Product Overview
Solgar Evening Primrose Oil 1300mg Softgel Capsules provide a high-potency source of evening primrose oil, a cold-pressed oil derived from the seeds of Oenothera biennis. Evening primrose oil is prized for its exceptional content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that the body converts into anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Unlike linoleic acid (LA), which is abundant in many vegetable oils, GLA is found in relatively few dietary sources, making supplementation a practical approach to increasing intake. Each softgel delivers 1300mg of evening primrose oil, which includes a meaningful amount of GLA alongside linoleic acid. GLA is associated with support for skin hydration and elasticity, making evening primrose oil a popular supplement for skin health, particularly in conditions involving dry or sensitive skin. It is also widely used by women to support hormonal balance, alleviate symptoms associated with pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), and ease the discomfort of menopausal transitions. The cold-pressed oil is encapsulated in a softgel for freshness and easy digestion.

## How to Use
For adults, take one softgel capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking evening primrose oil with a meal containing dietary fat may further support absorption of its fatty acid content. Consistent daily use over a period of several weeks is typically recommended to observe noticeable benefits, particularly for skin and hormonal support. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
