Vital HS Evening Primrose Oil Caps 60

Vital Evening Primrose Oil is a classic women's supplement and a natural source of GLA. It is most often used for cyclical breast tenderness, premenstrual mood changes and bloating, and it is also taken for dry, itchy or eczema-prone skin. It works cumulatively, so take it daily for at least two to three cycles. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fat that the body converts into prostaglandin E1, a signalling molecule involved in skin barrier function and in the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle.

If the week before your period is predictable for all the wrong reasons, you do not have to simply put up with it. Women who experience breast tenderness, mood changes or dry, reactive skin in the second half of their cycle often choose GLA because the body's own conversion of dietary fats into GLA can be slow.
