Default Evening Primrose Oil

Was wondering if anyone knew how much you could safely take of this daily! I know most I see in stores is 500mg or a 1000mg.

Does anyone know if there is a recommended daily amount to take?

The one I have from Holland and Barrett says to take up to 3 1,000mg tablets daily... I have no idea what the recommended amount is.

Exclamation Finally!

Okay in case no one saw my older posts / threads because of that problem affecting me and a few others… I’ll post it here…

I think the Evening Primrose Oil worked… 3000mg a day since 16th January and AF finally showed on Sunday after being missing in action for 608 DAYS!

I was over the moon on Sunday now I just wish she would piss off again… lol

I use to take 1000mg of Met morning and 500mg lunch time + 500mg evening....

But now it's changed to 1000mg x twice day.
