I cant tell you anything about the EPO as I didnt use them....but with the Rasberry tabs- I got them from the health food shop- about $8 I think and I took them as suggested, 3 tabs 3-4 times a day. I think it was 300grams each dose. I honestly feel they did make a difference as I ran out of tabs for 3 days and couldnt find them anywhere. Finally I found a pharmacy that stocked them and I took them for a day and started getting contractions..conincidence maybe?
