Supplements and best way to take them

Hi just looking for some advice on supplements. I am using Iron and B12 sprays, I also take cod liver oil capsules once a day and d3 tablets when I can fit them in. I also started using collegen peptides powder 3 weeks ago and read there are no known interactions with that. The problem is some of what I am using should be taken in the morning but that's a bit difficult because of levo. As the Iron and B12 are sprays can I take the daily dose of both at the same time so that I don't forget which I have done on occasions. I have been gluten free for 14 months and almost all of my symptoms have gone. I guess I have been diagnosed with celiac due to previous blood tests though no-one has told me that. I had two telephone consults with a reumatologist last year and after the december one GP offered me gluten free prescriptions. Still waiting for a gene test.

It is often suggested that bed-time dosing results in slightly better absorption. It also seems slightly closer to the pattern healthy people have.

I have always taken my levothyroxine at bed-time.

For that reason, I cannot compare with taking in the morning.

Before diagnosis, my sleep was badly disturbed. Typically, I would fall asleep fairly easily. Then wake up after something like half an hour to two hours. Once woken I'd be unable to get back to sleep - often till dawn, or at all.

Once I started on levothyroxine, my sleep slowly improved. By the time I was taking an adequate dose, bad nights were unusual - just an occasional night where I might wake up for a while. Now, after years, I sleep very easily and deeply and rarely wake at all. If I do, I get back to sleep quickly.

We have some who prefer it; we have others who prefer other times. See our poll:
