Medication Schedule Suggestions 😊

β€’5 Replies

Hi Folks,

I am currently reviewing the way I take my meds and supplements in the hope of preventing adverse interactions and get the most out of them.

This is the list of what I am either taking, or intend to (I hate pill popping, so not always too regimented on what and when I take)....

Thyroid S : 2.5 - 2.75 grains depending on batch (Split dosing taken AM around 7, and PM between 3 and 5pm)

Vit D3, B Vits, C, Zinc.... With Evening Meal 6-7.30pm

Bone Balance Collegan Peptides Powder.... Mid morning (not everyday, but need to for osteoporosis)

Potassium.... Just purchased. With Evening Meal 6-7.30pm. Recommended to promote increased bone density

Selenium .... Just Purchased. With Evening Meal. Thought be helpful for Hashimoto's

Iron Sachets..... Not taken for a while, but with Evening Meal or Mid Afternoon. To try and help with hair loss and fatigue.

Any suggestions on how and when all this can be taken without one cancelling out the other would be gratefully recieved πŸ˜„.

Thanks in advance 😊

Where to start πŸ˜…

Couple of hours away from Thyroid S

Iron 2-4 hours away from anything else... though I doubt the sachets contain much, do you need iron?

B Vits before noon as can be stimulating some say keep Vit C away from it some contain Vit C πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Vit D with a fatty meal if tablets or easier option is to use a sublingual, with fat included & K2.... you can take this whenever then

BoneBalance I have in my first cuppa of the day

Selenium no more than 100mcg daily, I've found it makes me feel a bit ick half hour after taking so now take it with food

Potassium ideally with magnesium often taken before bed as a relaxant

Zinc and copper are important for bones, do you know you are low in zinc? As one rises it lowers the other, have you looked into boron πŸ™ƒ

So I tend to have a morning / evening split

After breakfast tablets... B vits, C (buffered or ester-c), zinc, selenium, heme iron and boron a couple of times a week.... sublingual Vit D&K, B12

(If it suits you to take them with your evening meal then go ahead but maybe swap B Vits to am if they effect you)

Evening magnesium

Truth is you are better off taking them whenever rather than them sitting in the pots so do what you can πŸ€— some days I'm much better than other but that's no bad thing either!

Thanks TiggerMe. Helpful info there. To be honest, I'd rather take everything in one pill the size of a grain of salt 🀣... Dream on πŸ˜΄πŸ™„πŸ˜„

I'm with you there! Or if it came in a nice tasting handy snack bar πŸ˜‹ I much prefer the sublingual route where possible

Now there's an idea πŸ’‘. Create a vitamin/mineral fortified chocolate bar, each with vitamins that can be taken together and another with other vits that go together, and heh ho, a prescription of two or even three chocolate bars daily for ultimate health. Wow, revolutionise health supplementation. We'd be millionaires ££$€$ 🀣🀣
