Wild evening primrose, unlike its name suggests, doesn’t belong to the primrose family.
The reason it was given a similar name was because it has similar yellow flowers to those of the real primrose.
The flower of the wild primrose opens up in the evening and then fades in bright sunshine which was why the word evening was added to its name.
In the early days, wild evening primrose was used to treat inflammation.
In the 17th century the plant became popular for its healing properties and was used as a remedy for numerous diseases.
In fact, wild evening primrose soon gained the nickname of ‘king’s sure-all’.
Promoters of health supplements and health foods claim that wild evening primrose oil does aid with weight loss, as well as slowing the aging process and helping to prevent cancer.
The weight loss supplement properties of the primrose oil comes from an essential fatty acid known as gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA) that is obtained from the seeds of the flower.
The acid GLA is found in mother’s milk and is considered the primary element responsible for the curative properties of the plant.
We know that breast milk has many benefits even though all the properties of breast milk are not known.
It is not known whether GLA works on its own or in conjunction with other components of breast milk.
GLA can be sourced from other oils including blackcurrant and hemp seed oils.
GLA can also be sourced from photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms that contain a blue pigment in addition to chlorophyll.
The human body itself produces GLA from linolenic acid which is available from cooking oils and meat.
Wild evening primrose oil has had very good reports on its effectiveness for assisting with weight loss, so if you are trying to lose weight then why not give it a try.
It is a safe and effective method that can help you reach your goal weight.
