EPO is a new chemical which is said to enhance memory function. I was wondering if it could be used before a voyage resulting in better remembering the experience. Erythropoetin is a hormone which our body can produce on its own. Now there seems to be a synthetic version of it. I have found very little information about it at the time.

Wouldn't be too useful I'm afraid... erythropoietin is actually a protein and well known for quite some time (as opposed to a "new chemical". As a protein it is a big big chemical and not something that could be eaten and absorbed as such. As a matter of fact, one's digestive tract is designed to break down proteins and absorb them as their constituent amino acids. This is what would happen to some poor EPO if eaten....

So if one wants to use it properly, it has to be injected (IM or IV), just like insulin.

But the idea is sound, should one feels like to start injecting him/herself!

I would never inject anything.. just not my style. But for people who do it anyway they could probably inject a EPO/DMT solution. Does EPO take effect right away? Or would one need to be given the EPO shot in advance?
