Vegetarian caps Evening Primrose

by Shell

in Silver Spring, MD on 6/2/09

Pros: Simple To Take

Describe Yourself: First Time User

Best Uses: Daily Use

Bottom Line: recommended

It is difficult to find veggie caps so this was a great find. The capsules are not too large and there is no smell. Not sure why they are cloudy/milky colored but I trust Dr. Weil's brand.

"Not exactly an oil".

Describe Yourself: Health Conscious

Best Uses: Daily Use

Bottom Line: not recommended

Normally I would've use this product daily, but I noticed that it was not an oil. I have never seen Evening Primrose Oil capsules that were cloudy and not liquified. I was under the impression that Weil products were a name you can trust. I was very disappointed.
