Evening Primrose Pearls 500 mg
Crystal Star
Overview
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is a source of omega-6 fatty acids, primarily linoleic acid and GLA. While it has been promoted for various ailments, clinical evidence for its effectiveness is generally weak and inconsistent. The primary proposed benefit is due to its GLA content, which may offer anti-inflammatory actions. However, the effects of oral supplementation are variable, with more promising results observed when applied vaginally for cervical ripening.
