NFH EPO SAP, 90 Softgels

NFH EPO SAP is a certified organic evening primrose oil — 1000 mg, providing 90-100 mg GLA and 680 mg linoleic acid — one of the most established natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid.

Why GLA is worth sourcing directly

GLA is a precursor to prostaglandin E1, a compound involved in regulating inflammation and hormonal signalling, but the body's own conversion of dietary linoleic acid into GLA is inefficient and can be further slowed by stress, aging, or certain health conditions. Supplementing GLA directly bypasses that bottleneck. Deficiencies in this pathway have been linked to PMS symptoms like irritability, breast tenderness, and fluid retention, as well as menopausal hot flashes, and EPO also helps inhibit leukotriene synthesis, supporting a reduction in systemic inflammation.

Often chosen by

• Women managing PMS or menopausal symptoms
• Anyone supporting a healthy inflammatory response
• People whose diet may not efficiently convert linoleic acid to GLA

Format and exclusions

90 softgels per bottle, one softgel after every meal. Non-GMO and certified organic, made without gluten, dairy, or soy.

Before you start

EPO may have a mild blood-thinning effect; check with a healthcare practitioner if you're on anticoagulant medication or have a seizure disorder, as evening primrose oil has occasionally been linked to lowering seizure threshold in susceptible individuals. Store in a cool, dry place, and keep out of reach of children.
