Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose oil is a supplement derived from the seeds of the evening primrose plant, which is native to North America. It is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that the body uses to produce substances involved in regulating various bodily functions, including inflammation and hormone balance. People commonly take evening primrose oil for conditions like premenstrual syndrome (PMS), skin issues like eczema, and arthritis. While many claim benefits, scientific evidence varies, so it's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
