Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What makes Evening Primrose Oil different from Fish Oil?

While both are "healthy fats," they contain different types of essential fatty acids. Fish Oil provides Omega-3s (EPA and DHA), which are primarily used for heart health and systemic inflammation. Evening Primrose Oil provides Omega-6s, specifically Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is unique because it may support hormonal balance and skin moisture.*

2. Can men take Evening Primrose Oil?

Yes. While it is heavily marketed for women’s hormonal health, men can benefit from the GLA content as well.

3. Should I take it on an empty stomach or with food?

It is highly recommended to take NOW EPO with a meal.
