How long have you been taking it, and what positive results have you had with it? How has it made a difference in your hair, health, skin, etc.? What negative side effects have you had? I'm just curious because I bought a bottle, and it has caused fuller boobs in my case (which I don't mind

), but not much else than I can tell. It's only been a couple of weeks, but I'm debating on whether it's worth it to finish the bottle.
 
I havent notice any thing different im about to quit taking it and start back on my black currant oil
 
All I noticed was fuller boobs too(

), but it might take a while before you can really see any results in your hair. I'm going to finish my bottle and see if I notice anything different.

I had been taking it for a good 2 months...I dropped it. I think I'm going to switch to Flaxseed Oil.

i was told by the hairlady that when youre taking vitamins it will take at least 2 months for you to see results. which i can relate to because i didnt know if vitamins were doing anything, but when i took my hair out 2 weeks ago in front of my mom, she was like wow you're hair is getting thicker, and i was thinking the same thing.

the only thing ive added are my vitamins, so maybe you guys should finish the bottle and if you still feel it isnt doing anything then give up

I've been taking Evening Primrose oil, since I was 35, and I'm 43 now and I don't have painful periods, plus it has greatly improved my skin. I have an Aunt, who is taking it, she is 70 and she has very beautiful skin, it is very soft and very few grey hairs.

Ok Honey

I will stick with it then. I guess I was expecting to see results quickly like I did when I started taking B-Complex.

I have noticed fuller breasts, which is not what i wanted. But also I have smoother skin, less breakouts (yea!!!!!! usually happens before menstruation) and no cramping.
 
Which brand and type(i.e., liquid,pill) of EPO are you all using?
 
It is good for less severe menstrual cramping. Unfortunately that's not what I got it for (I bought it for tendonitis) so I won't be repurchasing once it's gone.
 
How much are you guys taking. I have a bottle that I had actually forgotten about, but I think that I am going to start taking it again. The bottle says that each pill is 1000 mg.

I'm taking pharmassure which u can find at rite aid- taking 2/500mg 2xdaily- will finish first bottle tommorrow. I am also taking fish oil(just added), flaxseed oil, vitamin e, l-lysine,msm(just added)and my multi. Softer skin, nicer,stronger nails-don't know about menstrual cramps- i haven't come on yet. I'm going to stick it out for the long haul. You should get results anywhere from 2-6 months be patient.
 
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm taking Spring Valley 1000mg softgels (they look like pretty jelly beans

), and will just finish the bottle & see what happens.
 
Update everyone: I got my period today and I didn't even FEEL it coming! Just like when I was 12! NO CRAMPS (and mine are usually sooo painful). I know it must be because of the EPO, because that's the only new thing I've added. Cramp free periods and bigger boobs....This stuff is definitely a keeper for me!

I need to get some Evening Primrose Oil ASAP! I woke up this morning [after finally getting into a deep sleep] with EXTREMELY HORRIBLE cramps...this has been happening for quite some time..and now I know I need to get some Evening Primrose to help alleviate the pain. What dosage should I get and how much do they normally retail for?
