What about EPO?
What about EPO? It shows up in the updated recommendations, but not the original list of supplements... I can't figure whether to get some of that stuff, or what it's for???
Thanks!

I'm guessing that what they are referring to is Evening Primrose Oil? It's uses include healing gastro-intestinal disorders and will as being a sedative.
The only other thing I am aware of is the EPO used for doping (think cycling), and it's a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production and therefore the body's ability to supply itself with oxygen.

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!

Ah, thank you both! I knew there was something that seemed not-right about EPO, and now I see that's because I have been reading stuff about bicycling and doping!
Evening Primrose! Got it!
