Hi Kimiko

I agree with janetllc that Efamol is the best...
I recently spoke to a few pharmacists and they are reasoning to me why Efamol is the best not because they are working in a pharmacy.

I did my research and also was told that when buying EPO products, do check the % of GLA available in each capsule. The higher the %, the purer the EPO & it will be more effective. Having said that, Efamol is also the leading company in EPO research. The product itself is from UK and that each capsule contains 33% GLA...so, the expensive price we are paying is worth it.

I have came across people that I know taking Efamol and have seen great results over the years but then for acne-proned skin, it has to be taken at least 3-6mths before you will notice the results...and acne popping during the initial stage of consuming is perfectly normal as the oil is working on balancing your hormone...

As for other brand, their GLA % is low per capsule and even if 1300mg EPO, you are only getting 80mg of GLA where else...Efamol offers about 115mg per 1000mg (meaning two 500mg capsules) .... so, you are paying for something worth the price...

I also found that instead of buying at Watson's or Guardian...getting Efamol at independent pharmacy or not so popular pharmacy like Caring....you might get even cheaper price on sales period....For instant, say at Guardian, you might need to pay RM245 for twin pack (250+free 50 capsule) = 600 capsules... but at independent pharmacy or Caring MidValley, now the selling price is RM229 for twin packs or RM123++ for 300 capsule per bottle.....Check them out...
