Evening primrose oil provides nutritional support for mild discomfort associated with PMS. Polyunsaturated fatty acids play an important role in maintaining the health of the human body.

Linoleic acid, a member of the Omega-6 fatty acid class, promotes rapid muscle growth and the reduction of excess fat deposits. The acid also maintains the structure of cell membranes. Gamma-linolenic acid belongs to the Omega-3 fatty acid class and plays an important role in maintaining the functioning of the brain, nerve and glandular cells, and eyes. Both of these acids are necessary for normal growth and development of the human body. Fatty acids are a precursor to hormone-like compounds prostaglandins, which regulate many physiological processes. Evening primrose oil has a number of medicinal properties.
