The old joke says, "How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb?" Answer: "Shut up!" You know you're not that horrible, but you do feel pretty awful around that time of the month. You're taking so many women's products to help your health: cranberry, iron, betaine hydrochloride, calcium, black cohosh, soy products, iron (you lose iron through menstruation), and folic acid--the whole vitamin arsenal. There's one thing you forgot (don't scream at us, please.) Evening primrose oil helps alleviate the hormonal stress of PMS, and keeps your skin, hair and nails looking healthy--now you don't have to get upset with your mirror in the morning. Nutrients and essential fatty acids, such as GLA, get leeched out of you before your menses. Evening primrose oil is high in GLA, and can prevent irritable bowl syndrome and sore breasts. You might even have a sense of humor, too, and laugh at our opening joke. Or not. We'll remember to duck.
