I wouldn't think you'd get any growth from that alone.

I toke 3000mg for EPO for months (maybe 6 months) and saw I was getting bigger so I did some research looking for supplements or herbs that could help and thats when I found this site. I was a small A (maybe an AA) until I started the EPO. I was taking the EPO just for PMS.

The question ''can this make your breast grow'' is useless because nothing works the same for everyone, NBE is very individual and varies hugely. Even a product that has a 50% sucess rate is rare.

Author Judy Graham who wrote a book on EPO claims to have gone from a B cup to a DD cup without gaining weight any place else while taking EPO. Researchers aren't sure why but it's apparently not an uncommon occurence. Women who have been on studies involving EPO have reported the same thing. Personally I wouldn't just take it by itself but would include it in a comprehensive BE program. Most people who have experienced growth have taken it for at least 6 mos or longer and at relatively high dosages i.e. 3000mg-4000mg range.

Hmm thats interesting info Frostedmint06! I've been taking EPO for a while (longer than any other herbs in my program) and haven't experienced any growth but perhaps its a result of me not taking those high dosages you mention. I take 1500 a day... I'm gonna start raising it and see what happens then. Thanks!

I know that EPO should have at least 9% of GLA. How many mgs is it approximately? Thanks in advance.

To avoid taking all the huge capsules I bought the liquid cold pressed oil from Power Health:
http://www.worldwideshoppingmall.co.uk/b...se-oil.asp
It's 10% GLA and a 5ml teaspoon is equivalent to 4500mg. The bottle says take 1-5mls daily. It doesn't taste too bad if you quickly drink something sweet to take away the greasyness....only problem is I'm rubbish at taking it!

ive been taking 1000mg starflower oil daily (and massaging boobies with it too) i heard it has more GLA than evening primrose oil, i was thinking about increasing the dosage but i heard that it can be toxic if taken in large doses also the bottle says do not exceed recommended dose, anyone got any info with regard to toxicity?
I must add that i burst the capsule and then drink the oil (GROSS is not the word) but as a a vegan i can not find any vegecapsules!

Hey Fullness,
You can get starflower 1000mg vegcaps from Arkopharma - I'm a wimp with caps so I only used about 5 if you want me to stick them in the post (in exchange for the rosehips you sent). In fact Arkopharma have a great range of everything in vegcaps. Email me if you want them.
I've replaced them with Power Health liquid starflower and you can take a teaspoon of that which is about 4500-5000mg without damaging yourself. It's this:
http://www.worldwideshoppingmall.co.uk/b...ge-oil.asp
But it's slightly cheaper if you buy direct from Power Health - they also give free shipping if you buy a couple. I also have their liquid EPO. Both only contain the oil and Tocopherl (vitamin E) as a preservative.
On the subject of oils I also got ground flax seeds (not oil - like bran) which can be mixed in food, esp cereal / porridge, 6tsp = 1tsp oil.

Hi Fullness,
This is the link to the Power Health starflower section, you'll have to scroll down to the second item:
http://www.power-health.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=&WD=starflower&PN=GLA_SUPPLEMENTS%2ehtml%23a15#a15
Or if that doesn't work put "power health starflower" into google, scroll down to the one that says Power Health LTd Search Results (number 9 on google) and it's the first on the list on that link.
I wouldn't mix it in anything, I've tried a few things and whatever you put it in the whole lot tastes like oil so just swallow the teaspoonful quickly and have a sip of a sweet cheap soft drink nearby.
You can also get EPO from them, I've been using this directly on my skin with BB and Brava but it's nice and warming so maybe you could use for massage (it's quite cheap too).

I take evening primrose oil in 1000mg tablets per day. I did take 2 1000mg tablets and they made me feel awful the the next day. I had stomach cramps, headaches and felt sick. I am carrying on with taking just one tablet a day. I haven't had any changes to my bust yet though

I am looking to buy some EPO through amazon.com. Does it matter what mg the capsules are? For instance, some of you ladies were talking about the capsules being too huge and difficult to swallow. In that case, would 500mg be easier to swallow than 1000mg or 1350mg? or do those numbers have nothing to do with capsule size? I would rather buy capsules than liquid for convenience sake. I don't always eat at home.

500mg capsules are definitely smaller than 1000mg capsules and therefore much easier to swallow. I take 1000mg capsules myself and chew them because I like the taste. They are just way too big to try to choke down. Good luck with everything!

Hi KB,
I did a bit of research on the internet and netdoctor states the following info about combinging evening primose oil and birth control pills:
"Many of the women who take evening primrose oil (also known as Gamolenic acid, or Efamast) are also taking the oral contraceptive pill.
There is no evidence that there is any interaction between evening primrose oil and any other medication, and certainly no suggestion that this product might interfere with the action of the pill.
Starflower oil, unlike evening primrose oil is not a licensed medicine and there is little available information about it. However, unless you are taking excessive doses of starflower oil, it seems highly unlikely that it would interfere with the action of your oral contraceptive pill."
So perhaps EPO is safer than starflower oil.
Hope this helps.
