The Health Benefits of Evening Primrose Oil
Perhaps one of the most sensational preventative discoveries since vitamin C, is Evening Primrose Oil. It contains the pain-relieving compound phenylalanine. This compound is increasingly being used to treat chronic headaches. But, its health benefits do not just stop there.
Evening Primrose Oil is used for a variety of ailments (as you're about to see) and is currently being studied as a treatment for aging problems, acne, heart disease, symptoms of menopause, multiple sclerosis, weight control and obesity. In fact, due to its therapeutic qualities, Evening Primrose Oil has become a standard herbal recommendation for maintaining youth, as well as preventing disease. Let's take a more in-depth look at this herbal supplement.

What is Evening Primrose Oil?

Derived from the seeds of the Evening Primrose (the Oenothera Biennis plant), EPO (as it is often referred to) is a rich source of omega-6 essential fatty acids. In particular, it contains a high concentration of a fatty acid called GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid) - a component that is largely responsible for its healing properties. In fact, GLA and other nutrients in this oil are essential for cell structure and help improve the elasticity of the skin. They also help regulate hormones and improve nerve function, disrupting problems ranging from PMS to migraine headaches. EPO can be purchased in capsule form and its recommended dose is 8 to 12 capsules a day, at a dose of 500mg per capsule.
While more research on this herbal capsule still needs to be studied, here are 8 problems Evening Primrose Oil may specifically help with:

1. Relieves discomforts associated with menopause, menstruation, endometriosis and fibrocystic breasts: It has been widely reported that EPO reduces hot flashes associated with menopause and increases feelings of well-being. The GLA in Evening Primrose Oil can also help lessen menstrual cramps and minimize premenstrual breast tenderness. Moreover, many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA. Consequently, taking this supplement, will help a great deal.

2. Eases joint pain and swelling associated with Rheumatoid Arthrtitis: GLA found in Evening Primrose Oil has been shown to reduce joint pain and swelling, side effects of this crippling disease. In fact, according to a study conducted over a span of six months, sufferers taking capsules containing GLA showed fewer signs of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. Another trial also showed that the number of tender and swollen joints also dropped significantly with GLA.

3. Prevents nerve damage as a result of diabetes: Research has shown that the GLA in Evening Primrose Oil can help prevent, and possibly reverse the nerve damage that is commonly seen with diabetes. A year-long study found that symptoms such as numbness, tingling and loss of sensation among participants with mild diabetic neuropathy were less marked in those who took Evening Primrose Oil, in comparison to those who took a placebo.

4. Reduce the effects of eczema: When the body has problems converting dietary fats into GLA, getting supplemental GLA from Evening Primrose Oil may be helpful. Studies have shown that this oil can outperform a placebo in relieving eczema related inflammation - and this includes inflammation, itching, oozing and flaky skin associated with this condition. By increasing their intake in GLA, sufferers may reduce doses of steroid creams and drugs.


5. Combats damage from multiple sclerosis: Evening primrose oil may be valuable in reducing the inflammation associated with progressive nerve disorder. The fatty acids may also contribute to healthy nerve development when taken over time.

6. Treats memory deficiencies associated with Alzheimer's: Evening Primrose Oil boosts transmission of nerve impulses and may possibly be valuable in treating this progressive brain disorder.

7. Nourishes nails, scalp and hair: The essential fatty acids in Evening Primrose Oil prevents nails from cracking, helping them remain generally healthy. The essential fatty acids found in EPO are also great for the scalp. Consequently, this supplement is especially valuable in treating a variety of hair problems.

8. Eases symptoms associated with osteoporosis: Studies have shown that those taking EPO alongside fish oil and calcium seemed to decrease bone loss and increase bone density. However, more research is needed in order to determine the role that EPO might play independently of the other supplements in this regard.

Care and Safety when using Evening Primrose Oil
Seizures: Evening Primrose Oil should be avoided among people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders, as this may increase the chance of having a seizure. People with schizophrenia taking certain drugs may also be at risk of a seizure. Medical advice should therefore be sought.

Anesthesia: Within two weeks of going for a general anesthetic, Evening Primrose Oil should be stopped due to an increased risk of bleeding.

What is the best time of the day to take vitamins and supplements?
The best time is probably whenever you’ll remember to take them and when it’s most convenient to take them. That said, there are benefits to taking some supplements at specific times:
• Multivitamins: Many people find that taking a multi on an empty stomach can cause stomach discomfort, so try taking it with food.
• Protein: Ingesting rapid-absorbing protein within 30 minutes of a workout (along with some carbs) helps maximize results. Evenly distributing protein intake throughout the day helps support muscles, metabolism and appetite. A slow-absorbing protein (like casein) before bed helps prevent muscle breakdown and support repair while your body is at rest.
• Amino Acids and BCAAs: To maximize muscle recovery and repair, a post-workout formula rich in aminos (particularly BCAAs) is ideal within 45 minutes of your workout.
• Caffeine: Caffeine and other stimulants can be taken right when you wake up or within 60 minutes of a workout. Avoid caffeine later in the day to prevent sleep disruptions. END

Positive Reviews

1. I recommend this product.
I have been plagued with night sweats as young as third grade and I am 37 now. Since becoming acquainted with GNC, I have researched items that benefit my body and needs.
Tired of waking up with sweat dripping down my stomach and soaking the sheets I ran across evening primrose oil and decided to try it. This product reduced if not halted my night sweats.
I am very pleased with this product and the price is reasonable.

2. Great supplement!
I have struggled with acne and slow growing hair for most of my adult life. I learned that I was gluten and MSG intolerant and cut that out of my diet hoping it would clear up my skin. It did clear up significantly but I still would get the occasional breakout and my skin just didn't have the glow I'd always wanted. I've been taking these twice a day for four months now and my skin is cleared enough that I rarely need to wear makeup (I wore a LOT before) and my hair is actually healthy and growing! I've tried many solutions before this, both medicinal and herbal, and this has given me the best results. Thanks, GNC, for a wonderful product!

3. Good for women!
I've been using primrose oil for years. It helps my skin and fare me through my period smoothly. I will continue using it, as it is also good for menopause.

4. Great Bargain
I have tried many other brands of Primrose Oil and this is one of the few without an after taste or smell. Helps my skin stay moist and my hair and nails seem to grow faster as well. Very good value for the product as well.
