I love P-5-P and zinc as well. In fact I've been on zinc for a number of years, well before I got any sort of knowledge about nutrition and vitamins.

I was unwillingly sent to a Christian therapist by my darling well-intentioned Mother whilst suffering severely from bulimia in my teenage years. The best thing she ever did was give me a 'taste' zinc test, and immediately give me a big bottle of liquid zinc, which I took every day for the next two months. There was much improvement. I think I must have been extremely deficient (well, that's common with bulimics).

Alas, I did not continue the treatment, but remember vividly during college starting to take Centrum (which has 15mg zinc) and feeling better. I have taken zinc ever since, but in larger doses.

I don't take the P5P every day - I think I'm scared it's efficacy will wear off or some silly notion if I take it all the time. I save it for when I'm feeling anxious mixed-up horrid PMSy.

There is a possibility I have destroyed some of my absorption abilities in my stomach through years of purging - which would explain why I can't make P5P - or maybe. There's just no way of telling.

Interesting about the NO. Interestingly, one of the first things I noticed from taking the fish oil was a re-emergence of my long-dormant sex-drive, much to my husband's delight. I originally put this down to reintroducing saturated fat and animal products to my diet (which followed immediately after taking the fish oil - realizing a vegan diet was not obviously optimal for me), but now I think it is the fish oil.

Anwyay with the EPO, I have found taking borage oil has cleared up some psoriasis on my eyebrows. I think it's true about taking fish oil with GLA source to combat inflammation. I think this because long ago I bought a huge tub of EPO to combat really horrible eczema I had whilst in an even more horrid job. It didn't work. In fact the eczema got worse and I was taking a lot of EPO. I then bought fish oil, and unwittingly took this INSTEAD of the EPO, not knowing the theory. Again, no improvement. Pity, as I did notice mood improvement after the fish oil. If only I'd known to combine these two.
