In our exploration of treatment options for mastalgia, we focused on the effectiveness of evening primrose oil combined with vitamin E. Conducted at King George's Medical University, the study assessed 106 female patients suffering from breast pain.
We measured psychological status using the DASS-42 scale and pain using a visual analog scale. While topical NSAIDs showed a strong response rate, evening primrose oil and vitamin E had a notable effect in 6.98% of patients.
Overall, both treatments proved valuable, though we found no correlation between psychological conditions and pain severity.

Decreased anxiety

Excellent! This Evening Primrose Oil has been a lovely discovery this summer. I've noticed a decrease in anxiety and mood swings during PMS, a relief given their usual presence. I take one capsule in the morning with vitamin D and another couple with magnesium in the evening. The discomfort during critical days has softened, and I truly feel more balanced and feminine. I will definitely continue using this product in the coming months. Thank you, IHerb, you are fantastic!

Balances mood swings

WOW! This product is fast-acting and highly potent. Recommended by a natural health group member, I suffer from premenstrual mood swings and hormonal imbalances. After trying it, I felt extremely relaxed. When anxiety spiked prior to my menses, I took it again and achieved a balanced feeling. The product works like an anti-anxiety drug and I'm forever grateful for its effect on my premenstrual mood swings and anxiety.

Felt calmer
I wish I had discovered Evening Primrose Oil sooner! Before taking it, I suffered from severe PMS-related depression. Now, the anxiety associated with my PMS is nearly gone, and I feel much calmer. I take 8000mg two weeks before my period. The effects build up, and I notice a difference shortly after taking it. My skin and hair also appear healthier and more vibrant.
