What it is Links EVENING PRIMROSE Oil is a rich 100% natural oil extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose, a plant native to North America and comes in an easy to swallow softgel. Why you need it Evening primrose oil is one of the most concentrated sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential Omega-6 fatty acid that helps to regulate hormones and improve nerve function. Evening primrose oil can be helpful in alleviating the symptoms of PMS and menopause, such as cramps, breast tenderness, bloating and mood swings. As it contains essential fatty acids, evening primrose oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce arthritis and eczema. It can also help to lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce hypertension. Evening primrose oil contains the pain relieving compound phenylalanine and is increasingly being used to treat chronic headaches. Dosage: Take one or two softgels daily, preferably with a meal. (For PMS - Take two to four softgels for one week before menses)
