General recommendation for supplements is:

Most supplements should be taken 2 hours away from Levo.

Some supplements should be taken 4 hours away from Levo and these are:

Iron

Vit D

Magnesium

Calcium

The ones you have mentioned in your post above are all fine to take 2 hours away from Levo. Whether or not you take them with food you'll need to check what it says on the label. If it doesn't say then the choice to take with or without food would be yours. If a supplement taken without food upsets your stomach then try taking it with food.

Thanks SeasideSusie , I was more concerned about whether I could take them together without one interfering with the absorption of another. I haven't found anything that suggests I shouldn't online, but then I missed that my high dose zinc should be taken away from my high dose magnesium. My googling skills are not what they were!
