Evening Primrose Oil

[sarahm1980]

I did a search and found a thread about this from over a year ago so I thought I'd ask as well. I first heard about evening primrose oil from a woman I got a facial from at a spa I went to in Seattle, she said it can help out with minimizing the appearance of facial hair and also hormone imbalances. I have a bottle from GNC that I got probably about 10 months ago and I've started to take it again. I'm bad about remembering to take supplements, the only thing I remember to take is my prescribed medication.

Anyway, does anyone else take this? If so, have you noticed any benefits?

I don't take EPO but I take omegas 3, 6, and 9 which I think epo offers a lot of omega 3. I would have to say i feel better generally

I take evening primrose oil. But i have never heard of it helping with facial hair or hormones....In fact its supposed to help with Pre Menstrual Tension and its great for Cervical Fluids...Helps increase the amounts around fertile times.

I must warn you not to take it while pregnant or during 2WW as it can cause problems.
I take it From CD1 through to Ovulation.

If you forget to take the supplements try taking them when you take the prescription meds or put a note up on the fridge. I take all my medications at night as i seem to remember to take them more then than during the day.
