Rich in GLA, supports hormonal balance, skin health, and inflammation
We rank Evening Primrose Oil by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Evening Primrose Oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. It is highly valued for being rich in GLA, which is short for gamma linolenic acid, a type of omega 6 fatty acid that the body cannot make on its own.
This supplement is primarily used to support the following:
The oil is produced by harvesting the seeds of the plant and using a process called cold pressing. This involves squeezing the seeds using a mechanical press without applying heat, which ensures the delicate fatty acids are not damaged. The resulting liquid is then filtered and put into softgel capsules for easy consumption.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the seeds must be specifically harvested and processed using cold pressing methods rather than cheaper chemical solvents, which adds to the production cost.
