should be reviewed. It is recommended to discuss compatibility with the prescribing professional.

Is it suitable for vegans?
No. The capsule contains gelatin; therefore, it is not suitable for vegan diets. It is gluten-free and lactose-free.

What is the recommended dose and for how long?
The recommended dosage is 4 capsules per day, divided into two doses. A typical usage period to assess effects is 30 to 90 days; it is advisable to reassess after this period.

Does it have side effects?
Adverse effects are infrequent and generally mild: gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or skin reactions. In people with a risk of bleeding or those on anticoagulant therapy, the risk of bleeding may be increased.

Can it be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

The recommended dosage is 4 capsules per day, divided into two doses (for example, morning and evening), with plenty of water. They are preferably taken with food to improve gastrointestinal tolerance and lipid absorption. The recommended treatment duration to assess effects is 30–90 days; periodic clinical follow-up and reassessment are suggested. The dosage pattern can be adjusted in monthly cycles according to individual response and needs.

- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
- Food supplements do not replace a varied and balanced diet or medical treatment.
- Keep out of reach of young children.
- Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Use caution and consult with your healthcare professional if you are taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, hormonal drugs, or anti-inflammatory medications.
- Discontinue use if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs and consult a doctor.
- Storage: cool, dry place, protected from sunlight.
- Preferably consume during monthly cycles if used for premenstrual relief; adjust the duration according to clinical assessment.

Suggested use: smoothie with vitamin C for antioxidant synergy and skin support.
Ingredients: 150g of strawberries or kiwi (source of vitamin C), 1 ripe banana, 200ml of plant-based milk (soy or almond), 1 tablespoon of chia or flax seeds (omega-3), 2 capsules (to be taken with the smoothie).
Preparation: To prepare, simply blend the fruit with the plant-based milk and seeds until you obtain a smooth consistency. Take the capsules with the smoothie (no need to open them; the oil is protected inside the capsule). Suggested combination: Incorporate this into a nutrient-rich meal to complement supplementation with magnesium, collagen, or a multivitamin, depending on your nutritional needs.

Suggested diet (general guidance for 7 days with a focus on hormonal and skin health):
- Prioritize foods rich in essential fatty acids: oily fish twice a week, flax/chia seeds and nuts.
- Increase the intake of vitamin C (citrus fruits, kiwi, strawberries) for antioxidant synergy with the formula.
- Include quality proteins: legumes, eggs, fish and plant sources; integrate food or hydrolyzed collagen if additional dermal support is required.
- Ensure adequate magnesium intake (leafy greens, nuts, whole grains) and consider supplementation if deemed necessary by a healthcare professional.
- Maintain adequate hydration and a regular eating pattern to promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and weight control when that is the goal.
- Avoid excessively low-fat diets, as the absorption of GLA and vitamin E depends on the presence of lipids in the intake.
- Integrate moderate sun exposure for complementary vitamin D (sunshine vitamin) synthesis in hormonal and skin health, always with appropriate precautions.

This dietary proposal is a guideline and should be adapted to personal requirements, allergies, intolerances and medical conditions; integration with multivitamins and other nutritional supplements is recommended under professional supervision.
