Fenugreek or Borage Oil?

Hello,

I am currently taking Fenugreek, MSM, and Vit-C. I want to add Borage Oil to my program but I am afraid that I might overload my system and not get any results. Should I replace the Fenugreek with Borage Oil or do you think it is safe to go ahead and take both Fenugreek and Borage Oil along with MSM and Vit-C. Any information will greatly be appreciated.

Thank you!
Sonia

Sonia...i amnot very knowledgable but i am learning. I believe i have read on here in the past(it might be in the newbie section) that evening primrose oil has better effects(less chance of side effects) than borage oil....i could be mistaken. i will try to find it and let you know.

Anyone know more than me??????

I have been taking both fenugreek and borage oil, and have seen good growth. I think are many girls who take both.

Borage oil is more potent than EPO, but some are concerned about it causing liver toxicity. The studies I've seen show that the toxins are in the leaves, but not in the oil itself in any significant quantities. I believe you have to take a lot more of the EPO to get the same amount of GLAs.
