More About Evening Primrose Oil Softgel (1000mg)
Traditionally, Native Americans used EPO to help treat bruises, hemorrhoids, sore throats, and a variety of digestive problems. Today EPO is a common remedy for:
- Acne
- Eczema
- Breast pain
- Symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Symptoms of neuropathy symptoms, such as numbness, tingling and weakness.
Some people also take EPO to improve heart health and menopausal symptoms. But more research is needed before recommending EPO for those conditions. EPO is generally safe. But some users experience mild side effects such as an upset stomach or a headache. If these symptoms occur, stop taking EPO and they should resolve naturally. EPO is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
