Primrose Oil, also known as Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), comes from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. Like black currant seed oil and borage oil, EPO contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1).‡
Primrose Oil is cold-pressed and produced without the use of any solvents.‡
Used for centuries as nutritional support for a wide range of physiological functions, several studies have indicated that Primrose Oil 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.‡
Other 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. Additionally, EPO may potentially be supportive of premenstrual comfort.‡
