We examined the effects of Efamol Marine, a blend of evening primrose oil and fish oil, on patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Over nine months, 38 participants were divided into two groups: one received Efamol Marine and the other a placebo.
Despite the initial laboratory indication of some anti-inflammatory effects, such as changes in specific serum markers, we found no significant improvements in skin or joint symptoms in clinical assessments. The need for NSAIDs remained unchanged, suggesting that larger doses might be necessary for noticeable benefits.

Evening primrose oil is crucial for women's hormonal health, comprising omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic and gamma-linolenic acid. It assists with PMS and menopause symptoms and helps treat skin conditions, including psoriasis. The oil reduces inflammation, improves skin functioning, and supports hormonal balance. I highly recommend it for overall health benefits.

Would buy again. Great provider. This product is effective for psoriasis, eczema, and other skin issues. My elbows used to feel dry and white, but that is no longer the case. Moreover, the excessive oil on my face has diminished. I’m very pleased with this affordable supplement.
