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.

I have been using it for two weeks, taking one capsule daily. It has significantly lightened my psoriasis plaques, and my skin has stopped peeling, feeling much more moisturised. Despite some negative reviews, I am truly pleased with the results!

The benefits of evening primrose oil include lowering inflammation and cholesterol. I use it as part of my psoriasis therapy, and it moisturises my skin effectively, especially during the dry heating season.
