Femorose 500 mg is a nutraceutical capsule formulated with Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), a natural source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid. It is widely used to support women’s health, particularly in conditions related to hormonal balance and essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency. Femorose 500 mg plays an important role in maintaining normal cellular structure, supporting prostaglandin synthesis, and improving overall fatty acid metabolism in the body.

The therapeutic benefits of Femorose are mainly attributed to its GLA content. GLA is a precursor of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), which is further involved in the formation of prostaglandins that regulate inflammation, pain, and hormonal responses. By supplying GLA directly, Femorose bypasses the rate-limiting metabolic step of converting linoleic acid (LA) to GLA, ensuring better bioavailability and clinical effectiveness.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Evening Primrose Oil equivalent to Gamma Linolenic Acid

• Strength: 500 mg

• Dosage Form: Capsule

Therapeutic Class

• Herbal and Nutraceuticals

Indications

Femorose 500 mg is indicated for the management and support of:

• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms

• Cyclical mastalgia (breast pain associated with menstrual cycle)

• Lactation support

• Essential fatty acid deficiency states

Pharmacology

Femorose 500 mg improves the essential fatty acid composition of plasma, erythrocytes, platelet lipids, and increases α-tocopherol levels. It has been shown to enhance total fat and EFA content in breast milk, making it beneficial during lactation. The supplied GLA is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and is directly converted into DGLA and other prostaglandin precursors, influencing the prostanoid pathway.

GLA and its metabolites help maintain normal cell membrane integrity and regulate inflammatory responses. In vitro studies have also demonstrated cytostatic activity on certain malignant cell lines, indicating its potential role in modulating abnormal cell proliferation.

Dosage and Administration
