Evening Primrose Oil

Evening Primrose oil is a rich, natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (gla) and linoleic acid (la). These important omega-6 fatty acids can only be produced in the body in small amounts and must largely be obtained from the diet. It's been used for decades to help improve women's health and wellbeing.

As a supplement, evening primrose oil has the following health benefits.

Helps relieve PMS symptoms

Premenstrual syndrome affects almost all women every month. According to studies, low levels of Gamme-linoleic acid (GLA) is found in women with PMS. EPO is a good source of GLA and is proven to help relieve these symptoms associated with PMS: depression, irritability and bloatiness. 

Helps reduce hot flashes associated with Menopause

Hot flashes are one of of the most uncomfortable side effects of menopause and the reason a lot of women choose to go on hormone replacement therapy. Studies have found that taking EPO supplement regularly helps to reduce the frequency, severity and duration of hot flashes.

Improves skin condition and helps with eczema

EPO is approved as a treatment option for eczema in many countries. 

Studies have also found that oral supplementation of EPO helps to improve the overall elasticity, moisture, firmness and fatigue resistance of skin.
