Does evening primerose increases cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No....?: One of the reported uses of evening primrose oil (Oenothera bienis) is to lower cholesterol, but since it is neither a legitimate drug nor FDA approved, there are no scientific studies to document its efficacy. You're on your own.
