Evening primrose oil is an oil from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. It naturally contains gamma-linolenic acid, also known as GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid commonly used in skin, inflammation and women’s health support formulas.

Eagle Clinical Evening Primrose Oil is designed to support skin health, skin integrity, inflammation relief and general health and wellbeing. It provides evening primrose oil 1 g per capsule, equivalent to GLA 100 mg.

GLA stands for gamma-linolenic acid. It is an omega-6 fatty acid found in evening primrose oil. GLA is commonly used in formulas focused on skin health, inflammatory balance and women’s health support.

Evening primrose oil provides GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid, while fish oil provides omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. They are different fatty acid supplements and are not used for exactly the same purpose.

Follow the product label. Eagle Clinical Evening Primrose Oil directions state adults take 3 capsules daily with food. Taking oil-based supplements with food may also support tolerance.

Use caution when combining fatty acid products. Evening primrose oil, fish oil, krill oil, omega blends, skin formulas and women’s health formulas may overlap. Check the full ingredient panels before combining products unnecessarily.

Evening primrose oil is generally well tolerated by many adults, but some people may notice stomach discomfort, nausea, loose stools, headache or other digestive changes. If symptoms are severe, persistent or unusual, stop use and seek professional advice.

Use caution if you take medication, especially blood-thinning medicines, antiplatelet medicines, blood pressure medicines, seizure-related medicines, mental health medicines or regular prescribed treatment. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are unsure.

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, speak with your doctor, midwife, pharmacist or qualified health professional before using evening primrose oil. Supplement suitability during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be personalised.
