20 Best Evening Primrose Oil Supplement (2023 Updated)

I started taking these about a week before my period started. Normally I have sore breast for a week before I start, then when I do start I have horrible cramps the first day or two. With these I had ZERO period symptoms.

I literally didn’t even know that I was starting my period until it was just there. I’ve had no mood swings or cravings, no cramps or sore breast. This stuff is amazing! I was surprised at how quickly I saw results when normally it can take up to 30 days of using a product.

I will definitely keep using! I took as directed 1 tablet 3 times daily with a meal.

I took these when my hormones and sex drive were all out of whack after having my first ovarian cyst rupture. My OBGYN wanted me to go back on hormonal birth control because I was so scared of getting another cyst.

I agreed but I felt so off adjusting to it on top of everything else. I am an esthetician and was fortunate enough to have a homeopathic doctor as a client who recommended evening primrose oil. I believe it helped because I usually go a little crazy when my hormones act up but these helped me keep it together and handle everything with much more ease than I would have without them.

I was told it would help with hot flashes but it hasn’t worked for me in that way. I’ve been taking it a little over a year and a half bow. I think I’m done taking it. My entire head just pours with sweat for no reason at all.

Sitting inside in air conditioning. If I try to do any chores inside the house it’s like someone’s pouring a cup of water over my head. It’s horrible!!!! Not to mention embarrassing when I’m out in public.

I look like a freak sitting there having to constantly wipe my forehead and neck and entire face over and over. Maybe it has worked for some and maybe it works for other things. Oh well. I tried it.

Barlean’s Evening Primrose Oil : I like the product, because it’s pure & unrefined. It helps my skin problem : Eczema. It helps improve my skin health : helps smooth skin and improve it’s : elasticity, moisture, firmness.

It helps PMS Symptoms. It helps reduce hot flashes. It’s healing benefits may be due to its Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA) content.

I have been taking Evening Primrose Oil by Barlean’s Organic Oils for about three months, but I have been using EPO for many years, off and on. I had endometriosis and wish I had known about EPO before I had surgery for it.

I am beginning a long-term regimen now of taking it daily. I also had an injury in 2008 which unfortunately increased the progress of arthritis and created nerve damage, and I had nearly resigned myself to the pain and swelling.

When I started taking the EPO again, I was amazed by how quickly I noticed pain relief, and the swelling in my hands and fingers has practically disappeared. My skin is regaining elasticity also. I hope that PureFormulas can continue to offer this product.

I ordered it when it was 10% off.

This stuff works wonders! My gynecologist told me to take this for “change of life” issues, and I’ve tried a couple brands but Barlean’s is by far the best quality. The dark bottle and dark-tinted capsules keep the oil from going stale (it’s best to keep it in the refrigerator after opening, as well).

EPO does help with my menopause issues, and it also does wonders for my skin and hair. I take one capsule in the morning and one in the evening with food. I had a dry patch of eczema or psoriasis (not sure which) on my ankle which never cleared up with any cortisone ointment I tried.

After I got halfway through my first bottle of Barlean’s EPO it was GONE. The skin on my face is smooth and my hair is thick and lush, despite menopause, hair dye and flat-irons. I also think it helps my joints stay supple.

I have turned some of my female friends on to this product and have heard back good things about how it’s good for their skin and hormonal breakouts. This IS a product for women – there’s stuff in there that guys don’t need! – but especially for women “of a certain age.

” The only drawback is that the capsules are huge. I’d recommend taking them with food for that reason.

I saw this at the store and read through the description. Decided to give it a chance since I was having problems with hormonal acne. Obviously, I didn’t see much difference at first, but after taking 1-2 tablets every day as part of my skincare routine I noticed how my skin cleared up and my hair and nails have been looking better and healthier.

Personally, the tablets had no weird taste because I immediately washed them down with some water. Highly recommend it!.

I started taking these pills back in November. It’s a 90 day supply since you can take one oil pill per day. What I’ve noticed is the following: 1. Clear and smooth skin I had acne since I was 14. I’m now 33 and it was getting out of hand.

I would literally tear up seeing my face so unhealthy from acne. I tried every single item you can think of related to acne products. My face has been clear since I started taking them. 2. Hormonal balance- I was taking Prozac for my anxiety and depression.

Once I’ve started taking these pills, I felt like I didn’t need to take my antidepressants. I feel so calm, more happier. I haven’t had any anger issues related to stress. My period used to last 7 days!!!! Now my period last up to five or six.

No heavy bleeding like before since I had my tubes tied. This is my honest 3 month testing. If it’s helping me, I’m sure you will benefit too.

