I seem to remember that this is something that helps with hormones? Anyone know of any evidence? I suspect my tall 9yo is suffering with her hormones...

I think you have to be fairly careful with Evening primrose oil don't you? Or am I thinking of St John's wort?

If someone more knowledgable comes along I'd love to know because if it's safe I will start dousing our 11 year old with it!!

EPO can help PMT symptoms, and moody hormone symptoms yes.

No need to be careful with it. unless have a bleeding disorder.
