The primrose oil (also borage will work) contains GLA which is needed to convert Flax to long chain fatty acids.

Females convert more than males anyway. (because females have to supply the fetus' growing brain with EFAs.)

But it doesn't hurt females to have a little GLA when taking alot of flax. It is just a facilitator.
