If we no longer have a thyroid….to process iodine….why is it that my dr is saying not to take vitamins with kelp?? i got some and they have 150 mcg of iodine (as kelp)….will this harm me???? and why??? thanks….
Hello, I seem to recall seeing somewhere that people taking thyroid hormone replacements shouldn’t take vitamin supplements as they might affect blood test results. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Shannon P
It it my understanding that taking vitamines is ok. It is all in the timing. You don’t want to take any vitamines or minerals with your synthroid. Iron in particular will take away the effectiveness of your medication. Its a good rule to take your synthoid on an empty stomach and at the same time every day. hope this helps…Carolyn
