What is Evening Primrose Oil?
Evening primrose is a plant native to North and South America. It also grows throughout Europe and parts of Asia. It has yellow flowers which open at sunset and close during the day. The oil from the seeds of the evening primrose is used to make medicine. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), is the active ingredient in Evening Primrose Oil and can be found in small amounts in a variety of food sources. However, it is most concentrated in plant oils such as Evening Primrose Oil and borage oil.
Some people take Evening Primrose Oil by mouth (softgels and gummies) for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), asthma, diabetes, nerve damage related to diabetes, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity. Evening Primrose Oil is also taken by mouth for stomach and intestinal disorders including ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and peptic ulcer disease. The fatty acids found in Evening Primrose Oil have been thought to help some women's breast pain caused by premenstrual symptoms and other conditions. Fatty acids also seem to help decrease inflammation related to conditions such as arthritis and eczema.
What are the side effects of Evening Primrose Oil?
When taken by mouth, some side effects you may experience include upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, and headache.
Evening Primrose Oil, in some cases, may raise the risk of bleeding among people who take anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications. It may also raise the risk of seizures as well as serious nausea and vomiting for people taking a class of drugs known as phenothiazines.
These are not all the side effects of Evening Primrose Oil. Depending on your medical condition and intended use, you should consult with your healthcare provider for medical advice before using Evening Primrose Oil.
