Evening Primrose Oil, 500mg – 250 softgels

NOW Evening Primrose Oil comes in a 250-softgel pack, with each softgel delivering 500mg of cold-pressed, hexane-free oil sourced from Oenothera biennis seed. At a serving of 3 softgels, that provides 1.5g of evening primrose oil alongside 135mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — an omega-6 fatty acid also present in borage and black currant seed oils. The cold-pressed, hexane-free extraction method reflects NOW’s commitment to clean, additive-free manufacturing.

GLA is a fatty acid that the body can produce from other dietary fats, though consuming it in its preformed state means it is available for use more directly. Evening primrose oil is a well-established source of this particular omega-6 and is widely used by those who prefer to include a broader range of fatty acids in their nutrition.

The softgel format is easy to swallow and requires no mixing or preparation, making this a straightforward addition to any supplement routine — whether you’re an athlete, following a specific dietary plan, or simply looking to broaden your daily nutrient intake.
