Hm...one of the Fish oil's Ruth and I are taking has 152 mg of GLA as well as the others. (ALA, DHA, EPA). I also think Udo's oil that we throw into protein shakes has some Evening Primrose Oil in it, but I can't check the bottle as we are out!

I wonder if taking the oils helped her chemo/Herceptin... I like to think so.
