Health Information: EPO contains high amounts of GLA, a triply unsaturated Omega 6 EFA derivative. Under certain conditions of illness and dietary deficiency, our body may be unable to make GLA from LA (Omega 6) and EPO can compensate for this inability. As much as 10-25% of affluent populations could benefit from its use. GLA is an intermediate in the production of prostaglandins, with hormone-like regulating functions affecting heart, arteries, menstrual cycle, glands, kidneys, joints, mental function and metabolic rate.

EFA expert Udo Erasmus recommends that if you have cancerous tumours you must take EPO (Omega 6) with Omega 3 (Flax oil or fish oil).
