Natures Aid Evening Primrose Oil 1000 mg, Cold Pressed
Natures Aid Evening Primrose Oil 1000 mg, Cold Pressed, Omega-6 GLA, 180 Softgel Capsules
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), is extracted from the seeds of Oneothera biennis, a plant which was introduced into Europe in the seventeenth-century and rapidly became known as ‘King’s Cure All’, for its perceived medicinal properties.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fats which the human body needs to maintain good health.
They can be divided into two categories: Omega-3 EFA’s and Omega-6 EFA’s (such as the GLA provided in Evening Primrose Oil).
EFA’s need to be supplied in the diet – or by supplementation – as the body cannot manufacture them.
Natures Aid E.P.O capsules contain pure, cold-pressed evening primrose oil.
Cold-pressing preserves all the delicate, beneficial compounds of the oil.
Natures Aid E.P.O capsules are GM free and non-irradiated.

I’m satisfied with them so far – nothing negative to report at this early stage of taking them. Would buy agai
I’ve been suffering with night sweats, unbearable breast pain, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, and terrible cramps for approximately a year. I visited my GP about most of the above individually. I was referred for a mammogram to investigate breast pain, which was negative (thank goodness) but no explanation for the pain. I was prescribed antidepressants for the anxiety. This all had a huge impact on relationships and my work.
My cycle then reduced to 25 days. I asked my GP if I was likely to be perimenopausal. She said it was not likely and that cycle changes can occur for other reasons. However, I decided to do some research and found a lot of women online experiencing exactly the same symptoms I’ve listed above.
From recommendations online I started taking Menopace and evening primrose oil. Night sweats, breast pain, brain fog and anxiety rapidly reduced within the first month but I still had excruciating period pains. As someone who never experienced period pains in my ‘youth’ it was unbearably. I’d literally have to lie down once they started as I felt like I was going to pass out. Pain killers were not much use. I started taking red clover tablets for the pain 3 weeks ago following reading another ladies review on here. I’m pleased to say the cramps in the week prior to my period this month were 90% less. The cramps I had at the start and during my period was more ‘normal’ and manageable with pain relief.
Thank you to all the women that have left reviews before me. I hope this review helps someone else in the future.
This combination has worked wonders for me. But we are all different. Get help and don’t stuffer in silence. Perimenopause can be life changing.
I have had this supliment before, nothing wrong with the product itself, just that the ones without vit E have an effect on my skin that is not very good
I’ve taken EPO for about 25years, initially to ease PMS symptoms and my permanently painful breasts. I remember it helped the PMS quite quickly, but didn’t do much for the painful breasts. Taking it daily for all these years has just become part of my daily routine and I can report that I sailed through the menopause without a single symptom (with the exception of a little weight gain). Another benefit is that at age 56, I have smooth wrinkle free skin, thick glossy hair and no ailments or aches and pains. I count my blessings each day, but I think the EPO has contributed greatly to my good health, especially as my diet is, and always has been, pretty poor . Oh, and if any ladies find that EPO doesn’t give them enough relief of painful breasts, I found that two 12.5mg Iodine pills per day completely cured me within 2 weeks. They are expensive, but for me, they were worth every penny 🙂
As far as the night sweats and hot flushes go, I haven’t noticed a difference yet but its still early days I guess. HOWEVER, it has made a huge difference to my facial hair!!! Have been hiding this problem for about 10 years, secretly spending hours with a magnifying mirror and tweezers, pulling thick dark hairs out of my chin. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed that the ‘haze’ of long fine fair hairs has disappeared altogether and the dark hairs have been reduced by about 80% so far. I’m amazed and delighted. The constant plucking also gave me spots and ingrowns and this situation is vastly improved too.
I don’t know if this merely a coincidence and this ‘hair loss’ was going to happen anyway, but I doubt it. I’m not taking any chances – I’ll be taking this stuff till the end of my days. I just hope that the results continue and I’m not just going through a good phase.
We are all different and I don’t suppose this will work for everyone, but I hope this review may help somebody else. I know how miserable and embarrasing it is to have to constantly hide a hairy chin.
