Why It Works

Why it works — Key formulation facts and active component

Specifics about GLA content, metabolic role, and delivery that explain how the oil provides nutritional support.*

01

GLA content and role

Each capsule supplies 45 mg GLA, the essential fatty acid that is metabolized to DGLA, a precursor associated with production of prostaglandin E1.

02

Cold‑pressed seed oil

Cold pressing preserves the oil without solvent extraction, keeping the native fatty acid profile intact.

03

Oil matrix for fatty acids

Delivering GLA in an oil softgel provides the lipid vehicle that naturally carries essential fatty acids.

04

Measured energy and fat

Each softgel provides about 0.5 g total fat and roughly 5 calories, reflecting the concentrated oil dose.

E.P.O. (evening primrose oil) – Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) provides versatile support for healthy skin, cardiovascular function and premenstrual comfort. This oil is fresh pressed; absolutely no chemicals are used in the extraction process.

What Is It?

Evening primrose oil (EPO), a source of essential fatty acids such as gamma linolenic acid (GLA), has been used in Europe since the seventeenth century and by the Native Americans for centuries as nutritional support for a wide range of physiological functions, including joint, skin and cardiovascular health.*

Uses For E.P.O. (evening primrose oil)

Joint Health: In the body, GLA is metabolized to dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA). Several studies suggest that DGLA promotes healthy prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) production and supports healthy cytokine activity, a mechanism that may help to support joint comfort.*

Skin Health: Several studies have indicated that EPO may help support the look and feel of healthy skin. A clinical trial reported that EPO supported healthy skin through a modulation of IFN-gamma. Another study revealed that EPO promoted skin health and led to a more favorable shift in eicosanoid metabolism.*

Cardiovascular Health: Animal studies suggest that EPO may support healthy lipid metabolism and may provide oxidative protection by promoting glutathione reductase and transferase activities. A clinical trial reported that GLA in combination with EPA/DHA significantly promoted healthy cardiovascular function in women.*

Menstrual Comfort: EPO supports GLA levels, which may potentially be supportive of premenstrual comfort.*
