Obviously, before anyone adds anything new to their routine they should ask their doctor, to make sure there is nothing in any products that can harm them. The purpose of this blog is to share with people what Paula is taking and how she is doing.
Evening Primrose Oil has been a long-time favorite dietary supplement for women's health, especially concerning the natural menstrual cycles and menopause transition. Women of the world cherish evening primrose oil (EPO). It includes high levels of gamma linolenic acid, an important essential fatty acid for support throughout a woman's monthly cycle, and it helps keep the skin healthy.

Choline & Inositol are members of the B-vitamin family. Choline is found in most animal tissues and is necessary for normal synaptic transmission and brain health. In addition, Choline is involved in fatty acid metabolism in the liver. Inositol is also essential for brain and nervous system health. Both Choline and Inositol are essential components of all cell membranes, where they function as cell signaling molecules.www.swansonvitamins.com/NWF866/ItemDetail
Not the same product as pictured but a very good product in the link at the bottom .NOW Vitamin D-3 softgels supply recommended levels of this key vitamin in a highly absorbable liquid softgel form. Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. However, it is not abundant in food.
