Indeed! My husband started taking these about 30 years ago to help psoriasis (which it did) and finds that along with fish oil it helps him. A bit!

I've been taking starflower oil for 8 months as I read its good for arthritis, especially knees and hands. I read that its stronger than evening primrose oil. Disappointingly, its not done a thing for me so have now decided to stop taking them and probably give turmeric a try.

Very interesting, I wonder if we just can not obtain these oils at a strong enough strength to make any difference. You have saved me wasting my money so many thanks for that.🌝🌝🌝

I seem to remember there are different strengths of Evening Primrose oil.

My Mum always swore by that for her arthritis.I tried it and it did nothing.

Everyone's different so everything is worth a try!
