Evening primrose oil benefits heart health
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.

The product quality is exceptional. I take one capsule daily, resulting in significantly improved hair and skin conditions. I use karsula oil for facial massage as well. The packaging is convenient, and the dosage is just right. The oil reduces skin inflammation, enhances blood quality, and positively impacts heart disease and hormonal cycles, largely due to gamma-linolenic acid.
