What is Solgar® Evening Primrose Oil Softgel?

Evening Primrose Oil (Teunisbloem) is a dietary supplement rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid. This fatty acid is naturally found in evening primrose seeds and may help reduce sensitivity or discomfort in the breasts during menopause.*

The primary active ingredient is GLA, which may help with:

Reducing sensitivity or discomfort in the breasts*
Supporting normal skin health*
Maintaining a stable mood*

You may notice initial effects within a few weeks, but maximum results are typically achieved after three months. The effectiveness may vary between individuals. Leading a healthy lifestyle supports your body in absorbing nutrients, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of supplements.
