Dr Christopher recommended taking 1 TBSP of wheat germ oil three times per day with the hormone formula. I used to try to do this, but I detest the taste of the wheat germ - it literally gags me, so I take in capsules. I am forever grateful to the genius who made it so easy to take! Wheat germ oil is mostly made up of vitamin E which is extremely important for the chemistry to take place in making the hormones from the precursors. However, as long as there was some wheat germ oil in the combination, I think it would be alright to use a mixture of something like evening primrose oil, and flax oil. It is important to get the right kinds of fats/oils every day of our life. If we were getting enough of the right kinds of oils and enough water to drink every day, we could put the moisturizing business out of business. We wouldn't need hand lotion, moisturizers, face creams, chap stix or anything like unto it because our skin would have all the moisture it needed.
