Thank you to the people who helped with my results, can I check if I am looking at getting the right things please.
Below are screen shots of what I added to my basket.
I know you shouldn't have iron within 4 hours of levo, but what about the others.. should any of the others be split to different times of the day?
I'm not sure I need the vitamin k, can't remember where I read it, thought it was to help something absorb better?
Also, should I really start everything in one go? Should I introduce one thing at a time and let it start working (to see what helps)? And might my dr prescribe any of this before I buy it? I'm currently on maternity leave and pennies are a bit tight.
Thanks again
We usually recommend that people take vit K2 when taking vit D. If you're not taking vit D - or calcium - then you could probably do without it for the time being.
Don't start taking them all at once. In the unlikely event of one of them disagreeing with you, you wouldn't know which one it was, and would have to start all over again. Leave about two weeks between introducing each one (that way, you can also stagger buying them, so you don't have a huge out-lay to begin with).
It's very doubtful that your doctor would know the first thing about supplements, unless any of your results were well under-range! Even then, he would probably prescribe the wrong thing. You seem to have done a good job selecting just the right things, as far as I can see. 
tilomilo My opinion only
Natures Way Selenium is fine
Thorne Basic B is fine but it does contain 400mcg methylfolate which will bump up your folate level quite a bit and it's already good. You could look for one with less methylfolate if you like, but a high folate level is OK as long as B12 is good.
Ferrous Fumerate is fine - finish the packet of 84 then retest ferritin.
Solgar Sublingual Methylcobalamin is fine
For K2-MK 7 I would not buy the Solgar, purely because there are too many unnecessary ingredients. Have a look at this one
amazon.co.uk/Jarrow-MK-7-90...
Just the K2 and some oil to aid it's absorption. No unncessary fillers. But where's your Vit D?
For Vit C - again I wouldn't buy that, it's got unnecessary fillers. You could just buy some L-ascorbic acid powder and add it to some orange juice. Have a look at this
amazon.co.uk/d/Health-Perso...
There are 181 servings of 2.5g each for £19.99 compared to 100 servings of 1g for £10.82, so the powder gives much better value, a pleasant drink and no fillers.
You know iron should be taken 4 hours away from Levo, the others will be fine if you leave 2 hours.
B Vits are best taken by lunchtime at the latest as they can be stimulating. B Complex with a meal, the B12 doesn't have to be with food as it's sublingual and bypasses the stomach.
Selenium is a mineral and minerals are best taken with your evening meal.
Vit C should be taken at the same time as your iron. But if you use the powder, don't start with the half teaspoon serving as it is 2500mg. That could be too much. If you've got some kitchen scales you could measure out 1 gram. I take a total of 3000mg a day. Too much will cause loose bowels.
Thank you so much
The lab didn't process my vit d request, so going try request it again
If you decide to supplement vit D, you can get drops which include k2:
Thank you I've still got to get vit d tested so will leave the k for now.
As my iron is low I will start with that and the vit c, and take these before bed.
Then I will add the selenium as the reviews on there say how much better they felt after they took them for hashis and hypoT
Do I need to avoid taking this with anything?
I will leave the b12 and b complex until last as my levels aren't too bad
Again, when I start taking this do I need to avoid taking them with any of the others?
Thank you x
One more question sorry, the iron, I think someone said do 5000 for a month and then reduce to 1000 (I think it was the iron), how do I take this many?
My head is swimming with info and I don't think it's going in haha
Thank you
tilomilo It's B12 that's 5000mcg and 1000mcg.
Ferrous Fumarate is one tablet twice a day until you finish the packet then re-test.
i like solgar and have used it for years - they are good quality and I see them working. I have recently come across this one (it is availabe on amazon but cheaper directly), which had d3 at a good dose of 5,000 IU and K2 (2 forms) and a litle of magnesium - all in one pill so I got tempted to try: wellgoodsuperfoods.co.uk/vi.... I've taken about half of the pack and had no reaction/side effects although it contains acacia that some people seem to have problem with.
I also realy like the Thorne B basic complex - I've had it for a few weeks and notice a remarkable impact from something in it (unlikley the b12 as taking the sublinguals already). If you take it you probably won't need the sublingual methylcobalamin unless your absorption from the gut is poor or alternate them like I do now (I like the sublinguals too).
I use Solgar gentle iron, which is weaker than the ones you found and take the vitamin c you found to help absorption. You're not supposed to take anything else with it (a gap of 4 hours is typicaly recomended) and allow 1-2 hours between it and any food.
Hi Sybilla, that link isn't working, please can you tell me the name of it? Thanks
The website is wellgoodsuperfoods.co uk, just search for vitamin d3 as there is only one type they make.
If you drink it through a straw it doesn't.
