Supplements

[cosgrove]

Thank you for your help. I have another query if anyone knows the answer. I have been reading about probiotic supplements and the link with Parkinson’s disease and mental health. As Parkinson’s is in my family I would like to take these to reduce the chances of getting this. I also get anxious at times and apparently gut health influences this. I think probiotics are just live cultures so would this interfere in any way with levothyroxine ?

As you're advised to take probiotics with food or within 30 minutes of food, they will be separated from your Levo in any case if you are taking the latter duly separated from food; and the American Thyroid Association says that keeping two hours between the probiotics and Levo has no effect on thyroid levels according to this study thyroid.org/patient-thyroid...

Anxiety is common symptom when under medicated on Levothyroxine
