Evening Primrose Oil

for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

GLA-rich evening primrose oil capsules used by some women to reduce hot flush frequency and night sweat severity during menopause.

How it works

GLA is a precursor to prostaglandin E1, which may modulate hypothalamic thermoregulation. Direct evidence is limited and effects may be indirect.

What to watch for

Evidence is specifically for breast tenderness not other PMS symptoms. Generally well tolerated.
