Capsules/Tablets: Evening Primrose Oil - gel capsules

Each bottle contains 120 expeller-pressed Evening Primrose Oil gel capsules of 1300mg each.

EPO (Evening Primrose Oil) is one of the most concentrated sources of the essential fatty acid GLA, a substance that the human body cannot produce, and may be specifically useful for times when GLA is in short supply.

"I was recommended Evening Primrose Oil for PMS symptoms. I'd start feeling anxiety, irritability, bloatedness, headaches, etc., and would take 1000mg immediately, then 1000mg more depending on the time of day... for a week or so 'til symptoms passed.

As my girls (6 in a row) got old enough, if they started getting crabby, they were encouraged to take a "jelly pill." If someone contended that they didn't ‘need one,’ that was all the more reason to take one. It became a given that if you said that, you went to get one out of the cabinet!

We never had ill side effects... just an evening out of temperament, and an easing of the uncomfortableness of PMS, including cramping, headaches and bloatedness.

I recommended them to a friend who was approaching, if not in, menopause. ‘Couldn't hurt’ was what we thought. I gave her a small handful and she came back a week later. ‘I'm gonna tell all my friends about these!!’ She was SO excited. I've been able to share this small ‘gift’ with many women... and husbands!!!"

Excerpt from Nourishing Traditions

Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Oil or Black Currant Oil: These oils contain a fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid of GLA, which the body produces from omega-6 linoleic acid by the action of special enzymes. In many individuals the production or effectiveness of this enzyme is compromised, especially as they grow older. Malnutrition, consumption of hydrogenated oils and diabetes inhibit the conversion of omega-6 linoleic acid to GLA. GLA-rich oils have been used to treat cancer, premenstrual syndrome, breast disease, scleroderma, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and cystic fibrosis. They have been shown to increase liver function and mental acuity.
