B12 and D3

I only take T3 first thing in the morning, & am about to embark on a proper regime to take D3 and B12. I also take Calcium with magnesium, boron & vit K for my bones, and I take high dose vit C.

Is it ok to take all these supplements fairly close together? Thanks.

I take all supplements together at lunchtime as most have to be taken with food. As long as you keep them far apart from your levo dose.

Vitamins should be taken separately from minerals as they can affect each other's absorption.  Personally speaking, I taken my vitamins 2 hours after my thyroid meds and minerals a further 4 hours after that.  It makes for an interesting schedule sometimes!

Marigold22,

Most supplements should be taken 2 hours away from T3.  Calcium and vitD should be taken 4 hours away.
