Today I will be reviewing one of my favourite health supplements - Starflower Oil.
Starflower Oil is said to be one of nature's richest known source of the essential fatty acid GLA. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is a dietary omega-6 fatty acid which helps in minimising the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Since I suffer from migraines, I thought of trying this supplement and see if it helps with my migraine episodes.
I ordered the Starflower Oil capsules from the Healthspan website. Here is some information about the product from the website. Nutritional Values: Typical values per capsule, % RDA (where applicable) in brackets:
- Pure Starflower Oil 500mg of which GLA 22% (representing approx 110mg)
- Natural Source Vitamin E 5mg (50)
Ingredients: Starflower Oil, Capsule Shell (Modified Starch - of vegetable origin, Maltitol Syrup, Glycerin, Glycerin Monostearate), Natural Source Vitamin E.
My experience: I have been using the capsules for about 4-5 weeks now and it has helped with my migraine. Erratic hormones are one of the triggers for migraine in me. These capsules have helped a lot in reducing the severity of the migraine. I still get the migraines but they are not as severe or debilitating as they used to be. Apart from this, the capsules have been effective in balancing hormones. I have noticed that it reduces the premenstrual breast pain and also the severity of menstrual cramps. An added bonus is the beneficial effect it has on skin because of its Vitamin E content. Overall, its a fabulous product for ladies.
Pros
- Its gelatin free
- Suitable for vegans and vegetarians
- Balances hormones
- A rich source of the essential fatty acid GLA
Availability - On Healthspan website
Price: £9.95 for 180 Capsules
