What’s inside this formula?
Solgar’s Evening Primrose Oil — 500 mg is listed here in the evening primrose oil collection. This article looks at the selected 90 softgels; one-softgel serving pack, then puts its ingredients into context.
Each softgel lists 500 mg evening primrose seed oil providing 365 mg linoleic acid and 45 mg gamma-linolenic acid. The shell contains gelatin.
Check the original label ↗Evening primrose oil supplies fatty acids, including gamma-linolenic acid, or GLA. It is commonly marketed for skin and menstrual or menopause-related symptoms. Knowing its fatty-acid composition helps identify the product, but that information does not establish symptom relief; clinical studies have not supported many of the familiar claims.
The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
Where might it be useful?
A source of GLA
The oil supplies the omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid; check its amount separately from total oil.
A useful evidence check
Research allows common claims to be evaluated, even where it has not established a dependable benefit.
What the research can — and cannot — tell us
NCCIH finds insufficient evidence to support evening primrose oil for any health condition. It has not shown useful benefit for eczema, and breast-pain results are not better than placebo. Claims about menopause, PMS or labour should not be presented as proven outcomes for the ingredient or this product.
What deserves your attention?
The oil amount is not the GLA amount. The manufacturer calls for clinician review with blood thinners, planned medical or surgical procedures, pregnancy, nursing or a medical condition. Confirm the photographed 90-count pack.
Suitability comes before strength
Stomach pain, nausea and diarrhoea can occur. Pregnancy and labour-related use require professional guidance, and long-term safety is uncertain. Review medicines and persistent breast, skin or menstrual symptoms with a clinician.
