Organic evening primrose oil: Qarma is produced from an organically-certified evening primrose oil that delivers a particularly high quality source of the omega-6 fatty acid. GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid). Special care over every stage of the production process ensures the oil is in its purest natural form, free of chemical additives, because research shows that the oil remains rich in natural elements with proven health benefits.

Equazen Nutraceuticals created  qarma to provide a highly pure source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA): The omega 6 long chain fatty acid is involved in most key processes of life, and a part of the membranes of cells.

GLA is crucial for general health, but can especially assist in maintaining skin condition by helping give greater fluidity and flexibility to the membranes of cells in the skin, and by helping to retain moisture.

• The result is smoother, healthy looking skin

GLA also acts as a precursor of prostaglandins: Prostaglandins are hormone-like elements, which regulate various body processes, such as the reproductive cycle and hormonal balance.

• The GLA within qarma can help provide nutritive support for menstruating women every day of the month

• 2 qarma capsules per day with food for up to 12 weeks

These levels of consumption reflect numerous studies which show that it can take about 12 weeks to build up the bodies stores of Long Chain Fatty Acids.

After this time you can reduce the intake to a maintenance level:

• Usually 2 qarma capsules per day
• Intake can be increased at any time to meet individual needs

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet

• Anyone on medication may want to consult their doctor before starting supplementation
• Do not exceed the recommended daily intake

Qarma Typical Nutrition Information Per Daily Intake (2 capsules)

Qarma Ingredients: Organic Evening Primrose Oil, capsule shell (gelatin, glycerol), antioxidant: tocopherol rich extract E306 (derived from IP-soya).

Including the shell, Qarma is made from 82.5% organically certified agricultural materials, (organic certification UK5).

Qarma contains the first EPO in the UK to be certified as organic. The five steps of Equazen production chain have been inspected and approved by either the UK Soil Association, or the main European certifying body, SKAL.

A particular strain of seed (Oenothera biennia) is used which gives a GLA content of 10% and is consistent, year after year.

All seed is certified as organic, and grown without synthetic agrochemicals or pesticides.

• Traceability means that Equazen can track each batch to the growing crop

The seed is extracted at an organically-certified plant. Equazen extract with a special mechanical press, designed to ensure the oil has minimal exposure to elements that can cause damage: heat, light and oxygen.

Resulting oil is specially filtered to remove PAH's and any other environmental toxins as well as any particles which may be left from the pressing. But the oil undergoes no further processing or refining.

• No solvents or chemicals used at any stage
• Only natural tocopherol is added when the oil is encapsulated at a pharmaceutical-grade facility, which also has organic certification
• Capsules are packed at a facility that has been visited and certified by the Soil Association

Rigid quality assurance entailed under the organic certification process ensures that throughout, the oil has no exposure to chemicals, synthetic additives or genetically modified material.

• As a result of the special filtering process qarma is now an even cleaner oil with a clear golden colour

As the oil undergoes no further refining or processing, the various elements such as natural antioxidants which would otherwise be stripped out is retained. Analysis of qarma showed that it had more than double the levels of antioxidants than generic refined EPO. Further, scans of qarma proved benefits at the molecular level. Independent research showed the organic EPO was rich in natural elements called triterpenes. Triterpenes are known to play various important roles for the well functioning of the body. These were not present in a refined EPO.

Everybody needs GLA: These extra benefits reinforce the main reason for taking qarma ensuring your body has an adequate supply of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). The omega 6 long chain fatty acid is involved in most key processes of life, and a part of the membranes of cells. So GLA is crucial for general health, but can especially assist in maintaining skin condition by helping give greater fluidity and flexibility to the membranes of cells in the skin, and by helping to retain moisture. The result is smoother, healthy looking skin.

GLA also acts as a precursor of prostaglandins: Prostaglandins are hormone-like elements, which regulate various body processes, such as the reproductive cycle and hormonal balance. The GLA within qarma can help provide nutritive support for menstruating women every day of the month.

It's time for an oil change: We all know there is a clear difference in taste and quality between orange cordial, or juice that comes straight from an orange. Equazen, likes to regard qarma as being the equivalent of freshly squeezed.

Test the difference yourself. If you look at one of the capsules you will see that it is a rich, gold colour. Break it open and taste: it has a pleasant nutty flavor. The combination of care and rigid quality assurance guarantees qarma is an evening primrose oil of the highest quality, delivering maximum benefits.
