NSI Evening Primrose Oil with GLA -- 1300 mg - 300 Softgels

NSI Evening Primrose Oil with GLA -- 1300 mg - 300 Softgels

Supports decreased inflammation and helps your metabolism. Available in either 500 mg or 1,300 mg. How does Evening Primrose Oil work? Evening Primrose Oil is derived from the seeds of the North American Evening Primrose plant, a perennial found in North America. Many Native American tribes used the plant as a source of food. The evening primrose plant contains an essential fatty acid called gamma linolenic acid (GLA). The body does not produce essential fatty acids therefore this supplement must be ingested through food and supplementation. GLA is rich in PGE1 prostaglandins: these promote healthy skin and overall hormone balance and reduced inflammation in the body. NSI Evening Primrose Oil is better because it:. Is expeller-pressed, ensuring you a pure, hexane-free formula. Costs less than major brands, yet gives you with the maximum potency.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

Good oil, April 5, 2009
By Etsyban

"This oil is very good tasting so next time I'm going to buy the liquid. I can't see any need for it to be inside a thick gelatin capsule."

PUFFY EYES ARE GONE, February 20, 2009
By Eastwind from Orlando, FL

"Evening Primrose is the best stuff for puffy eyes. After years of trying products to reduce puffy eyes, I found this. I take 3/day internally. I also take an additional pill and use a straight pin to puncture the capsule and squirt in a small dish and spread all over my face and around my eyes after washing before bed. I had good results with this regiem when I took 2 caps during the day, but adding an additional one (internally) at bedtime was the thing that made this the perfect remedy. I then began adding a little to my daily facial moisturizer and eye cream (had some left over from the night before) and another full pill to my daily body moisurizer. The results have been fabulous. My mother always told me that Evening Primrose was good for your skin, but you know how us daughters are... Wish I had listened to her earlier. Beautiful skin to you!"

Thank goodness, February 3, 2009
By TaniaK from Fl

"I had been meaning to try this for years to help w/ severe pms, but didnt. What a dummy i was! It took about 3 months to get levels to where they needed to be with me to help with this. I would say it is nothing short of a miracle.- Also I discovered that it also enriches hair & nails- which it does. i just didnt question why my hair and nails looked great. now i know."

Very good, January 16, 2009
By veryluckygal from california

"I take this for acne and use this on my face as well. Since taking this, I have noticed a 20% reduction in sebum production. I also use this as a moisturizer at night. Evening Primrose Oil is an anti-inflammatory and will work to dilute oil, so it does not clog your pores. I wake up with very nice skin."

Reduces hot flashes, December 11, 2008
By StoneTramp from Santa Cruz, California

"I really experienced how well this works to reduce hot flashes when I went without them for a month while traveling. The flashes came back with a vengeance! Returned to taking two 1300 mg capsules a day, 1 am, 1 pm, and my hot flashes are reduced to occasional warm flushes. No side effects."

"I was losing quite a bit of hair and was panicing. My daughter did some research and found an article recommending primrose oil to stop hair loss. After taking the pills for several days I noticed that less hair was falling out. A couple of months ago I went out of town for several days and failed to take the primrose oil capsules. My hair was back to a dramatic loss once again. As long as I stay on my two capsules a day I have average hair loss. I don't know if this will work for men, but I highly recommend it for women who have hair loss problems."
