Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) = Many good properties and is preferred over Borage Oil unless it increases high androgen symptoms. 8% GLA. 1000mg three times per day.
Borage Oil = Very good for PMS. Is a replacement for EPO when EPO causes elevated androgens. Is preferred for topicals over EPO due to the higher GLA content. 23% GLA. 1000mg of Borage Oil once a day at bedtime replaces 1000mg three times per day.
Flaxseed Oil = Plant based Omega 3. Not as bioavailable as high quality fish oil. Raises SHBG.
Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is a precursor to aromatase.
