Solgar Evening Primrose Oil capsules each contain 500mg of evening primrose oil providing a source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). Solgar Evening Primrose Oil supplement is derived from the seeds of the flowers of evening primrose plant, which grows in North America and blooms with bright yellow flowers in the evening, giving it its name.

Evening Primrose Oil supplements are often taken by women seeking a natural solution to hormonal support and recommended by natural practitioners to support healthy nourished skin. The beneficial effects of evening primrose oil (EPO) are generally associated with the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content of this oil, which is involved in the production of the hormones, known to support areas of health pertinent to women of child bearing years.  Many women find that Primrose and Starflower oil supplements help relieve menopausal symptoms.  It is also known as a fatty acid which helps prevent hardening of the arteries, heart disease, PMS and high blood pressure.

The oil used in this product is from the pressed seeds of the primrose plant which is the rich source of omega 6, a fatty acid. There are few foods that contain this important fatty acid and although your body can make it is it not very efficient so you could benefit from taking a supplement.
