User Reviews for evening primrose oil

I suffered with sore breasts all through my twenties to the point where I had to sleep with a bra on just to keep them from moving/hurting while I slept. This was in the nineties. I did research and started taking evening primrose. Within 3 days of being on the supplement ALL PAIN STOPPED. I suffered for years and doctors never helped. I have lost count of the number of women who I've helped by sharing my story. They all experienced the same results taking this supplement.

I have been struggling with dry eyes and mouth for decades. Often I'd wake up parched. According to popular belief, omega-3 from fish oil is the best natural remedy for dry eyes - which I took with evening primrose oil (EPO). But I kept deteriorating so I quit EPO, which aggravated all dryness symptoms. So I turned it around and quit fish oil and reintroduced EPO (1000 mg AM and PM). To my amazement, I wake up with moister mouth & eyes! Just for reference, I'm 56 and have been in menopause for almost... 7 years. Read More Read Less

Makes my mornings strong and stress-free.

After talking to my sister in law about my bouts of sadness I had been experiencing for the previous couple of years and wondering whether they were symptomatic of pre menopause, she told me that an older lady had advised her to take EPO. she had followed the advice and been taking for the last 20 years. She said she had hardly had any menopausal symptoms. I followed her advice and tried it. It was unbelievable. I used to get these waves of sadness 2 to 3 times a week. Almost like an anxiety flush.... After starting the EPO once a day every day I didn’t experience another bout for at least three months. Been taking for nearly a year now, I still get a few episodes but very rarely now. I also take menopause vitamins supplements 2-3 times a week. Recently started to experience the occasional hot flush, but they are ok so far. Read More Read Less

Guys!I thought that it must be nonsense what they say here about it working immediately. Today and about a week now I was in very low mood, angry,hotflashes. As soon as took one it felt like magic my lowmood lifted and haven't had hotflash since I took it this is crazy....Seems super let's see more days.

Blackmore evening primrose oil is the best product. I try other brands didn't work for me. I see differences with my hair, skin and hot flash is gone comes only once every 4 months if I am stress or so otherwise it's magic pill.

Using it only for three days but I already can feel the difference. NO hot flashes, no pain. I used it for my boys acnes and it really helped. Very good suppliment. I am glad I decided to give a try after spending years with doctors and no answers.

I started taking EPO 9 months ago when I started experiencing hot flashes. Within a few days the hot flashes were gone!! A wonderful help!! For the past several months this has continued and I am so much happier!! I did start to notice a weird sensitivity in the back of my mouth though about 4 months in to taking EPO. Thought it was my usual oral allergy symptoms, but it was different. I went and skipped a few days of EPO and the feeling went away. Went back on EPO and the sensitivity started up... again. I was taking EPO 1x/day 1000mg. I have now started taking the EPO only 2-3x/week and no hot flashes and no sensitivity in my mouth. My daughter has found EPO to significantly help her with her PMS symptoms too! She too though found she had a slight allergic reaction. She would get itchy legs. We lessened her dose to 1x/week and all itchiness went away too. This little trial and error was worth the benefits EPO provides us both. I am 53 and she is 18. Read More Read Less

I'm 54 and my hot flashes were unbearable. My Mom told me that she used evening primrose oil when she went through menopause and it worked for her. I purchased 1000mg Jamison brand online. I take 1 pill per day with dinner. Omg! I almost started hormones because I was going out of my mind. One month on EPO and NO more flashes. I'm sleeping much better! Please try this before considering hormones.

I'm 49, no perimenopause symptoms as yet apart from severe irritability ( really bad ) I was getting annoyed for the smallest thing, which is not like me. I started with Evening Primrose oil and within 2 days I'm seriously not feeling angry. I've only had 1000mg each day for 2 days, surely it can't work that quick, well if it has its amazing, I'm certainly going to carry on the 1000mg a day.

I was experiencing hot flashes during the day and night. My Doctor prescribed a low dose of antidepressants but the side effects were awful. My flashes went away but I felt sick! I stopped them immediately and was ready to start estrogen. Then I discussed this with my Mom and she mentioned evening primrose oil had helped her. I ordered Jamison 1000 mg. After one week I do still have flashes but they are very mild. I can sleep a bit better and I feel a lot different! Thanks to my Mom I think my suffering... may be over for now! Give it a try! Be sure to take with food...I take it at night with dinner. Read More Read Less

I have been using EPO for about 25years to help with sore breast for PMS and it helped I only took 1 pill 1000mg once to twice every month Now that I am going through menopause I take the same dosage to help with hot flashes and again it has helped so much in reducing the amount of times that I get a hot flash

I'm in my late 20's and have always had problems with irregular periods, but last year they suddenly just stopped all together. My GP did multiple tests to try and work out whether it was a hormonal issue or if I was anaemic, and all the tests came back fine and clear so we were stumped. My mum suggested I try EPO, and two weeks later I had my first period in almost a year. I had another one the next month, and am hoping for a third!

I'm 52 and have started having around 20 or more hot flashes a day. I read that evening primrose will prevent it. It has excellently. I might have 4 flashes now and I have only been taking the primrose for three days. It started working the first day. The hot flashes I do have are 80 % less severe also. This works really good and really fast. Also good for many other things. Definitely worth a try.

I started using this to help with hormone issues I was having. I’ve been using for about 2 months consistently and I’ve had great results. Not to mention my Skin is flawless! In the beginning I noticed a few new breakouts, but apparently this is a purge phase and after two weeks my skin was noticeably much smoother. I’m glad I gave it a try.

Had severe breast pain. A zinging, with aching and sharp pain. Tried ice packs, heating pads, and then I tried EP. Completely gave me relief.

Have only taken for 2 weeks, breast pain is gone, periods are getting lighter and less painful! Have been able to notice and control stress levels. I only take 1000mg 3times per wk.

In the past year, I have begun to insert one capsule vaginally for about three days every menstrual cycle in accordance with pain and dryness. I noticed that my breasts are actually more tender and fuller with using this as a treatment. Also I unfortunately frequently experience BV from using saliva as lubricant(I assume). This instantly clears up the symptoms of BV before they become an issue. In my eyes, an incredible herbal treatment.

I have lots of bloating, hot flashes, always hot during the day. I read great reviews and decided to buy and try it. So far itâ??s amazing and it cut my appetite as well.
