Overview

Evening Primrose Oil is a source of omega-6 fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). While research suggests it may have some benefits in preparing the cervix for labor, evidence for other traditional uses, particularly for PMS and menopausal symptoms, remains inconsistent and unconvincing. The product provides a standardized dose of 1400mg of evening primrose oil. The efficacy of EPO for other uses requires further research.
