Right I am or viridian rhodiola complex (consists of various adoptenic herbs such as ashwaganda, ginseng etc ) I take my NdT at 6am and the adoptenic herbs at 7am and NDt split dose at 14pm and another adoptenic herb at 12pm cause I been told by viridian not to take adoptenic herbs later then 12pm. My naturopath has suggested me that it’s ok to take on empty stomach and it won’t interfere with Ndt but viridian (the company produce these herbs) told me not to take later then 12 pm as this will interfere with melatonin production later on before sleep plus it must be taken four hrs apart. What to do now ? Iam confused please give me any advice what I can do ?

The advice is to take Levo on it's own and no other medication or supplements for 2 hours either side (some need four hours but these generally are Vit D, calcium, iron, magnesium, HRT, oestrogen, PPIs). As NDT contains T4 then if it was me I'd treat it the same as Levo and leave 2 hours.
