Evening primrose oil mitigates liver damage
We investigated how evening primrose oil, enhanced with gamma-linolenic acid and D/L-alpha tocopherol, could protect against liver damage in a rat model. In this study, male rats were divided into four groups, including a control and treatment group.
We found that the evening primrose oil group showed improvements in liver health compared to those exposed to carbon tetrachloride, a harmful substance. While liver enzymes returned to safer levels and tissue damage was reduced, the oil’s effectiveness emphasizes its potential benefits for supporting liver health.

No significant effect on survival
We investigated the effects of evening primrose oil, which contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), on primary liver cancer in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Unfortunately, we found that while there was no significant impact on survival time or liver size, the treatment did show a beneficial effect on liver function as indicated by improvements in Gamma Glutamyl transferase values. Importantly, participants experienced no side effects, suggesting it could be a safe option, though the large tumors and low doses used might explain the limited effects on survival.

Improved menstrual cycle
Indispensable for women's health, I use it in the complex treatment of endometriosis at a dosage of 1300 mg twice a day. Primrose contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which suppresses inflammatory and autoimmune processes. What have I noticed? Critical days have become quite regular, without pain or spasms. Hormones are balanced, with no bias towards oestrogen. It is suitable for women with painful menstrual cycles and to prevent oestrogen-dependent diseases. It reduces unpleasant symptoms, such as hot flashes, during the climacteric period.

Balanced hormones
Magic primrose for female beauty! I purchased this to improve hormonal levels, which helped to alleviate premenstrual symptoms. It moisturises the skin effectively. It contains essential linoleic and linolenic acids found in evening primrose seeds. This oil has anti-inflammatory properties, helps strengthen immunity, and normalises hormonal balance. It has a positive impact on the genitourinary system, eases menopause symptoms, and reduces menstrual irregularities.

Enhanced reproductive health
Evening primrose oil offers numerous benefits for women, especially in normalising hormonal balance and alleviating PMS symptoms. While I sought help for fibrocystic issues and reproductive pain, this supplement has also proven useful for male hormonal disorders. It supports liver cleansing and enhances overall health. Regular use can help mitigate the risk of strokes and heart attacks and improve skin health significantly.
