Overview

Evening Primrose Oil is a source of omega-6 fatty acids, primarily linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). While it has been traditionally used to support women's health and address various inflammatory conditions, the clinical evidence for many of these uses is inconsistent and does not consistently support its effectiveness. The one possible proven benefit is cervical ripening, however the method of administration matters.

The Good

Natural Source of Omega-6 Fatty Acids.

Source of GLA (gamma linolenic acid)

Convenient Softgel Capsule Form

The Bad

Potential Gastrointestinal Discomfort

Possible Drug Interactions

Limited evidence for many traditional uses

Is it for you?

Best For: Individuals seeking support for women's health, skin health, and a source of GLA.

Skip If: You are pregnant or nursing, have a bleeding disorder, or are taking blood-thinning medications without consulting a healthcare professional.
