Evening Primrose Oil Supplement

Evening primrose oil (EPO) is sometimes suggested for hormonal balance and skin health, but its safety during breastfeeding is not well-established. It contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid. Limited data exists on transfer to breast milk. Use cautiously and discuss with your healthcare provider before taking it while nursing.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
