A tall, hearty native biennial, the Evening Primrose plant is abundant in many parts of the world. Native Americans first used the plant, often for upset stomach or respiratory infections. They introduced it to European immigrants who took it back to England and Germany.
The main medicinal components are extracted from the seeds in the form of an oil which contains essential fatty acids including high amounts of gamma linoleic acid (GLA). GLA is an essential fatty acid and is used by the body to produce prostaglandins.
During premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or menopause, these hormone-like substances may be out of balance. GLA is believed to be helpful for women with PMS, supporting normal menstrual cycles, and easing hot flashes and mood swings often associated with menopause.
Research has also discovered several other promising uses for Evening Primrose Oil including help for nerve disorders like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. There appears to be some benefit for the easing of the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and hangovers and in cases of alcohol poisoning.
Evening Primrose Oil is also valuable for its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help counteract the damage caused by free radicals in the body.

All Vitabase brand products are manufactured within the USA. This is an important for quality because the FDA inspects our manufacturing facilities regularly. In other countries, governmental agencies may not necessarily exercise much control over manufacturing processes.
We source our ingredients from around the world. This is important because the best available ingredients are not necessarily made in the United States. For example, we get our liquid herbal extract ingredients from Europe because they are absolutely the best on the market.
