Evening Primrose Oil is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid. Fatty acids are important for building prostaglandins, which are necessary for several body processes, including dilation of blood vessels, metabolizing cholesterol and other critical bio-chemical functions. Prostaglandins are essential hormone-like substances that help regulate system functions, such as immune, glandular, cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Evening Primrose Oil is beneficial for individuals who cannot convert lionlenic acid into gamma-linoleic acid, which can be a result of diabetes, zinc deficiencies and excessive alcohol consumption. Evening Primrose Oil may be used to help treat a variety of ailments, including skin conditions, respiratory problems, arthritis, high blood pressure, inflammatory conditions, and obesity.

(Individuals suffering from epilepsy should not take Evening Primrose Oil.)

Take two Nature's Sunshine Evening Primrose capsules daily with food.
