I was very pleased to find these. I think primrose oil helps me, and this is cold pressed, so it’s a higher quality than what I usually buy. The pills in my usual brand are enormous compared to these. And you can see the oil moving around inside the pill container in this brand, which leads me to believe less is needed because of its purity.Here’s the weird thing, and I’ve never seen it before. The pills are packaged in the bottle per usual, with a seal on top that has to be pulled off. However, the pills are stuff into a ziplock bag and the whole thing, bag and all, are stuffed into the bottle. WTH? I struggled with getting it out for a bit, then decided I’d just leave the whole thing in there until I’d used enough pills for it to slip out easily.Strange, don’t you think? I didn’t take a star off for it, but what are they thinking?Thank you for reading my review. I have done my best to give you a detailed and honest opinion.

These are packed differently than any other supplement I’ve ever had. I suppose that since the oil is in hard capsule instead of being a gelcap, they put them in a plastic bag lest one or more bust and leak oil, but I don’t think it would make any difference since with or without the plastic bag oil would get all over all of them. Luckily none were broken or leaking but I can’t pull the bag out of the bottle. Each capsule is almost full of oil with a little open space at one end. I can swallow them fine but a gelcap is easier. As far as health benefits go I believe this primrose oil is as good as the others I have reviewed in the past. I have not felt any ill effects and I think my hot flashes are less intense.

I have been meaning to add evening primrose oil to my daily vitamins and finally did. I take multiple vitamins for various things, different times of the day. This one I take after breakfast (with others) and in the afternoon (solo).I don’t know if I’m really getting all of the benefits that I’ve read that comes with EPO, but I do know I am a bit more energetic since adding this to my regimen.I did find it odd to have it bagged inside of the bottle, I just ended up removing them from the bag and adding them to the bottle, no big issue and I didn’t have oily residue that I noticed from any of the capsules.

I have been taking these for a little over a week. Since the weather is changing here my skin usually starts to get dryer and often my eczema will act up. So far I think this may be helping keep my skin more moisturized, in addition to my normal skin care regiment.The bottle was sealed and non-tampered when I received it. My pills were in a plastic bag, it is not common but I have noticed this more and more often with supplements. Particularity, when the pills may degrade if exposed to moister, like gel pills. Personally, I would rather my pills come to me in an annoying little baggie then have the company toss a “freshness pack” in my bottle and I accidentally take that. Also, those little fresh pack things have tiny gel looking balls that could easily be confused as pills if you didn’t know or understand.There have been no unusual or bad smells when opening the bottle. The gel caps are easy to swallow and have no lingering after taste. I have had no adverse effects and since I also recently just had my annual check up all of my blood work and levels came back in the normal mid range levels.

At first, I wasn’t sure about all the benefits of Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), and I’ve never taken it, so I Googled it. Here’s what I found:”Evening primrose oil nourishes the skin, hair, nails, even the joints. The GLA it contains helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss. EPO has anti-inflammatory effects without the side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs.” Sounds great to me!I’ve started adding these capsules to my daily vitamin regimen. I haven’t experienced any ill effects. The pills have a red plastic band around each one in the middle – that’s to seal the two halves together. I’ve seen some reviewers indicate there’s something wrong because of the band. There isn’t. People have also commented about the plastic bag inside holding the capsules – also not a big deal – it keeps them from sticking together that way. (“Don’t believe everything you read.” LOL)I’m really looking forward to the benefits this supplement will provide. There are even articles on the web about EPO helping with weight loss! YAY!Two thumbs up for EPO!Thanks for reading our review.
