A member asked:
Is evening primrose oil effective in treating symptoms of pmdd? does it alter gla? also, should it be taken every day, or only 2nd half of cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, Yes, Daily: Evening Primrose Oil is an excellent source of GLA so it raises it. It appears to help with breast pain associated with PMS but has not been shown to help PMDD.