I’ve been taking Evening Primrose since high school. About 95% of the time since, my neighborhood health store carried it and then went out of business. I’ve been purchasing from GNC for over 20 years.

My skin is clear, I’ve never been with joints that give aches and pains. My job is demanding at times and I unload pallets once a month and push u-boats almost daily. I am a woman over 50 and swear by this and attribute this for my overall great health.

got this without reading the ingredient list. I am disappointed this uses bovine gelatine therefor not suitable for vegetarians. I do like that it comes in a glass bottle with a metal screw cap though so it’s recyclable and better for the environment.

Having not taken an Evening Primrose Oil supplement before, I was not sure what to expect, if anything, but I was pleased with the results. I took two capsules daily with plenty of water and found them easy enough to swallow.

I was going through an annoying combination of skin issues with dryness and the odd breakout. However, after constant use, I have noticed a marked improvement in my complexion with not only clearer skin but also a softer, smoother texture.

My skin generally looks fresh and more radiant now in its appearance All in all, with regular intake, the results and benefits are good and are there to be had. Perfect for maintaining glowing healthy looking skin and with the added benefit of vitamin E.

Will definitely repurchase.

Been using these capsules for three weeks and I’m pleased to say that after a week I began to notice that my skin feels and looks more supple. My dry patches gradually disappeared and I’m not noticing new ones.

My legs and thighs are not as dry as usual. I mean hoping it is associated but, I have noticed my knees and hips are not sore after my Sunday run. These capsules are a nice small size and easy to swallow with water.

Unlike other brands, I have not had any repeats or after taste and I have not noticed any associated smell. These capsules are great value for money and effective.

Great product! Very nice, professional and helpful staff. Easy to order and always promptly receive shipment. My urologist recommended this product to me to help with recurring UTI’s. I have been using it for probably about 2 years.

I first purchased it from a local specialty pharmacy and one time they did not have the Pure Encapsulations Brand so I had to purchase another brand. Did not like it!! It just wasn’t the same quality as Pure Encapsulations so I began to search online to see where I could order it so that I would not have to worry about not being able to get the Pure Encapsulations Brand.

That is where I found Pure Prescriptions and liked what I read about your company and such so I started ordering from you. Have been pleased ever since.

First it was an experiment. My friend Anne talked about the Borage Oil her nutritionist has recommended her and she could not stop to praise it. I thought to myself, ok, it does not hurt to try it at least.

I have nothing to lose, it’s an experiment. I ordered the BORGE OIL (two years ago) and since then I am religiously taking it. My skin got brighter and firmer, my nails and hair is growing faster and got shinier AND I did not ever get sick like my other friends since I am taking the BORAGE OIL.

I believe in it now and I will continue to take it every day. Angela.

It has been a while since I used a dry shampoo – I had tried a couple of brands and after leaving my hair with a ‘powdery’ look and feel, I had decided I’d rather wash my hair more often than using any of that stuff.

A few years have gone by, I am a lot busier than I used to be and I decided it was time to invest in a dry shampoo again. After looking at dozens of products, I picked the Herbal Essences Naked because it has tapioca and silica but no aluminium in it.

I follow the direction and I must say, I really liked how my hair looked afterwards! My hair can get quite oily in between shampoo, normally I wash it as soon as it doesn’t look clean but I can now comfortably go one more day.

I have some blond foils and my roots are not incredibly dark, but they are darker and I couldn’t see any of that ‘white powdery’ look, my hair looked exactly the same, but cleaner. The dry shampoos I used in the past possibly were a little more effective, but I simply didn’t enjoy how my hair felt.

I would say Herbal Essences Naked gives you enough boost to make your hair look cleaner, but not excessively – just the right amount, so it still looks natural. The product does give you a little bit of volume, but not much and it doesn’t last very long – however I didn’t buy it for volume, so that doesn’t bother me.

I like the fresh minty scent and I like how light my hair feels after using it. I am happy with my purchase!.

This is another one I constantly bought for Evening Primrose Oil. I believe this is my 5th bottle before writing a review, I have also bought 1000mg ones as well as 500mg ones. The result is great, especially if you are vegan.

Usually I buy whenever there is sales for these, because my entire family is taking these, so we run out pretty quickly. I am man, but after doing searches about EPO, it is also suitable for men, especially with the hair grown and skin elasticity.

It is suitable for me and I am reguarly taking this supplement. Hope this will help you with your decision to purchase. Thanks for reading.

I bought this less than a week ago, and after a few days, I can see a massive improvement in my skin. I can’t believe I can get a supplement that will work perfectly. I’m so thankful..

