Supports skin health

The oil from evening primrose seeds is rich in fatty acids like linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which are known to improve skin elasticity and moisture. According to research published in the "Journal of Dermatological Science", GLA can help reduce inflammation and improve the skin's barrier function, making it an excellent supplement for people with dry or sensitive skin.

Promotes hormonal balance

GLA in evening primrose oil has been shown to support hormonal balance, especially in women. A study published in the "Journal of Reproductive Medicine" showed that evening primrose oil may help alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause, such as mood swings, breast pain, and hot flashes.

Supports heart health

Linoleic acid, another important fatty acid in evening primrose oil, has been shown to have positive effects on heart health. According to a study in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition", linoleic acid can help lower cholesterol levels and improve blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Improves joint health

Research has shown that GLA can help reduce inflammation in the joints, making evening primrose oil a popular supplement for people with arthritis. A study published in the "Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases" showed that GLA supplements can decrease joint pain and stiffness in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Supports the immune system

GLA has also been shown to have immunomodulatory properties, meaning it can help balance the immune system's response. A study in the "Journal of Nutrition" found that GLA can improve immune function and reduce inflammation, making evening primrose oil a valuable supplement for supporting overall health and well-being.
