Evening primrose oil
Dosage recommendations for evening primrose oil
When used to treat atopic dermatitis, usually 320-480 mg of GPA are taken in small increments throughout the day. When taken to treat rheumatoid arthritis, usually about 360 mg-2.8 grams are taken daily in small increments.
Sometimes doses of up to 2 grams per day are taken when it is used to treat hypertriglyceridemia.
Doses of evening primrose oil, when taken medicinally, should always include some form of antioxidant, like vitamin E, to ensure the unsaturated fatty acids don’t oxidize.

I'm with you jjones444, we do add too much chemical stuff to our bodies. But I don't think we should say we have destroyed them, because the body is amazingly flexible and able to regenerate itself, if we just stop giving it such a hard time with toxins! I love this site because it has so much good information, and I add info whenever I can.

It's a great source of GLA, but I take a GLA supplement that also has Vitamin E in it. GLA is important for skin health and I have sensitive skin that breaks out often. I think this supplement helps me.

What is primrose oil used for? I truly love learning about natural remedies, vitamins and nutritional supplements. We have destroyed our bodies with all the processed food and chemicals we take into ourselves, and in my opinion, the last thing we need is drugs to add more foreign chemicals into the body. I prefer natural remedies instead.
