I live in Poland and the nearest whole foods shops are in London . And I want to give it a try but have no clue how to get it (im not into any other brands) But if someone used no Whole Foods brand evening primrose oil and it helped to diminish the redness please write a post here!!!!

@ jason: lots of replies iin the thread about paxil... Would it be enough just to read the first page or is there some important info on the other pages?
important info on all pages

@Tanaka

Do you have KP on your body? Arms and Legs etc? Or only on you face?
And does the Whole Foods brand contain Vitamine E? What are the ingredients?

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

Okay. I have done everything. Well, as some of you may already know I am from Poland. I want to give the Whole Foods Evening Primrose Oil a try because it seems it helped a few people here.

I can, of course, get EPO in Poland with ease. Primrose is quite popular plant in the country. But I'm only interested in Whole Foods brand one. And the nearest shops of Whole Foods are in London. I tried to find it on UK eBay but there isn't Whole Foods one...

So here is my request: Is there anyone from London here? Maybe someone could get EPO for me and send it to Poland? I can call all the WF shops in London and ask if there is EPO.

It is very important for me!

Thanks in advance.

I live in the U.S. and have the whole foods primrose. Here are the supplement facts from the back of the bottle.

Evening Primrose Oil (certified organic) 500 mg
45mg gamma-linolenic acid, GLA
375mg linoleic acid
80mg oleic, palmitic, stearic and alpha-linolenic acids

Hopefully this helps you out. Maybe you can find another evening primrose oil brand that has these same or similar ingredients online or at a store where you live.

Hi kc1!

And are there effects? Does EPO help you?

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

I actually stopped taking all oils altogether, to stop the stomach problems, and to my surprise, nothing changed.
It turns out the stomach problems are due to stress.
So, I started taking the oils again, and I started taking Imodium AD for my stomach.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

that sounds like just a bigger capsule of evening primrose oil. Worth a try.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

Jason, please stop posting links to the Paxil thread. We all know it exists. There is useful information there, but it doesn't help anything to fill up this thread with links to that thread.
And I believe there is also useful information in this thread.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

I have slight KP on my legs. I used to have it on my arms, but that cleared up for some reason (before I started taking the EPO).
I don't think the Whole Foods brand contains Vitamin E. Only EPO. (I just finished a bottle and threw it away, and haven't bought a new one yet. So can't look at it now)

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

It is worth a try to try some non whole foods brand. The oil is pretty cheap.

Yeah I'm sure other brands will work, but I've had success with whole foods so I've just stuck with it. I do know that when I took the gnc brand for a couple of weeks it did not work for me for some reason.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

Glad to hear you found something that works for you though!!! It is exciting, isn't it? I do suggest, instead of taking fiber supplements, try getting it from food. Always better that way!

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

I find that suggestion ridiculous. What source do you have for this claim?
