Evening Primrose Oil 500 mg - GLA 45 mg
VQ Verified Quality
Overview
This Evening Primrose Oil supplement provides 45 mg of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) per 500 mg capsule. While EPO has shown efficacy in reducing mastalgia symptoms, the amount of GLA per individual capsule (45 mg) is on the lower end of generally studied effective doses for this benefit. However, the recommended serving of 1 to 2 capsules twice daily would deliver 90-180 mg GLA, which falls closer to, or within, the therapeutic range of 240-320 mg/day of GLA often studied for benefits like diabetic neuropathy.
The Good
Effective for reducing mastalgia (breast pain) symptoms.
Generally safe with a low incidence of mild side effects.
Cold-pressed and chemical-free extraction process.
The Bad
GLA dosage per single capsule (45 mg) is on the lower end for some therapeutic effects, requiring multiple capsules per day.
Evidence for benefits beyond mastalgia, such as eczema or arthritis, is inconsistent or inconclusive.
Caution advised for individuals on blood-thinning medications due to potential bleeding risk.
