I was doing some research on GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid – the active ingredient in Evening Primrose Oil which is found in our Balanced Omega fish oil blend) and came across this article about Evening Primrose on an herbal website:

http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-evening-primrose.html

The article does a great job of outlining the many benefits of GLA for everything from headache relief to improved memory.  GLA works by keeping inflammation in check, so if some of the benefits listed in the article seem unconnected, remember that they all originate as problems of inflammation.  Balanced Omega is a great way to get GLA and fish oil (another anti-inflammatory) in a low-dose daily supplement to help combat the many sources of inflammation present in our daily lives (poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, need I go on?).  I like to take a few capsules if I feel a headache coming on and my husband has found that taking GLA helps him get rid of the daily aches and pains associated with having an active job (and surfing, which he does often now that we live in Hawaii!).
