Jedwards International, Inc. is a wholesale bulk supplier of Evening Primrose Oil.
Evening primrose oil is cold-pressed extracted from the seeds of the Oenothera biennis plant. It is fully refined, resulting in a flavorless oil with a bland odor and clear-honey color. Evening primrose oil is widely used in the dietary supplement and cosmetic industries due to its naturally occurring levels of essential fatty acids. Evening primrose oil is rich in essential fatty acids with particularly high levels of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid C18:3n-6) and Linoleic Acid (C18:2n-6). The GLA content is typically at 10%, while the level of Linoleic acid is one of the highest found in nature ranging from 65-85%. Essential fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. Omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for human health but can only be obtained by consumption. Evening primrose oil receives positive press and has become a favorable dietary supplement since the body cannot produce these Omega-6 fatty acids naturally.

Virgin is considered the natural/raw material with the characteristic color, flavor, and aroma. Refining removes these properties so the material is a lighter shade than the virgin material and often times clear, off-white, or white with little-to-no scent or flavor.
Refined, bleached (non-chemical process), deodorized. An "RBDW" product goes through a winterization ("W") process in addition to the RBD process.
Deodorized materials go through a non-chemical, high-vacuum process to reduce their natural aroma. While the aroma is not removed fully, a deodorized product’s aroma is less potent than the natural or unrefined variety.
