I began taking Evening Primrose Oil about a year ago, and while it was in conjunction with a lot of other new vitamins and supplements, I’m pretty sure it is at least responsible by half for the regrowth and doubly healthy/shiny appearance of my hair!!

EPO is very high in Linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid) which cannot be synthesized in our bodies. What does that mean? It means that we have to consume it in order to provide it to our bodies’ systems for various biological processes. To put it simply: our body needs it; we don’t make it; we need to eat it!!

While some people may say that it is virtually impossible to be deficient in linoleic acid (it is found in MANY other oils and foods), I can only speak to my own personal experience, and the fact that EPO was used in ancient times in remedies and poultices. I’ll put my money on the “wise women” of the middle ages and keep on taking my capsule of EPO every day….
