Menopausal Symptoms

Evening Primrose Oil is used to manage menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. GLA in EPO may help balance hormones.

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is used by some women to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats. The purported mechanism involves the gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content of EPO, an omega-6 fatty acid. GLA is believed to influence hormone regulation, potentially leading to a reduction in the frequency and intensity of menopausal symptoms. However, the exact mechanisms and efficacy are still under investigation.
