Can I take Evening primrose oil and Vitamin d3 together?

Why this happens

Evening primrose oil is a source of omega-6 fatty acids (gamma-linolenic acid), while vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin. Because vitamin D3 requires fat to be absorbed properly by the body, taking it alongside a fatty acid supplement like evening primrose oil may actually help your body absorb the vitamin D more effectively.

You can continue taking both supplements as directed. For the best results, take them with a meal that contains some healthy fats to further aid the absorption of vitamin D3. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all the supplements you are taking.
