Default Is Evening Primrose any good for men?

I've been taking evening primrose oil (along with loads of other suppliments) for a long time. I don't know why, I just read it was good somewhere. Now, nearly every posting I read with regard to evening primrose oil suggests it is only any good for women's problems.

Do men get any benefits from taking evening primrose oil?

Thanks,

Robert

hi Robert,

Yes, there are a number of conditions applicable to men as well as women, that EPO can be helpful for. Mostly inflammatory conditions of the skin, muscles and joints .... eczema, arthritis. Also can be helpful for weightloss and may be usefull with asthma and allergies.

Here's further reading and information from WholeHealthMD.com ... http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshe...525,779,00.html

hth,

Doreen
