Evening primrose is an Omega 6 fatty acid.
It is important to maintain a balance of
Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. I do not
know where you are from, but in Western
cultures (such as the US) diets are very,
very high in Omega 6 f.a.'s throwing the
balance off.
I would be interested in knowing more
about why you are taking the primrose oil.
I also believe it is better to get your
omega 3's from food sources versus
supplements as it is easier on your body
to process.
Let me know what dosages you are taking
and what your diet is like.
