According to the University of California at Berkeley, Wellness newsletter… Evening primrose, a small yellow wildflower (Oenothera biennis), has been used medicinally for centuries. The oil, pressed from the seed, is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid (EFA). "Essential" means that we have to consume the nutrient because the body does not produce it. Use Evening Primrose Oil for heart health These polyunsaturated fats are good fats, unlike the saturated fats that contribute to heart disease. Evening Primrose Oil also supplies another fatty acid, known as gamma-linolenic acid, GLA (not to be confused with alpha-linolenic acid, which is one of the omega-3 fatty acids). Your body synthesizes GLA from linoleic acid and converts it to hormone-like chemicals important in processes such as controlling inflammation, clotting the blood, and synthesizing cholesterol. However, some diseases, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and diabetes, decrease the ability to convert linoleic acid into GLA. Gamma linolenic acid has been shown to help restore the youthfulness of skin and hair, as well as help improve general well-being.
