Supplements can be taken 4 hours apart from levo. I take all of mine at lunch.

Thankyou Shaws, Glad I can take them altogether, easier to remember.

VitD is fat soluble so best eaten with a smidgen of something cooked in coconut oil - courgettes slices ?? Selenium on an empty stomach. B12 works with Folic Acid and sorry that's all I know. I take mine in the morning an hour after my early after breakfast coffee :-) I use B12 patches though.

Thankyou Marz, Coconut oil sounds good, not so sure about the courgettes,not one of my favourite veg. Is it ok to start taking all 4 supplements at the same time.joan

.....am sure it will be fine. Follow shaws advice and take them well away from the levo. You could use anything in the coconut oil - an egg even for more VitD :-)
