What is Evening Primrose Oil? Evening Primrose Oil, a natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), is well known for modifying the inflammatory response and maintaining hormonal balance. This versatile oil comes from the tiny seeds of a wildflower, Oenothera biennis L., native to North America, and has been studied for its positive influence on prostaglandin synthesis. GLA may also support the healthy growth and maintenance of skin, hair, and nails.All of the evening primrose oil used in the Weil formula is cold pressed without the use of solvents. Weil Evening Primrose Oil is encapsulated exclusively in vegetarian, liquid-filled capsules."Evening primrose oil is a natural source of a fatty acid called GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). Very hard to come by in the diet, GLA is an effective anti-inflammatory agent with none of the side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs. It also promotes healthy growth of skin, hair, and nails. I frequently suggest evening primrose oil for skin conditions (including brittle nails and hair), arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and premenstrual syndrome. Do not expect immediate results; it takes six to eight weeks to see changes after adding GLA to the diet." Andrew Weil, M.D. Weil Nutritional Supplements are based on stringent scientific research.

5.0 out of 5 stars No need to be skeptical, March 30, 2008

After being diagnosed and undergoing surgery for endometriosis after years of painful periods, I thought I would finally find relief. No such luck. I was put on Seasonale to reduce the number of periods I had, but with each cycle, I still had cramps. I then read that evening primrose oil could possibly aid in regulating hormones, which may reduce painful cramping. How did I not hear about this before? But wouldn't you know, it worked for me! I had my first painful period at age 13, and had frequently excrutiating pain and bloating with every one since until I discoved evening primrose oil at 39. On the occasions that I do feel cramps coming on, they are easily averted with one or two over the counter ibuproferen capsules rather than the entire bottle that I took before. I especially like Dr. Weil's capsules because they do not contain gelatin, and I have not yet found another brand that can make this claim. Thank you, Dr. Weil!

My dear wife's OB/GYN physician recommended this product to her and what a blessing it has been for her (she was experiencing pre-menopause symptoms). Before using it, she was having insomnia, restlessness, and anxiety through the night. Now she sleeps very well, wakes up refreshed, and feels so much better. Talk to your doctor first. We trust Dr. Weil and this product works!

This is a great sleeping aid. You do not get the morning time drowsy feeling you get with typical OTC medicines. If you like Melatonin, you will like this better.
