Evening Primrose, a small yellow wildflower (Oenothera biennis), has been used medicinally for centuries. The oil, pressed from the seed, is rich in Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an Omega 6 essential fatty acid (EFA). "Essential" means that we have to consume the nutrient because the body does not produce it. Some foods actually contain small amounts of GLA, and the body produces GLA on its own from a number of dietary fats. Your body doesnt make enough of it, however, so supplementation with Evening Primrose oil is needed. Evening Primrose oil offers an unusually concentrated source, with 7% to 10% of its fatty acids available in the form of GLA. Primrose Oil helps to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails, as well as helping to control and regulate cell growth, particularly women, on a daily basis, with some finding that it may help to support the maintenance of hormonal balance.

Please consult your GP or medical professional before taking supplements, especially if you are pregnant or lactating, taking medication or under medical supervision. Do not exceed recommended dose.
