Interactions between supplements???

[Kathryn1984]

I’m hypothyroid. And I’m trying to conceive after a miscarriage.

I’m going to take:

Magnesium 400mg

Folic Acid 400ug (the symbol is differently but looks most like a u or backwards y)

“Gentle Iron” (the lady at the health food shop said it was better digested) it says on the back it gives 20mg of iron

Selenium 200mcg (with Vitamin C)

Vit D3 (1000iu) with VitK2 (100ug)

I’ll be taking my 100 Levothyrozine when I wake up on an empty stomach with a pint of water. Then waiting an hour to eat or drink anything else.

I’ll take VitD 3 times a day for 2 weeks then reduce to once a day after.

The rest I will take with my evening meal.

Does anyone have any advice to make sure I’m getting the most from the supplements? I don’t want to cancel anything out.

Hmmm...

Iron should be taken on its own, four hours away from levo and two hours away from everything else.

vit D should be taken with a fatty meal, four hours away from levo.

Magnesium should, ideally, be taken six hours away from levo - most people take it at night.

Folic acid (methylfolate would be better) and selenium should be two hours away from levo.

I can't really see how you're going to fit all that in.

Did you have your vitamins/minerals tested before you began to supplement?

I am sorry you had a miscarriage but this website might be helpful and give you a couple of ideas of how best to look afteryourself and baby when pregnant again.
