Hey Nick !
i have been taking a small dose, [1 capsule] of oil of primrose, because it is a good source of GLA, which is supposed to be helpful for alcoholics, [i am recovering] and also because i take a hefty amount of fish oil, which is high in DHA, and EPA, [ essential fatty acids]and that can cause an imbalance sometimes in GLA! GLA is an omega 6 fatty acid, usually over-abundant in most peoples diet, but since i am taking so much fish oil, [omega 3]i want to be on the safe side!!
evening primrose oil is also great for arthritis!! a similiar oil is borage oil!!but from this point on, i am going to keep an eye out for those side-effects TJ spoke of, my girlfriend wouldn't "dig" me as much with breasts, i'm sure, lol!! oh, btw, it is pretty inexpensive..john
