“I have quite a sensitive stomach when it comes to fish oil which is a shame as omega 3 is such a vital oil my body needs to perform to my best. This alternative using Borage and Primrose oil is fantastic as it means that I don't need to suffer from belly aches and fishy burps but can still reap the benefits I usually would get. What are these benefits you may be asking?
Firstly, a reduction in fatigue and muscular pain. I have a very busy schedule and although I should rest more, my lifestyle doesn't allow me to do this as much as I probably should. These oils have helped me to stay less tired throughout the day with a less foggy functioning brain. You get 3 months supply for just £21. Working out to £7 a month! Ill also say that these are great for those that suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. I suffer from both and have noticed drastic improvements in the last 2 weeks since I have been taking this supplement. Very easy to swallow with no odd taste/smell. 5 stars!!”
“A me è stato consigliato dalla dermatologa per problemi di acne (nonostante non più la giovane età) dovuti probabilmente a ormoni o calcoli alla cistifellea.
Ne ho provati anche altri ma questo è il top, almeno per me lo è stato.”
“I get bad PMS from or just after ovulation with symptoms including headaches, increased fatigue and mood swings. If anything can help, I'm willing to try it. I already take calcium D-glucarate for the nasty side that comes out, but need to improve the other areas. Once the initial smell has been released from the pot, only a subtle one remains and I don't smell it when taking the capsules individually. There's no taste to them and they're easy to swallow with a mouthful of water. I also like that the capsules are clear and I can see what's inside.
Having taken them for just over three weeks, I haven't noticed any difference in my PMS symptoms. That said, I started taking them just at the time of my PMS symptoms starting and I'm aware that it might need longer to get into my system. Therefore, I'll keep an open mind and continue to take them through my next cycle to see if they help.
Update - although I didn't notice any difference on my first lot of PMS, on the second round, just over a month later, I definitely noticed an improvement. I didn't get as depressed, although my anxiety still got out of control. No improvement in energy levels either, but I'm still pleased with the outcome.”
“Tengo problemas de alergia en la piel,y tomar este suplemento me viene bien, ya que el aceite de borraja combinado con el de onagra,ayudan a favorecer la circulación en la epidermis, calmar la irritación cutánea y limitar la producción de grasa. Todo ello se refleja en una mayor elasticidad y firmeza.
Si la onagra y la borraja son tan valiosas para la salud de nuestra epidermis es porque producen los únicos aceites esenciales con alto contenido en GLA (ácido gamma linolénico) con que contamos en nuestra dieta. En concreto, la onagra tiene un 10,5% de GLA y la borraja un 20,5%.La GLA interviene en la producción de unas sustancias llamadas prostaglandinas. Junto con las hormonas, se encargan de regular la actividad celular y reducen la pérdida de agua de la piel, al tiempo que tienen un efecto antiinflamatorio.
Estas cápsulas contienen 500 mg de onagra y 200 mg de aceite de borraja por cápsula,y la dosis recomendada es de 1 cápsula al día. Al tener 90 cápsulas tienes para un buen tratamiento.
Me vienen bien, la marca Vegavero siempre tiene muy buenos productos,y nunca defrauda. Noto la piel más calmada, menos enrojecida, así que para los brotes temporales que tengo son muy útiles.
Espero haberte ayudado!”
“I have a friend who absolutely swears by this supplement as a helpful one for ladies who have sore and tender boobs during menopause. This is a quality organic version which contains Borage oil in addition to Evening primrose oil. There is three months supply in the bottle and it comes in easy to swallow capsules. A decent price for a quality supplement.”
“When I was in my late twenties, a doctor (in Germany, coincidentally) recommended that I take a good quality oil of evening primrose capsule daily to avoid the problems I was having with breast pain at certain times in my cycle. And I've been taking one every since - about forty years, and it has kept the pain at bay.
I am really pleased to have the chance to take this high quality vegan and organic product from such a reputable company, with the added bonus of borage - they are both regarded as beneficial medicinal plants around the world.
My rusty German tells me that Nachtkerze is a night candle - what a lovely term. The container comes properly sealed, text is in German and English, there are 90 capsules, and although the capsules give slightly more taste than I have noticed with other capsules, this three month supply is worth every penny for the health benefits it brings.”
“If you're a woman who struggles with PMS/PMT, tenderness in your breasts during menstruation, and excessive cramping, these capsules may be incredibly helpful.
Evening Primrose Oil (apart from sounding like something out of a fairytale) is an ancient medicinal - various ancient cultures across the world have used it for various things, including mood-lifting; relief from arthritis aches and pains, and helping with skin conditions including acne, psoriasis and eczema... but it's at its most effective when helping women during menstrual cycles and, later on, during menopause.
You can't really mess around with Evening Primrose so you need to stick to recommended dosages fairly strictly but if you do, it really may be worth a go.
VegaVero is a tremendous company, too - we've tried maybe half a dozen of their supplements and they're always wonderful.
These specific capsules are easy to swallow (it's actual oil in a gel capsule) and you take one a day, with plenty of water. The bottle has 90 capsules, so it'll last you 3 months, which is about the time you'll need to find out if it's helping you any. At the time of writing, it's £21.90 which, for 3 months, is excellent value for a wonderful supplement, from a wonderful company.”
