Naomi8,
Tea and coffee without milk can affect absorption.
That would include green tea I am guessing as it has cafeine in it.Do you think herbal tea would be OK?I need a small dose of T3 in the mid afternoon but always really need a proper (assam)cup of tea,too!
Naomi8,
No, I don't think anything other than water is okay. Why don't you take your T3 a little earlier if you have a fixed mid afternoon time you must have tea.
I drink organic green tea every day, green tea should always be taken away from food. One hour each side, I take mine at 10.30am
Also anything other than water can interfere with your medication.
Not what you're looking for?
