Barlean's Essential Woman
When you feel your best, you look your best. That’s why Barlean's Essential Woman supports beauty from within.* This formula blends omega-rich oils with rosemary extract for a feel-good effect.
One of the key features is flaxseed oil! Flax seeds are oh-so-tiny, but they pack a serious nutritional punch. They’re a source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which means they can be helpful for:
Healthy Digestion: These multi-tasking seeds contain lots of fiber, both soluble and insoluble to be precise. It helps keep digestion moving and grooving!*
Strong Heart: Flaxseeds contain Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Together, they promote heart health.*
Weight Management: It’s no secret that protein helps you feel full. And flaxseeds are jam-packed with protein, for a vegetarian-friendly way to help curb cravings and feel fuller, longer.*
But Flaxseeds’ true claim to fame is the number of lignans they contain—more than any other plant foods. What are lignans? They’re a gal’s best friend! These compounds are known for their estrogen-like activity and antioxidant qualities. That means they help support healthy hormonal balance and provide antioxidant support.* Definitely a nutrient you want in your daily routine!
But that’s not all that Essential Woman contains! It also features Evening Primrose Oil and Rosemary Extract. Evening primrose oil is often used in skincare products and for good reason! Topically, this oil helps support healthy skin, hair, and nails.* Taking primrose oil in supplement form is another way to enjoy the benefits, which include:
Strong Bones: Primrose oil contains large amounts of unsaturated fat. This healthy fat helps support healthy bones.*
Flexible Joints: Primrose oil’s healthy fatty acids also help with joint comfort*, so you don’t have to worry about those creaky knees!
Balanced Hormones: Primrose oil works with your body to support healthy hormonal balance during normal midlife changes.*
And rosemary extract? Rosemary smells and tastes delicious, and it’s also widely used for nutrient properties like:
Antioxidant Support: Rosemary provides antioxidant support and helps support immune function.* Yes, please!
Alert Brain: Rosemary helps you stay sharp! It promotes cognitive function and alertness.*
Good Mood: Rosemary helps support a balanced mood.*
Long, Strong Hair: Rosemary helps support healthy-looking hair and scalp,* so every day is a good hair day.

FAQs About Barlean's Essential Woman Softgels
Q: Does this help with hair, skin, and nails? A: Yes, that's a big reason people pick this one. A 3-softgel serving gives you 1200 mg ALA omega-3 from flaxseed oil, plus evening primrose oil and 15 mg soy isoflavones for skin and hormone-related support.
Q: How many softgels should I take per day? A: I'd start with 3 a day. The suggested use is 3 to 9 softgels daily, with or without food, and starting at the low end makes sense for most people.
Q: Why does this one use flaxseed oil and evening primrose oil together? A: Because they bring different fatty acids. Flax gives you 1200 mg ALA omega-3 per 3 softgels, and evening primrose adds omega-6 GLA, 19 mg per serving.
Q: I've heard soy isoflavones can affect hormones. Should I be careful with this one? A: Yes. If you're sensitive to soy or you've been told to avoid phytoestrogens, I'd check with your doctor first. This one gives 15 mg isoflavones per 3 softgels.
Q: Does it need to be taken with food? A: No. You can take it with or without food. That said, some people prefer taking oils with a meal if they tend to repeat on them.
Q: My doctor said to watch supplement interactions. Any concerns here? A: Yes, a couple. Since it has evening primrose oil and soy isoflavones, I'd be more careful if you take blood thinners, hormone-related medications, or anything for seizures. Your pharmacist is a good person to ask.
Q: Is this one vegetarian or vegan? A: No, it's not. The softgel is made with gelatin, so if you want a plant-based option, I'd look for a liquid or a vegan capsule instead.
