Evening primrose oil (EPO) is obtained from the seeds of the evening primose plant, a perennial found in North America. The plant was used as a food source for many Native American tribes. The leaves, roots and flowers of the evening primrose are all edible.
The evening primrose contains an essential fatty acid called gamma linolenic acid (GLA). As there are no dietary sources of GLA, the body makes it from another fatty acid (linoleic acid) which is found is vegetable oils. GLA is used to make certain hormone regulatory substances (prostaglandins) which affect the immune system, circulation and menstrual cycles.
