Evening Primrose Oil in menopause
Synonyms: EPO
Evening primrose oil (EPO) is a popular supplement for menopausal symptoms and PMS, rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Clinical evidence for hot flushes is weak, with a large placebo response in studies. The softgel contains bovine gelatin, so Muslim women should make sure the product carries valid halal certification.
