Usage

General Description

Evening primrose oil, derived from the plant species Oenothera biennis, is a natural source rich in the essential fatty acids Omega-6 and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). These fatty acids, rarely found in high concentrations in plants, play a vital role in stimulating skin growth, regulating inflammation and maintaining heart health. Interestingly, our body can't naturally produce essential fatty acids, hence the importance of obtaining them through diet or supplementation. Also, it possesses phenylalanine which is essential in alleviating pain and headaches. However, like any other substances, taking too much of it may cause potential side effects. Therefore, its intake should be moderated or under the supervision of a health professional.
