Widely known for supporting women’s health, Evening Primrose oil has several pharmacological actions. Active women’s most common complaints and other situations where Primrose is beneficial include: inflammation, menstrual abnormalities, high cholesterol levels, menopause symptoms and skin ageing.

Anti-inflammatory action

Evening primrose oil has an anti-inflammatory action, as it inhibits eicosanoid synthesis. It helps prevent pain and joint inflammation during weight training and high-impact exercise; reduces arthritis (Salway, 1994) (Belch & Hill, 2000).

Menstrual cycle

Training can have adverse effects on women’s health. Training induces physiological changes, namely endocrine system changes, which include menstrual dysfunctions, one of the most common adverse effects in female athletes. Evening Primrose helps regulate the menstrual cycle and boosts women’s health during menstruation.

Cholesterol

Evening primrose oil also helps regulate cholesterol levels by decreasing triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels while increasing HDL cholesterol.

Menopause

Evening primrose oil helps reduce the side effects of menopause, namely by improving skin and mucous membrane health and lowering cholesterol.

Antioxidant activity

Evening primrose combines two substances of great interest to female athletes: evening primrose oil and vitamin E. Vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress, reducing tiredness and fatigue.
