The RLT and Evening primrose thread

Hi all

the original thread has gotten SOOOOOOOOOOOOO long i cant find any of the info i need

so can we have a factual thread - and if possible can we make it a sticky so everyone knows the facts

so i'd like to know

1. When to start taking RLT and Evening primrose tablets ?
2. RLT in tablet form or tea form?
3. How many milligrams of the tablets ???
4. where to purchase RLT and evening primrose ?? UK

4. I bought rlt tea bags and capsules from Harold and barretts they also sell evening primrose but I haven't bought them .

I started rlt drink at 32wk and epo at 35wk. I started taking 500mg rlt tablet at around 35wk as i ran out of the tea bags. I purchased all from holland and barrett!

how many cups are you meant to drink at 32 weeks?

The Originall EPO & RLT thread has all the relevant info on the very first page. No need to trawl through it.

However, in answer to your questions (for me personally):
1. I started RLT at 28 weeks cus I like the taste, only one cup a day - will up it to two at 32 weeks.
2. Tea form is supposedly more effective and really doesn't taste that bad, plus it adds to your daily water intake
3. Dunno
4. You can purchase Clipper RLT at big tesco stores and EPO from boots, supermarkets, anywhere

1. I started with 1 cup of RLT a day at 32 weeks, have now upped that to 2 cups a day at 34 weeks. I'm going to start EPO at 35 weeks, there's conflicting views on whether it should be started at 34 or 36 weeks, so I'm going with 35.

2. Tea form is meant to be more effective. I put 1 sugar in it and drink it when it's warm, I don't like it hot and I don't like it cold!

3. Not sure about this one as I'm drinking the tea, sorry...

4. I bought Clipper RLT from Tesco, it was on offer I also bought my EPO tablets from tesco.

I get lots of braxton hicks when I drink RLT so it must be doing something!

i started my RLT tea bags yesterday, im only having 1 cup a day until 34 weeks. i have one sugar with it too.

I bought RLT from Holland and Barrett, and have been having 2 cups a day since 32 weeks. I'm having 3 a day from tomorrow (36 weeks) and hopefully starting EPO this week too. Not sure how much or how to take it though.

Note holland and barrett are having a deal on atm...buy one get one half price on any thing in store! (so tea or capsules)
