Cod liver oil & levothyroxine

[Rennixon]

Quick question- is there any reason I shouldn’t take my cod liver oil capsules with my levo?

[SlowDragon Administrator]

Yes definitely take at least four hours away

Levothyroxine requires as acidic environment as possible. It should always be taken on its own, on empty stomach and nothing apart from water for at least an hour after

Many take on waking, but it may be more convenient and possibly more effective taken at bedtime

Many people find Levothyroxine brands are not interchangeable. Once you find a brand that suits you, best to make sure to only get that one at each prescription. Watch out for brand change when dose is increased

Thank you. I’ll make sure to take it away from levo

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

Cod liver oil contains Vit D. Vit D should be taken 4 hours away from Levo. Best keep them well apart.

Oh - didn’t know that ( reminder to read labels) thanks for the info.

Omega 3 is better. Liver cleans the organs so bottom of the pile. If you’re looking for fatty oils Omega 3 can’t be beaten.

MCT oil is good for the brain it's colorless and taste less too.

Yes don't take it together I take my NDT at 6am and then Omega 3 oil at around 8am
