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.

Helps with my psoriasis! I've been taking these for about three weeks after a friend recommended them for psoriasis. I have severe cracking on my foot, making it hard to walk. After trying numerous products without success, this has done wonders! Now, my skin is smoother than ever, and I've noticed a huge improvement. Even my boyfriend was surprised at how good my foot looks now!

I'm on strict over-the-counter medications for my psoriasis and Sjögren's syndrome. Evening Primrose Oil, 500 mg, has made my skin remarkably soft. I never thought I'd restore my skin to its proper condition. My grandmother used it for years and always urged me to try it. I'm finally experiencing the benefits as my skin appearance improves significantly.
