WHAT IS EVENING PRIMROSE OIL?

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is extracted from the seeds of

the Onagraceae family of plants which are native to North

and South America. In most species the flowers are yellow

and open in the evening hence the name "Evening Primrose Oil".

Its health benefits have been known for centuries. The roots have

a peppery flavour and can be eaten like a vegetable. The shoots

can be eaten as a salad. The whole plant has been used to treat

various medical conditions. It is believed to provide a wide range

of healing powers. The mature seeds contain approximately

7-10% gamma-linolenic acid, a rare essential fatty acid.

Evening primrose oil also supplies another fatty acid, known as

-linolenic acid (GLA), which is an Omega 6 essential fatty acid.

These polyunsaturated fats are good fats, unlike the saturated

fats that contribute to heart disease.
