Traditional Native American and European medicine has utilized evening primrose oil for hundreds of years. It comes from a yellow flowering plant‚ and Pure Encapsulations' E.P.O. is a convenient source of it. One capsule provides 500 milligrams of cold-pressed evening primrose seed oil.
Evening primrose oil is a good source of several essential fatty acids‚ especially gamma linolenic acid (GLA)‚ which plays several essential roles in supporting overall health‚ especially in women. For example‚ it may promote premenstrual comfort‚ potentially relieving mild breast pain and other symptoms that distract from everyday life during that time of the month. EPO may also support cardiovascular health‚ most significantly in the female body.
In addition‚ evening primrose oil may also help you look better by promoting skin health. Gamma linolenic acid might work to modulate IFN-gamma and the metabolism of eicosanoids‚ which can potentially allow you to reduce irritation and redness while helping you maintain clear skin. Each softgel capsule of E.P.O. 500 mg is guaranteed to contain a minimum of 45 milligrams of GLA‚ which is nine percent of the total contents.
Finally‚ evening primrose oil may support joint health and comfort. As a result‚ you may be inspired to stay active‚ which has its own health benefits. The joint support comes due to the fact that the human body converts gamma linolenic acid into dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA)‚ a substance that may support joint comfort by promoting healthy cytokine activity and E1 prostaglandin (PGE1) production‚ which may lessen pain and stiffness by providing inflammation relief.
Take one to four softgels daily‚ in divided doses. You can take this supplement either with or between meals. At the recommended dosage‚ each 100-capsule bottle of Pure Encapsulations' E.P.O. 500 mg should last for about one to three months.
