Evening primrose oil

[Michelle411A]

Hello! Does anyone know if it is ok to take evening primrose oil before having thyroid blood tests? Will it alter the outcome of the results? I am scheduled to get my thyroid blood work done ( to see if my thyroid is messed up) August 13th. I wanted to start taking evening primrose oil now but I am worried that it may change my blood test results :(  Any info is welcomed and appreciated!
Thanks!
Michelle

Evening Primrose Oil is great for ANY Woman regardless of health issues.
It basically helps with hormonal changes and does allieveate anxiety and stress but does take a few weeks to kick in.

just wondering what you take the evening primrose oil for?

It wont affect your thyroid levels or results in any way as it is not a hormone for the thyroid.
But dont forget to allow 4 hours after thyroid meds when you take it ...usually best taken at bedtime.

All the best :o)
