    Question Dosage for Evening Primrose Oil???

    There are heaps of threads about EPO, but I can't actually find anything that says what doseage to be taking. Everyone says take 1-2 capsules & insert 2-3 capsules per day or some variation of that. BUT you can get capsules in varying strengths. So does anyone know what sort of a dosage in mg you should be taking orally & internally?

    I took 3 x EPO's per day at 1000mg each in the last few weeks of my pregnancy but never inserted them

    Sarah, I took 1000mg too. 1-2 orally and 3 inserted (started with 2 then increased it in the last few weeks to 3).

    Sarah, I pretty much did the same as Willow. And I "think" you will only find 1000 mg capsules. Atleast that's all I could ever find.

    Enjoy hun and remember to wear a pad. It get's messy

    Aah ok I thought I saw 500mg ones.

    Trish I was surprised I did it last night before bed to save on the leakage & there seriously was none. But that was with one & I had a liner on just in case anyway.
