best value around Evening Primrose Oil had been recommended to me, so I started shopping around. Swanson's brand was the hands down best price I have seen for this dosage. At local vitamin shops to pharmacies, I saw prices more than double! I also trust Swanson's brand for safety & quality. April 5, 2012
Evening Primrose Oil I feel it really works well. It reacts well to my body, natural, easy to take. March 31, 2012
Really helps menopause This product really helps with reducing hot flashes! I wouldn't be able to cope without it. March 29, 2012
did the job I was told that I should try evening primrose for nail strength and hormonal balancing...I know my nails are stronger. I like the size of the pill and the value is great. March 27, 2012
Good purchase for women Product not only good for menopausal symptoms But good for your heart,skin, and joints. I take one every day. March 21, 2012
Excellent Excellent strength and product. It helps a whole lot to balance your hormones and PMS. November 28, 2011
Swanson EFAs Evening Primrose Oil Since I am very allergic to fish, anything from the sea and flaxseed oil, my body was very short of essential fatty acids. Swanson's Evening Primrose Oil supplies me with what I need without causing me to become ill. Because I cannot take anything with fish oils I take one 1300 mg capsule twice daily. Have taken it for many years and will continue to do so. July 30, 2011
I t does it job=) I have been taking this product for the past year and I am sure it has worked it avoided getting bloaded, mood swings and heat flashes. The price is great and since it comes in a softgel it absorbs better than capsules. July 25, 2011
I ordered this because I read it can help with dry eyes, also your hair. I have only been taking about 3 weeks, so don't really know but eyes seem less dry. June 22, 2011
EXPIRY DATE We do want to know the Expiry date of this products as the Mfg date is Aug, 10. No clear instruction being stated outside the bottle. May 15, 2011
MGP I received this Swanson product with only the date: 11/10, they say means was manufactured in these date, but they don´t follow the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), saying GMP and the manufacturing date. So I can´t be sure about the freshness of this product May 11, 2011
Works great! If you are looking for help during your menstral cycle, I highly recommend this. It has been working great for me since I started to use it. I don't take it every day, but I do take it before and during my menstral cycle and I have noticed great improvements. February 3, 2011
Not working I have been taking this together with Black Cohosh and Wild Yam: didn't work at all. The only thing so far that has worked for me is hormonoes. I've tried many natural products each for months and nothing worked so far... January 28, 2011
The Best! A friend (a nurse) recommended this to me about 7 years ago, for PMS, and she said it helps PMS symptoms but you need to take it for a month or two for it to really start making a difference. Well, I absolutely noticed a difference after a couple months and have been using it ever since! I believe it works wonders... and it's supposed to also be very beneficial for those entering (and are in) menopause, so I don't think I'll ever stop taking this product! =) December 14, 2010
Great Value I take these every day with my fish oils for balance . Proven to help with all the things good oils do..... December 2, 2010
No More Midlife Madness~ I am a very youthful 57-year-old woman. A few months ago my body abruptly went through a major midlife change... and I thought I was going to lose my mind. My husband was losing his mind, too! I did some research and, based on that, ordered some Black Cohosh, which made me feel a whole lot better.... for a while. But then I started feeling bad again, it was like the Black Cohosh, all by itself, wasn't enough. A friend suggested I try Wild Yam, which she said had worked wonders for her, so I promptly ordered it, and started taking it along with the Black Cohosh. I felt much better, again... but once again, my feeling better only lasted about a week, and then the hot flashes, etc., started getting worse again. Next I added a soy supplement to the Black Cohosh and Wild Yam, but that made me feel worse. Then I tried Swansons' Hormone Essentials, but I still didn't feel quite right. So I went back and did a lot more research, then ordered this Evening Primrose Oil. THE BOTTOM LINE: for this 57-year-old menopausal woman, I'm feeling "normal" again, taking this Evening Primrose Oil twice a day, Wild Yam twice a day, and Black Cohosh every morning. I take St. John's Wort and L-Theonine for other problems, which I believe may also be helping with my midlife changes. Add in my twice-daily lemon-flavored Omega-3 Fish Oil, and I'm A-OK!

This seems to be mentioned as mostly helping Women which I have no doubt it does but it is a great source of Omega 6 so it is good for everyone. I take this along with Swansons Super EPA Fish Oil which provides Omega 3. Both Omegas are touted as necessary for good health. August 31, 2010
Love!!!! I love this product! I have found it an excellent value, works as good as all the other bands that cost so much more, my skin and hair feel amazing, it is an excellent product all around!!!! August 15, 2010
Stress relief in a pill I've been taking this for over a month on a daily basis. I noticed a tremendous difference when "that time" came around. Instead of feeling very irritable and tired, I felt relaxed and energized. I've recommended this to ALL of my friends and to anyone who wants to take the edge out of the usual monthly symptoms. Thank-you Swanson! July 1, 2010
It's great! I really like this product. It helps reduce my PMS symptoms. It has no after taste unlike other brands. June 30, 2010
Works for me I read about the benefits of EPO for your hair and hormonal health. I can already tell the difference in my hair and skin - softer and less dry. Also, helps with PMS. I will definitely continue to take this every day! June 27, 2010
Very helpful product works great, helps regulate your cycle. Taken daily this product does that very well, plus it's a great fatty acid as well. June 22, 2010
Evening Primrose Oil This may be the very best price possible out of all brands of evening primrose oil for such a high potency and well-formulated product. Thoroughly impressed. I had been using a different brand of this in the same strength, and the price was about 3-4 times higher than this product. Have noticed good changes while using this, including a definite visible improvement in the look of my facial skin and a huge reduction in hot flashes (that improvement occurred within 1 week). Will definitely continue purchasing this product! June 13, 2010
Evening Primrose Oil Swanson's Evening Primrose Oil has been very helpful for both my husband and me. We both have been under a lot of stress lately and something about Evening Primrose Oil has helped us both to relax. My husband has noticed a huge difference in the way he responds to stressful situations since taking it. I've noticed a very nice effect in the way I'm dealing with menopause. It works! June 1, 2010
excellent!! My mother recommended this to me for my cycles and i've taking these for 2 months. Its been wonderful for me!! Also dong quai root helped too May 7, 2010
