does anyone take Symprove? Really want to try it but it says I need to take a minimum of 2hrs away from thyroid medication, which just won’t work to me 😖

Symprove has been mentioned here before and I believe there are a few members who have taken it. The search facility has shown a few posts:

I know that Symprove is very expensive and if they say it must be taken 2 hours away from thyroid meds and you can't possibly follow that timing then personally I wouldn't waste my money on something that possibly wont work if you don't follow their guidance.

About 12 years ago, I took it for 4 months and never felt any different. I think it was about £22 per bottle then, so am sure it would be more now. A lot of money to feel exactly the same!

RoseStar,

I haven’t taken this exact gut support so can’t comment on its effectiveness.

Symprove needs an empty stomach, 15 minutes before food, but my thyroid meds take precedence over everything else and I like to take them first thing on an empty stomach and have breakfast an hour later.

Therefore, if this were me I would slot the Symprove in 15 minutes before lunch.

If you are multi-dosing thyroid meds you could take your second dose late afternoon well away from both food and Symprove.
