We examined how dietary supplements, specifically evening primrose oil (EPO), impact heart health in older rats under stress. Rats that received EPO showed a notable reduction in severe ventricular fibrillation compared to those fed sunflower seed oil without gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
Interestingly, while borage oil, which contains more GLA, didn't provide any extra benefits, it indicates that GLA plays a crucial role. However, the findings primarily apply to aged rats, so further studies are necessary to determine the overall effectiveness in heart disease management in different populations.

Improved heart function

After taking one capsule an hour before bedtime for two months, I noticed remarkable changes. My sleep improved significantly, and my heart no longer felt as if it was racing at night. The symptoms of menopause have lessened considerably. There’s been no discomfort at all, which is a significant plus. I highly recommend this product!

Effective for women

Evening primrose is an excellent product for women. I suffered from PMS and mood swings, but after taking it, I can truly say it was remarkably effective. It contains Omega 3 or fish oil and caused no side effects. Its benefits for heart health and cholesterol are a plus. I'll definitely buy it again.

Heart support

I advocate for evening primrose and believe it is essential for all women. It greatly enhances skin and hair quality while mitigating inflammation and supporting heart health. I took it during my late pregnancy stages, and it aided muscle elasticity remarkably, which I deeply appreciate. It tastes like omega, and the results have been beneficial.

Aids childbirth preparation

For my first birth, I was torn badly, but for the second, I prepared differently. After research, I decided to try evening primrose oil from 34 weeks pregnant. I started with one capsule and increased it every two weeks. I found it helped to open the cervix and made for an easier delivery, preventing significant tearing. I was delighted with the oil’s effects! Good luck to those expecting!

The best quality at a reasonable price! With natural ingredients and suitable from age 16, it has no fishy aftertaste. It significantly strengthens heart vessels and improves hair, nails, and skin.

Reduced cholesterol effectively
The quality is superb! Healthy ingredients and a pleasant taste! The doctor determines the dosage. It effectively supports the heart, lowers cholesterol, nourishes hair, and reduces inflammation. I personally used it before giving birth.
