It has never been a problem previously but two blood tests in the last year (since starting levothyroxine) have shown a low

Daily multivitamins do not help people live longer, major study finds
The taking of general multivitamins has long been questioned here on this forum. The article specifically identifies iron: [i]Meanwhile iron, which is added to many multivitamins, can lead to iron overload and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia.[/i] I think we'd also advocate

However I am wondering if I should be using injectable Folic 5mg instead. My problem is malabsorption due
