Evening Primrose Oil
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a plant native to North and Central America and a member of the Onagraceae family. It is an annual plant that has bright yellow flowers that bloom in the evening (hence the name). The plant produces seeds that are rich in a fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Evening primrose oil is a dietary supplement that is derived from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. It is rich in GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 fatty acid, and is sometimes taken to improve the health of the skin, reduce inflammation, and reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It has also been used historically for alcohol use disorder. Dietary supplements containing evening primrose oil generally are standardized by their gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA) content.

- Going through menopause? Don't sweat it.
- In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 112 healthy volunteers, subjects taking the GNC vitamin and mineral blends for six weeks experienced significant improvements in serum levels of certain key nutrients compared to a placebo and a basic multivitamin formula based upon multivariate statistical analysis of a group of B-vitamins (thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, and vitamins B-6 and B-12) and key antioxidants and cartenoids (a group of beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol, selenium, lutein, lycopene). Statistical improvements in SF-36 Vitality and Mental Health scores were also observed compared to placebo.
