I have an alergy to the sun and I am also hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s disease.   My dermatologist has prescribed a supplement to prepare my skin and protect it from the sun.  The supplement contains soy bean oil (without GMO) and soy lecithin.  The Soy bean oil is the second ingredient listed on the box which means there is a lot.  Is this supplement safe for me to take?
