Why is GLA of interest?

Gamma-linolenic acid, or GLA, is an omega-6 fatty acid. The body can produce it from linoleic acid, while evening primrose oil supplies it directly. It has been studied in relation to skin and women’s comfort. Each capsule provides a clearly stated 100 mg of GLA.

What does research say about Evening Primrose Oil?

Clinical studies of evening primrose oil have examined several areas. In healthy adults, regular use was associated with improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, and smoothness, and reduced water loss through the skin. Studies in postmenopausal women examined psychological symptoms and, at 2,000 mg daily, night sweat frequency and severity. These findings concern specific preparations and populations. This formula provides 1,000 mg of oil and 100 mg of GLA per capsule, with a recommended range of 1–2 capsules daily.

FAQ / Evening Primrose Oil

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

What does 100 mg of GLA per capsule mean?

GLA, or gamma-linolenic acid, is a characteristic fatty acid in evening primrose oil. One capsule provides 100 mg; two provide 200 mg. Stating GLA separately makes it easier to compare fatty acid content as well as total oil weight.

Why add rosemary extract to the oil?

Oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids are sensitive to oxidation. Rosemary extract acts as an antioxidant to support the oil’s stability.

Should I take one or two capsules daily?

Adults may take 1–2 capsules daily with a meal. One provides 1,000 mg of oil and 100 mg of GLA; two provide twice those amounts. Do not exceed the recommended range.

Why take the capsules with a meal?

The directions specify taking the product with a meal. Choose a consistent meal to make regular use easier, and do not exceed 2 capsules daily.

Is Evening Primrose Oil vegan?

No. The capsule contains gelatin, so the product is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets. The oil itself comes from evening primrose seeds, with GLA and linoleic acid amounts clearly stated.

How long does the bottle last?

Each bottle contains 100 capsules. It provides 100 days of use at 1 capsule daily or 50 days at 2 capsules daily.

Who is this formula for?

Evening Primrose Oil is designed primarily for adult women who want a source of GLA as part of a routine focused on skin and everyday comfort through life’s changes. The recommended range is 1–2 capsules daily.
