This stuff is really nice! I have been using it for almost a month and I take 2 of them a day topically for massage they are 500mg each so I use 1000mg a day. That is pretty common dosage. Internally or externally.

I was reading some really awsome benifits that EPO has for NBE when taking it INTERNALLY. I have been using it EXTERNALLY only, but now am thinking of taking it orally as well. It sounds like it would work better that way.
I may just have to try that when I start the herbs.

I was thinking of taken them internally as well. I've read it's good for sciatica as well which is why I'd like to try it as I have chronic sciatica :-) ... I just didn't know if you take what's on the bottle or more as on some routines it seems a lot more :-(

Umm, well in my opinion I would NEVER even for NBE purposes go over the amount on the bottle. The ones I have say take 1-2 softgels 2-3 times a day.
They are 500mg and I use 2 a day massaging so I could take 1 a day internally and still be way safe with it.
So I would just not go over the recommended dosage, but thats my opinion, many others take more.

Sunset, mine are 1000mg per capsule and you can take up to three a day.
I have been taking EPO for a while now internally. It is hard to tell what works but I think it has been helping with my routine, but how can you ever be sure. :-)

GLA doses
March 26 2006, 3:33 AM
I found this and pasted it here if any one is interested:
Doses of GLA greater than 3,000 mg per day should be avoided because, at that point, production of AA (rather than DGLA) may increase.
