Product overview
Description
Composition
- Evening Primrose Oil, standardised to Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) 10% = 100mg
- Linoleic Acid (LA) 72% = 720mg
- DL-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - 5mg
Manufactured/marketed by Jupiter Healthcare. Retailer listings for this product disagree on the total capsule fill weight - one states approximately 1000mg total (consistent with the GLA/LA percentages above), while another states 800mg per serving, matching the product's own name and slug ("EPO-EC 800mg"); check your pack's printed label for the confirmed figure. Separately, although the product is described in marketing text as containing "Vitamins E & C," and the name itself includes "EC," no Vitamin C quantity is itemized in any composition list found - only Vitamin E (5mg) is quantified. If Vitamin C content matters to you (for example, due to an allergy or a specific dietary need), confirm directly against your product's printed label.
Uses & Indications
- General support in arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis
- Skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and acne
- Marketed for hypertension and high cholesterol support
- Diabetic neuropathy support
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause symptom support
- General immune support
These are the retailer's marketed uses for Evening Primrose Oil-based supplementation; they reflect broad traditional and supplement-industry uses of EPO rather than indications proven in large-scale clinical trials specific to this branded product.

Precautions & Side Effects
- May cause gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea, vomiting, flatulence, diarrhea, or bloating

- Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to any ingredient
Storage & Safety
- Store below 30°C

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much Evening Primrose Oil is actually in each capsule - 800mg or 1000mg?
A: Sources disagree: one lists approximately 1000mg total fill (matching the GLA/LA percentages given), another lists 800mg per serving, matching the product's own name. This has not been resolved from available sources - check your product's printed label for the definitive figure.
Q: Does EPO-EC actually contain Vitamin C?
