User Reviews for evening primrose oil

1300 mg once daily tremendously helped with my PMS symptoms. Especially with my fibrocystic breast issues & tenderness.

Surprising added treatment for my hot flashes -works better than black cohosh -take 2 to 3,000 mg a day.

surprisingly effective for reducing breast nodules

I'm 43 years old started getting two periods monthly and PMS was affecting me alot so my Dr told me to take evening primrose. I been talking it for 6 months, I begun feeling normal 3 months after plus no so much fatigue better periods less pain. I'm happy.

For a yeast infection. Break open a capsule and apply to infected external area. Relieves itching and burning

im not sure if this is worth for me because i take 1000mg(2 gel of 500mg)of evening primrose gel but i hindi pa rin aqnaglelabor eh due date q na sa october 14..

Not a huge herbal believer, but was very impressed with the marked difference in my PMS symptoms. I was desperate for a treatment of my ovarian cysts, and tried this as a shot in the dark. I have not had any cysts since taking this as a supplement, which was pretty impressive after nearly a year of unbearable cyst symptoms. Definitely give this a try for either issue.

ALL I CAN SAY IS INCREDIBLE! NEVER DID I THINK IT COULD TAKE AWAY MY SEVERE HOT FLASHES BUT IT TRULY DID! I HAVE NOT HAD A GOOD NIGHTS REST IN A LONG TIME. THE FIRST DAY I TRIED THIS STUFF IT WORKED! I TAKE TWO CAPSULES DURING THE DAY AND TWO CASULES IN THE EVENING. EACH CAPSULE IS 1000MG. ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS AND SUFFERING FROM HOT FLASHES NEEDS TO TRY IT. IT WAS MY LIFESAVER!

I use it in the morning and take the minimum amount mentioned on the bottle. It helped me ease my PMS a lot. Both me and my husband are sure it's working for me.

Within 5weeks I was pain free with my back inflammation as were my breasts from caffeine induced pain.

Works for the pain of Osteoarthritis and for the pain of Fibro.

I wish I had found this before having my uterus removed. I continue to have the same PMS symptoms with my cycle and the breast pain/swelling, bloating and water retention increased to an all time high. This is not an wonder pill that works all by itself. I recommend each person works with a qualified natural therapist to do a work up of hormones and endocrine system as well as nutritional deficiencies and sensitivities. I follow an organic diet free of allergens and only take primrose oil on day 14-28 of my cycle (it took time to figure out since I don't have one now) as it helps to boost progesterone. I also take daily vitamins, C, D3/K2/A, B-complex with extra B6, magnesium and natural thyroid. I also took measures in my home and personal products to remove any hormone and endocrine system disruptors that cause estrogen dominance symptoms. Look up Progestelle and Womens Voices for the Earth for help. Any Western GYN who will tell you that primrose oil causes more problems is due to the fact that they have ZERO training or expertise in nutrition and supplementation. They are not trained for wellness/health or an ounce of nutritional knowledge, they are trained to attack symptoms of illness with synthetic pharmaceuticals and surgery. Remember it is a business and they will only use modalities that make money. I should know, I have been a healthcare professional for 20 years and have extended training to the natural way because it is the only way out of this mess. Your body does not recognize synthetic substances with chemicals and additives in pharmaceuticals. At best they just mask the symptoms while your body is now required to deal with another foreign substance when it is already being blasted with chemicals throughout our environment.Read More Read Less

I do not feel this product helps the hot flashes and night sweats at all, Dr told me to take after so much sweating I almost passed out at work, the body is reacting to loss of hormones, there isn't to much you can do about it, keep hydrated, some women are worse than others, considering HRT!

Started Evening primrose after Dr. recommended it for severe fluid filled painful cysts in breasts that needed regular aspiration.Amazed with the results for reducing fluid in breasts and pain assoc. Truly the lifesaver was the pain relief for my joints-elbows, fingers, knees, so I have normal mobility again! No more hot flashes at night any more also a huge benefit!

After 12 years on hormone treatments, I finally decided to go on natural over the counter treatments. I tried various kinds like black cohosh and everything with the name "for menopausal symptoms". Nothing helped, so much so that I was considering to go back on hormone therapy. But then my gynaecologist suggested I try Primrose Oil. I took the Evening Primrose Oil PRAYERFULLY, 2 capsules in the morning and it helped me from day 1! I slept like a baby after many weeks of suffering hot flushes, nite sweats, sore breasts, mood swings and other symptons. Read More Read Less

saved my life. Been taking it since 1988.

I have suffered from Diabetic Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia and Cervical & Lumbar Degenrative Arthritis,Insomnia, Anxiety and Menopause for the last 6yrs, which I have been treated with MANY prescription drugs and undergone treatment at pain clinic. All of which has been no help in getting rid of the pain I suffer from daily. Being desperate to find myself some help during some internet research I stumbled across info and user reviews about EPO helping with nerve pain so I decided to give it a try, as I had nothing to lose. I have now been on an EPO treatment plan for two weeks taking 2(1,000 mg)in the AM and 3 (1,000 mg) PM. My words for this pill is "MIRACLE." My neuropathy pain in my feet and hands is almost gone, I am able to sleep, feel my energy level increasing and have been able to take step downs of weaning myself off the prescription medications I have been taking that came along with terrible side effects. I recommend this product to anyone that suffers from the health problems I have listed. For the first time in years I feel I am beginning to finally get my life back I once I had before the onset of all my health problems started. I'm so mesmerized about the results I'm seeing for myself that I want to share my news with anyone who is suffering as I was.Read More Read Less

I have been back and forth with my Dr. about a statin due to my elevated cholesterol. I'd seen research on EPO and cholesterol and decided to try it. I was scattered in my dosing, but a week before my cholestrol check, I took two of the smaller gel caps regularly and my cholesterol was down almost 25 POINTS! Taking it was the only thing I'd done differently, so I am pretty sure it was the EPO.
