Evening primrose oil (EPO) comes from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. It is a rich source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Prostaglandins positively affect every organ of the body, and are especially beneficial to the heart, skin, and immune system. A shortage of prostaglandins results in impaired health. With an increase in GLA in the diet, the body is better able function and fight disease.
Among other health benefits, EPO has been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve the symptoms of eczema, alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, relieve premenstrual pain, slow the progression of multiple sclerosis, and improve the behavior of hyperactive children.
