Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), also known as evening primrose or evening star, is a plant recognisable by its distinctive yellow flowers, which mainly open in the evening.
It originates from North America, where it was once used by Native Americans for various purposes. It soon spread to Europe, where different parts of this valuable plant were utilised – the young leaves and roots were even used in the diet – but today it is its tiny seeds that attract the most attention.
Evening primrose oil is extracted from these seeds and, thanks to its distinctive composition, has long been a component of high-quality dietary supplements.
Softgels from the Purely Nutrition brand contain evening primrose oil, which boasts a naturally high content of unsaturated fatty acids – specifically, it contains gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6). A daily dose contains as much as 1,000 mg of evening primrose oil with 9 per cent gamma-linolenic acid.
It is important to ensure an adequate intake of omega-6 fatty acids through your diet at all times. Evening primrose oil is an excellent source, which is why it is a favourite among those who wish to provide their bodies with additional support, as well as women of all ages – including those in later life and women who like to pay closer attention to their wellbeing during their menstrual cycle.
Purely Nutrition brand evening primrose oil even contains vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
With its antioxidant properties, it helps maintain the stability and quality of the evening primrose oil in the capsules. The softgels make them easier to swallow, making daily use more pleasant.
The product is a ditary supplement.
Recommended daily dose: 2 softgels. Take the whole capsules during a meal, with a sufficient amount of liquid. In case of increased need, you can raise the daily dose to a maximum of 6 capsules.
