Gallstone pain gone
I bought this specifically because it has the highest concentration on linoleic acid I could find. I suffered many years with gallstones and had the gallbladder taken out several years ago. That only helped some and when the pain increased a few months ago, I found a 2011 medical journal article that talked about omega 6 fatty acid's linolenic acid converting to another acid that would dissolve gallstones. I found out the only source is evening primrose oil. I went to the nearest Vitamin…

HOW OFTEN DO YOU TAKE THE PRIMROSE OIL??? AND WHAT DO U TAKE IT FOR??
ginny b.

  I took it every day to supposedly help with inflammation but I don't think it did much.

s h

  Hi Ginny B,

I was told by my Breast Specialist many years ago that Evening Primrose Oil was very high in GLA's (Gamma-Linoleic Acid) which is ultra-helpful for women's health, in particular the tissue of the Breast and Dermis (skin). Solgar's Eve Prim Oil is Chemical Solvent-free which is why I continue to purchase. I take one soft gel per day along with a Vit E capsule
at night before bedtime. Hope this helps!

  My Doctor suggested it for PMS along with Vitamin B6 at 100mg. You can take it every day or I take it the week before and during my cycle everyday. I use the 1300 MG, which is a bit more than the 1000 mg my Doc recommended, because I like Solgar Products.

Christine S

  I take it twice a day (2 per day) for the Omega 3 supplement and to help skin, hair, nails. It seems to help. I have autoimmune issues. Hope this helps.

What is the recommended dosage?
A shopper

  My Colon specialist prescribed this for me, I per day with meals,

the bottle reads " Suggested Use: as a dietary supplement for adults, take one(1) to two (2) softgels daily, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Michael K

  I've been taking evening primrose oil for about 15 years now; I started because an endocrinologist told me he had read a promising study that suggested it might be beneficial in preventing diabetic neuropathy. I have long since forgotten what he recommended as the right dosage, but I somehow arrived at 12 caps a day of 300 mg caps. I can't say for sure if that's the correct dosage...or even if it has prevented neuropathy, but I HAVEN'T had any neuropathy with my diabetes, so I will continue to take it'

Lawrence S

  I take 1 per day. The directions suggest 1 or 2 per day.

Rebecca B

  1300 mg once a day.

Is this Poly Unsaturated fat?
WILLIAM B

Best Answer:  I do not have the bottle on-hand. I suggest you look it up online. I found 2 answers, one said unsaturated, another said poly unsaturated. Take your pick.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are DHA and EPA?

    DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is a major structural and functional fat found in the brain and retina. EPA, or eicosapentaenoic acid, is a precursor to important cell signaling molecules and promotes cardiovascular and brain health. Both of these omega-3 fatty acids are naturally-occurring in cold water fish such as tuna and salmon.
