A supplement that reduces cramps and improves skin suppleness!? If you’re looking for the perfect PMS-fighting product, Barlean’s Evening Primrose Oil is the one for you! Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), this supplement contains the healing properties you’ve been searching for.
Evening primrose oil (EPO) is extracted from seeds of the North American plant of the same name. Utilized both orally and topically, bruises and sore throats are among the many ailments it has been known to support. EPO has healing properties that come from a fatty acid found within the oil. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid that is responsible for many of EPO’s healing benefits, such as:
- Reducing skin redness*
- Increasing skin moisture*
- Support for occasional depression and irritability*
- Lessening breast pain*
- Helping control symptoms of PMS*
- Stimulating nerve function*

Q: Is this product safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? A: Barlean's advises you to consult a physician before use if you are pregnant or nursing. Evidence on pregnancy and breastfeeding safety is not conclusive, so it’s always best to use only with your OB/GYN or qualified provider’s guidance.
