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.

Symptom alleviation
I started taking this for my joint pain, psoriasis, and PMS relief. While I hoped it would lessen pain, I realise it should be combined with other treatments for effectiveness. It does have positive effects on my skin and nails.

Restores cycle

I began taking evening primrose oil to adjust my disrupted menstrual cycle. Although it restored my cycle within a month, I also learned about its benefits for psoriasis. Following the Pegano Diet, I combine it with omega-3 and vitamin D3 for better results. While the improvements take time, I've noticed a positive change in my health.
