Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a plant of North American origin with distinctive yellow flowers, which has gradually spread to Europe. Its flowers are known to open only at night and early in the morning – hence it is also known by many as evening star or evening star.
The tiny seeds of evening primrose, from which evening primrose oil is extracted, are particularly valuable. Various parts of the plant have traditionally been used by Native Americans, and today the oil derived from its seeds is well known in both dietary supplements and cosmetics.
The uniqueness of evening primrose oil lies in its characteristic composition of unsaturated fatty acids. It is important to ensure an adequate intake of omega-6 fatty acids through diet – evening primrose oil represents a unique plant source.
Among the fatty acids in evening primrose oil, we find gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an unsaturated fatty acid from the omega-6 group. The product contains evening primrose oil with 9% GLA, which means that the daily dose provides as much as 90 mg of this fatty acid.
The formula is complemented by vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. With its antioxidant properties, it helps maintain the stability and quality of the oil in the capsules.
Evening primrose oil is a popular choice for daily dietary supplementation. It is especially well-known among women who pay even more attention to their well-being during the menstrual cycle, as well as women in the later stages of life.

Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, while also improving the stability of the product and protecting the oil in the capsule from oxidation (rancidity).
