Hi there,
In an effort to relieve some of my PMS symptoms, I added EPO to my list of supplements. This is some of the advice our resident "supplement guru" Beatle gave me:
On the EPO, what you are really after is the GLA. (I think we could make a song out of this, hey?)
Anyway, the GLA is that good oil stuff you can get in many different places and you need a lot, so don't worry about doubling up on it. Borage oil is supposed to be the most concentrated form, but it hasn't been studied as much as Evening Primrose Oil, which is tried and true. Just take a lot of it and you will be happy. It makes your skin, nails and hair strong and shiny, and helps with PMS, and on top of that, it is good for the liver.
I think the recommended dose is around 1,500-3,000 mg of the EPA per day (or 150-300mg of the GLA).
The Omega 3-6-9 had EPO in it. Honestly, I can't tell the difference yet, I think I need to give it more time and maybe take more after reading this again.
Hope this helps!
