Evening Primrose

Evening primrose, derived from the flowers of the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis), is a native plant in North America but is also found in Europe and parts of Asia. The oil extracted from the seeds of this plant is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid important for various biological functions.

Traditionally, evening primrose oil is used as a dietary supplement for both humans and animals. In dogs, it can contribute to a healthy coat and skin, while in chickens it may promote overall health. Horses can also benefit from evening primrose oil, especially as support for their skin and coat condition, as well as for overall vitality.

The potential benefits of evening primrose oil lie in supporting skin health and promoting a shiny coat. It may help reduce inflammation and support the immune system. However, it is always advisable to consult a veterinarian when using supplements for animals.
