User Reviews for evening primrose oil

Blackmore evening primrose oil is the best product. I try other brands didn't work for me. I see differences with my hair, skin and hot flash is gone comes only once every 4 months if I am stress or so otherwise it's magic pill.

Using it only for three days but I already can feel the difference. NO hot flashes, no pain. I used it for my boys acnes and it really helped. Very good suppliment. I am glad I decided to give a try after spending years with doctors and no answers.

I started taking EPO 9 months ago when I started experiencing hot flashes. Within a few days the hot flashes were gone!! A wonderful help!! For the past several months this has continued and I am so much happier!! I did start to notice a weird sensitivity in the back of my mouth though about 4 months in to taking EPO. Thought it was my usual oral allergy symptoms, but it was different. I went and skipped a few days of EPO and the feeling went away. Went back on EPO and the sensitivity started up again. I was taking EPO 1x/day 1000mg. I have now started taking the EPO only 2-3x/week and no hot flashes and no sensitivity in my mouth. My daughter has found EPO to significantly help her with her PMS symptoms too! She too though found she had a slight allergic reaction. She would get itchy legs. We lessened her dose to 1x/week and all itchiness went away too. This little trial and error was worth the benefits EPO provides us both. I am 53 and she is 18.Read More Read Less

I started taking epo 6 months ago and my sexual experience different i get super extra wet when me and my boyfriend have sex i was thinking my period came down but its just super wet i take 4 1000mg capsules of the day

I'm 54 and my hot flashes were unbearable. My Mom told me that she used evening primrose oil when she went through menopause and it worked for her. I purchased 1000mg Jamison brand online. I take 1 pill per day with dinner. Omg! I almost started hormones because I was going out of my mind. One month on EPO and NO more flashes. I'm sleeping much better! Please try this before considering hormones.

I'm 49, no perimenopause symptoms as yet apart from severe irritability ( really bad ) I was getting annoyed for the smallest thing, which is not like me. I started with Evening Primrose oil and within 2 days I'm seriously not feeling angry. I've only had 1000mg each day for 2 days, surely it can't work that quick, well if it has its amazing, I'm certainly going to carry on the 1000mg a day.

I was experiencing hot flashes during the day and night. My Doctor prescribed a low dose of antidepressants but the side effects were awful. My flashes went away but I felt sick! I stopped them immediately and was ready to start estrogen. Then I discussed this with my Mom and she mentioned evening primrose oil had helped her. I ordered Jamison 1000 mg. After one week I do still have flashes but they are very mild. I can sleep a bit better and I feel a lot different! Thanks to my Mom I think my suffering may be over for now! Give it a try! Be sure to take with food...I take it at night with dinner.Read More Read Less

I have been using EPO for about 25years to help with sore breast for PMS and it helped I only took 1 pill 1000mg once to twice every month Now that I am going through menopause I take the same dosage to help with hot flashes and again it has helped so much in reducing the amount of times that I get a hot flash

I'm in my late 20's and have always had problems with irregular periods, but last year they suddenly just stopped all together. My GP did multiple tests to try and work out whether it was a hormonal issue or if I was anaemic, and all the tests came back fine and clear so we were stumped. My mum suggested I try EPO, and two weeks later I had my first period in almost a year. I had another one the next month, and am hoping for a third!

I'm 52 and have started having around 20 or more hot flashes a day. I read that evening primrose will prevent it. It has excellently. I might have 4 flashes now and I have only been taking the primrose for three days. It started working the first day. The hot flashes I do have are 80 % less severe also. This works really good and really fast. Also good for many other things. Definitely worth a try.

I started using this to help with hormone issues I was having. I’ve been using for about 2 months consistently and I’ve had great results. Not to mention my Skin is flawless! In the beginning I noticed a few new breakouts, but apparently this is a purge phase and after two weeks my skin was noticeably much smoother. I’m glad I gave it a try.

Had severe breast pain. A zinging, with aching and sharp pain. Tried ice packs, heating pads, and then I tried EP. Completely gave me relief.

Have only taken for 2 weeks, breast pain is gone, periods are getting lighter and less painful! Have been able to notice and control stress levels. I only take 1000mg 3times per wk.

In the past year, I have begun to insert one capsule vaginally for about three days every menstrual cycle in accordance with pain and dryness. I noticed that my breasts are actually more tender and fuller with using this as a treatment. Also I unfortunately frequently experience BV from using saliva as lubricant(I assume). This instantly clears up the symptoms of BV before they become an issue. In my eyes, an incredible herbal treatment.

I have lots of bloating, hot flashes, always hot during the day. I read great reviews and decided to buy and try it. So far itâ??s amazing and it cut my appetite as well.

I'm 74 & have been taking two 1000 mg softgels a day for over 20 yrs. If I go without for 1-2 weeks, the pain returns & it will take 10 days of 3 softgels a day for the pain to go away again. I recommend it to all anyone who complains of arthritis pain. Since Jamieson has now discontinued, I've been looking for another manufacturer & worried about the delay since I only have enough for 10 days.

I began taking evening Primrose shortly after a hysterectomy. I had round ligament pain from the surgery. After reading up several people suggested evening primrose. Pain Medicineâ??s did not take the pain away. So I tried evening primrose and within 10 minutes the pain disappeared. At that time I suffered from psoriasis. After being on evening primrose for several months I noticed that all symptoms of psoriasis had disappeared. I assumed it was from the evening primrose, but wasnâ??t sure. For a short time I stopped taking a P. After a month or so I noticed all my psoriasis symptoms returned. So I returned to taking the supplement. Again, all symptoms of psoriasis disappeared. So I see that studies do not always support this, but in my case it was extremely effective.Read More Read Less

This is not an "ad" for EFA Gold. It is only my personal,unpaid experience. I know no one who works or is involved with Nature's Way--just a little disclaimer. I have taken Nature's Way EfaGold Evening Primrose Oil for about 20 years. (I take 4-1300mg capsules 6 days a week.) THIS IS THE ONLY BRAND I TAKE.(I took many other brands but this is the ONLY one that improved my health.) I was diagnosed by two physicians with Sjogren's Syndrome AND they also kept telling me I most likely had multiple sclerosis (and chronic fatigue syndrome. I went from doctor to doctor for several years trying to find out what was wrong.) I was using OTC lubricating drops in my eyes all day and and an OTC goopy, oily lubricant at night(didn't help much). The Rx Restasis caused my eyes to get horribly red, painful and scratchy and I stopped it after a few days. Now I use OTC drops a few times a week. Because of the constant dry eyes and horrible body aches, I resigned work years ago and continued the EFAGold EPO. I do not have anywhere near the degree of symptoms I had 20 years ago. I occasionally have some fatigue at times now, can get achy when it is stormy and cold, but I'm 68!! Overall, I have improved beyond IMMENSELY. I know I would be wheelchair or bed bound by now if not for EFA Gold EPO. There's just no other explanation for my huge improvement--these autoimmune diseases don't just magically go away.

Only thing that has helped with mood related symptoms around PMS. Iâ??m surprised it is dismissed for this purpose in the information on webmd. I would recommend it to anyone struggling with Pms as there seem to be so few treatments that are helpful on the market.

I started taking these to ease the burning pain in my breasts from peri-menopause. I have discovered that xanthelasmata is a side effect of these tablets. The xanthelasmata only appeared since I began taking EP Oil.
