Thanks for answering. I saw one brand that says to take up to 1500 mg a day...I guess it all it depends.

 

[hotshot]

it really depends how much GLA?

Well, I have an update. I went to visit my mother, and she asked me what have I been using on my skin because it was practically GLOWING! The only thing I've been doing differently is taking EPO, so it must be having some effect after all. She also asked me if I had bought a new bra.

How embarrassing!

Period was esier this time- less severe cramps-easier flow. I'm going to keep taking mine-on my second bottle now.

I'm finally noticing this "side effect" and this alone is more than enough incentive to keep me taking it!!!

I need to get some Evening Primrose Oil ASAP! What dosage should I get and how much do they normally retail for?

My capsules are 1000 mgs each (I take one a day) - and I bought mine at WalMart... About $6.00 for, I think, 90 or 100 capsules.

Thanks for answering, Lindy. Is the Spring Valley brand? I took Fish Oil that I got from Wal-Mart and it worked..but I just didn't buy again-I was planning to buy some more though.

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

I don't know about anyone else but, I had started back taking my Evening Primrose Oil and experienced sore/achiness in my breasts and yes, I did want the extra fullness others mentioned. The discomfort has made me leave them alone again though.

I have the GNC brand, just to let you know. Each capsule is 500 mg. I believe and the directions say to take 2 daily.

 

[kreeme]

No wonder!!! I have gone from a 36C to a 38D in a matter of months. I could not figure out for the life of me why they got so big when I haven't put on any weight. The only thing I can't stand is my boobs are always sore. I was beginning to wonder if I was pregnant or not!

 

[Guest]

I'm not interested in the bigger breasts...I only want to try them because they decrease cramps...and I'm tired of being in pain every month...

[bettydavis]

Natori, the brand I use is Equate (generic wal-mart brand) and comes in 1000 mg capsules. I take one or two a day. It also has 30 ui of vitamin e.

 

[CheerHHS]

to those who experienced bigger breasts as a result of taking this: after you stop taking them do your breast graudually return to their normal size? Im thinking about taking them but I would have a hard time explaining the absence of my boobs after I stop taking then.

 

[soulchild]

Yeah, they return.

 

[esoterica]

anyone still taking EPO? If so how much?

 

[sareca]

Now that's what I'm talking about. Flaxseed oil does this for me, but I might try primrose oil. Fish oil does nothing for my cramps.

 

[MsLepe]

It stopped my pre-menstrual cramps, I had my baby almost two months ago, and I didnt even know Aunt Flo' was coming, it just sneeked up on me!!! Other than that I havent noticed much with my hair.

 

[Sharpened]

I am taking EPO and Cod oil softgels from Puritan's Pride. So far, the oil production on my scalp has increased a little and a dry patch on my face has disappeared.

 

[Crystalicequeen123]

Is evening primrose oil safe to take with other supplements?? ie: MSM, Biotin, & Hair Skin Nails pills?? Because I'm taking these supplements already, but would like to see the results you ladies are having with EPO, but I don't want to "OD" on herbal supplements!

Yes, it is safe since it is basically a food product. You can space out when you take them during the day for peace of mind.

 

[gn1g]

I take 1000mg a day walmart brand. I've been taking them for about a month. Hadn't noticed anything significant. Breast are very tender but Hairgasm told us to take Natural Vit E to offset that and it does. I'm hoping that it will cut my appetite a bit and moisturize my skin.

 

[Lindy]

Has anyone heard or experienced anything NEGATIVE with Evening Primrose Oil?? I stopped for a while but was thinking about starting back up. I'm just so leary of taking supplements... there's so much conflicting information out there... erplexed

 

[Ms.Allyse]

I'm really upset with myself, ALLLLLLL I KEEP SEEING IS "FULLER/BIGGER BREAST" ONCE I saw that a couple of times I was SOLD........sad.....

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

I just thought it was my responsibility to add my opinion on EPO.. I took this for a couple of months back in the summer and my results were anything but pleasant..... I think it did give me smoother skin but the menstrual effects of this were frightening,, I was extremely irritable almost to the point of insanity and the period itself was so utterly heavy ity was grusesome and it was disabling and I also suffered the worst cramps I had ever experienced.. Another effect I suffered was a total loss of sex drive to the point where I couldnt even be aroused,, Im sorry if thats TMI but i feel I should let any prospective users know of the possibilities while using this,, It must have altered my hormones in an alarming way, perhaps causing an excess of estrogen which could also be a cause of cancer, I will never touch this stuff again , Im aware that its used for estrogen replacement in menopausal women..... all i can say is Be CAREFUL.....

 

[Ms.Allyse]

^^ That's great info, everyone's body is different!!
