The evening primrose plant is one of the most concentrated natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that supports a healthy inflammatory response.* Reach for it to support healthy hormones, glowing skin, blood flow, and nerve health.*

Key Benefits of Evening Primrose Oil

  • Healthy Hormones: GLA supports prostaglandin production, which influences mood, menstrual comfort, and blood flow.*
  • Skin Hydration and Elasticity: The skin barrier structure is made partially of fatty acids, like the ones found in evening primrose oil. Taking it regularly can support healthy sebum production, helping the skin stay hydrated and supple.*
  • Healthy Inflammation Response: GLA influences the prostaglandin pathways involved in the body's inflammation response, which can influence pain, swelling, and general discomfort.*
  • Cellular Function and Nerve Health: As an essential fatty acid, GLA is incorporated into cell membranes throughout the body, contributing to healthy cells and nerves..*

Bioactive EPO for Holistic Balance

Evening primrose oil supplements are a holistic choice for hormone, nerve, and circulation health.* Extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis), the real hero is the high gamma linolenic acid (GLA) content,  a building block for prostaglandins.* 

Bioactive GLA to Balance Your Body’s Natural Rhythms*

Because the body cannot make GLA on its own, food or supplement intake are the only way to maintain healthy levels.*At the cellular level, GLA and linoleic acid are incorporated into cell membranes, where they contribute to structural integrity, fluidity, and signaling capacity.* These omega-6 fatty acids go to work for skin health, where linoleic acid reinforces the skin barrier, preserves moisture, and helps balance sebum * Evening primrose oil has long been used as a complementary supplement for hormonal changes, menstrual regularity, respiratory health, and strong skin, hair, and nails.*

2 softgels with food or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner.

    Evening Primrose Oil

    I started using this product over 20 years ago, because my late husband, Dr. Douglas F. Wacker, got me going on this, and I haven's stopped

    It's kinda crazy how calming this is

    I bought this after being really surprised and impressed with how much PC and Balance oil have been helping me with focus and mental clarity. I got this b/c I am tired of crazy hormones making me rage out during my cycle. I'm shocked how much it works. I feel way way way more calm when I take it. One time so much so that I took a nap. So I do find I have to take it when I am midway into work so I just remain focused, rather than if I take it on a day off, where I almost feel so calm that I just end up being lazy. It's that calming, haha. Close to having a light buzz. My sisters and I all take it now. My one sister has bad anxiety and said it helped a lot to calm her (she compared it to being a little stoned, haha). Really really helps with the mood swings. Highly recommend.

    Highly recommend!

    I’ve been using Evening Primrose Oil for a few weeks now, and the difference has been noticeable. My skin feels more hydrated and calm, and I’ve seen a real improvement in overall skin texture—especially during times when my hormones usually throw everything off.

    What really impressed me is how it helped ease PMS-related symptoms like breast tenderness and mood swings. The capsules are easy to swallow, gentle on my stomach, and I appreciate that it’s a natural supplement without unnecessary additives.

    If you’re looking for something to support hormonal balance, skin health, or overall wellness, Evening Primrose Oil is absolutely worth trying. It’s now a staple in my daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, evening primrose oil is well tolerated and does not cause side effects when taken at the recommended dose. That said, some people may have symptoms like headache, upset stomach, dizziness, or nausea when starting the supplement or taking it without food. People who take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications should ask a doctor before using evening primrose oil, since the omega-6 fatty acids may interact with these medications. As with any dietary supplement, consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition.

Two softgels daily with food, providing 250 mg of GLA and 1,743 mg of linoleic acid per serving, or as otherwise recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Some practitioners may recommend a higher dose for specific health goals, so work with a qualified provider to decide the right amount for you.

When the body is low in essential fatty acids, common symptoms include dry, rough, or scaly skin, reduced elasticity, and a barrier that struggles to hold moisture.* That’s where consistent supplementation with evening primrose oil comes in. The omega-6 fatty acids support healthy hydration, smoother texture, sebum balance, and the structural integrity of skin cells.*

Evening primrose oil is used in pregnancy for cervical readiness, healthy blood pressure, and limited labor periods.* 

These uses should only be considered at the end of pregnancy and only after working with a qualified healthcare professional, as the timing and dose matter for safety. Evening primrose oil is not generally recommended for use during the first or second trimester unless specifically directed by a midwife, obstetrician, or other prenatal care provider.

Evening Primrose Oil may be taken at any time of day, with or without food, though taking it with a meal is helpful. Evening primrose oil can have relaxing effects, so it’s good to take before bed. Consistency matters more than timing for the long-term essential fatty acid benefits, so choose a time that fits your habits and stick with it.

Softgels have a protective gelatin shell that shields the oil from light, heat, and oxygen and they don’t need to be stored in the fridge.

Evening primrose oil supplements are good for  hormonal balance, menstrual comfort, and skin health, especially during periods of hormonal change or transition.*

It's also a strong fit for diets that are low in essential fatty acids, dry or compromised skin, or to support a healthy inflammatory response.* Whether you take it as a daily wellness staple or as targeted support during specific phases of your cycle, evening primrose oil is one of the most well-researched plant-based GLA sources available.

Yes, evening primrose oil supplements are beneficial for both men and women, even though it is often discussed in the context of women's health. Men can benefit from the same essential fatty acid, skin health, and inflammation-response support that GLA and linoleic acid provide to the body.* 

Men whose diets are low in healthy omega-6 sources, who are dealing with dry skin or skin barrier concerns, or who are looking to support a healthy inflammation response at the cellular level may all benefit from consistent supplementation.
