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.

Black Currant seed Oil
Black currant (Ribes nigrum) is a shrub native to Europe and parts of Asia. It produces small, edible berries known for their sweet-tart flavor and deep purple color. They are often used in a variety of culinary applications and are a popular flavoring agent. Black currants are a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and several other nutrients. They are also believed to have various health benefits, including boosting the immune system, improving cardiovascular health, and reducing inflammation. In addition to the whole fruit, black currant seeds are often utilized for dietary supplements and are sometimes marketed as 'black currant seed oil', which contain a high amount of GLA (Gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 fatty acid.

- EPO - Evening primrose oil
GLA - Gamma linolenic acid
- Andrew Lessman's Evening Primrose With Black Currant Seed Oil provides a concentrated blend of essential fatty acids (particularly GLA) from evening primrose and black currant seed oils to gently support women through the menstrual cycle. Just like vitamins, there are certain fatty acids your body cannot produce, yet are essential for optimum health and therefore must be obtained through your diet or supplementation. Used traditionally in America and in Europe to support women's health, evening Primrose and black currant oils contain high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid, and an important precursor to hormone-like substances in the body called prostaglandins.
- Our softgels are the perfect way to protect and enjoy the benefits of the delicate oils in Evening Primrose With Black Currant Seed Oil.

| Formulation |
- Evening primrose oil has been shown to support GLA levels and help to alleviate the mood swings and physical discomfort associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) for some women. Since evening primrose and black currant oils, along with fatty acids in general, are quite unstable and are prone to oxidation, in order to preserve their benefits it is important to deliver them in a manner that reduces oxidation and instability. Accordingly, we have developed our liquid-filled softgel capsules to protect against the damaging effects of oxidation on potency.
- Our unique, protective softgels also avoid the additives present in ordinary softgel capsules.
- Contains no milk, soy, yeast, corn, wheat, gluten, sodium, salt, sugar, fat, cholesterol, color, preservative, common allergens or manufacturing additives.
Contains no additives of any kind.