I have been taking efamol for years to help with my hormones. I couldn’t be without these now as I have definitely seen an improvement with my overall health and well-being. Buying them is so much cheaper on ebay than anywhere else.

thankyou.

I’ve really looked into this. A lot of the research on EPO is old (1990’s), but research has demonstrated that EPO acts on delta-6-desaturase, the enzyme responsible for converting linoleic acid to gamma linolenic acid (GLA).

An increase in GLA correlated with a decrease in atopic dermatitis. The mechanism through which it acts isn’t fully elucidated, and linoleic acid isn’t BAD for your skin – it’s the low amounts of either LA or GLA that are linked to acne problems.

EPO is high in omega 6 essential fatty acids, which it’s important to note here that without a balance of omega-6 to omega-3’s, the anti-inflammatory properties are actually pro-inflammatory (a lot of stuff wrt immunity is like that) – so when taking this, it’s essential to monitor your intake of omega-3’s as well (a ratio of 4:1 – 1:1 is ideal).

everybody will react a little differen will react a little differently, but it’s not estrogenic and there isn’t convincing evidence that it regulates hormone levels in any way.

Bought this because it is vegan. However, if you live in hot weather this may not be for you. Needs to be keep cool. If not, it sticks together; therefore difficult to get out of jar; therefore capsules may break and lose the oil.

This is my 2nd bottle . I am over 60 and want to support my horomoe sysrem naturally. It also is very goodf for reducing wrinkles on face! I take 1 am and 1 pm along with Vit d supplement

This product was recommended to me by my naturopath. I am happy with the product. The capsules are not too large. The product is a little pricey, which isn’t ideal. Would recommend.

Primrose oil was recommended by my ND. It helps with heart palpitations – heart beats more smoothly. Was having palpitations at night which would awaken me several times. Taking this primrose oil has help tremendously.

I have Hashimoto’s and my doctor designed a health recovery plan that included EPO. BodyBio is the EPO she prescribed. After taking 3 per day for almost 2 yrs. , I have seen BIG improvements in my skin.

I no longer have acne breakouts at 66 yrs. young. Thyroid disease tends to dry out hair & skin and these conditions have also improved a lot. My digestion is much better too! Hot flashes have been reduced to nil & I am not bloating or irritable around that time of the month.

I had endometrial ablation 18 yrs. ago, but still suffered from cramps & bloating. Taking EPO has helped tremendously! It has definitely reduced inflammation & menopausal symptoms to nothing unless I eat sugar or bad grains.

BodyBio is a great company & I like the fact that I can order straight from the company at a reduced cost. I have NEVER had a problem with any of my orders & auto order & pay is a snap; which ensures I never run out.

I also use other products by BodyBio such as: Tudca, PC, & Elyte. Love all their products I take. I highly recommend this company & their clean, beneficial products!.

I was talking to a doctor, who is not my personal physician but a friend of mine. I was complaining that my nails keep splitting. She told me to get a B-Complex with Pantothenic Acid (maybe). I think that is what she recommended.

Anyway, the first place I looked was Body Bio and whatever she recommended is in your B+ so I love it and my nails do too! It was not about growing long nails; it was about stopping my nails from splitting almost under where my nail meets my finger.

Ouch!.

I was struggling with my hormone replacements (for menopause) when my doctor suggested I try Evening Primrose Oil. Since I already ordered the majority of my supplements from Bodybio, I decided to try their Evening Primrose Oil.

I couldn’t believe the results! I feel fantastic! No more struggles with menopause or my hormonal replacements. This oil made the difference!.

I’ve been taking these for several years now after being recommended by an elderly Indian lady who used to thread my eyebrows. She swore that Evening Primrose was something that all women above 20 years of age must take to prepare for childbirth, menstrual cramps, period irregularities and eventually pre-menopause and beyond.

This lady was around 65 and she looked amazing. She remarked that when her daughter got married, she recommended that she take evening primrose and apparently her childbirth went very smooth. My brows also turned out very smoothly.

Upon returning home, I ordered a bottle straight away. Over the years I’ve noticed that my period pains were gone and my cycle became a lot more regular or predictable. I make it a rule to take one after dinner / before bed and it seems to be working.

Definitely recommend it to all women. This one from Now is excellent because it comes in higher dosage of 1300mg so it’s potent formula.

Gyn prescribed it to be for breast pain but it has many more health benefits. Evening primrose oil dietary supplement is good for atopic dermatitis (a type of eczema), rheumatoid arthritis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast pain, menopause symptoms, and other conditions.

Evening primrose oil may also be included in products that are applied to the skin. Anyone preparing for natural birth must consider taking this for 2 months before delivery, it increases tissue elasticity.
