A member asked:
Will taking both evening primrose oil and flaxseed oil help with hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!: Only brand name T4 replacement will help w/hypothyroidism. Besides, the two oils won't do anything but shrink your wallet, and primrose oil has potential toxicity. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.
