Thyroid medication

[bandabelen]

I recently take synthroid and I am interested in taking herbalife protein shake wich has soy fiber will it interact with my medicine

Studies on soy and thyroid health indicate that soy does not adversely affect thyroid hormone levels or the thyroid gland in healthy individuals consuming sufficient iodine. According to the Synthroid Prescribing Information, soybean flour and fibre in general reduces the absorption of the active components. Physicians often recommend taking thyroid medication a few hours separated from soy consumption, although the effect may be minimal.

Very wise...I was one of those OTC low birth moms Twice

I cannot answer about how bc would/could effect thyroid meds as I didnt start my thyroid meds until recently and Ive been post-medical-menopausal for 6 years now.

My doc now wants me to take medication to lower chol. How has your experiences been with Cycladol? Do you have other illnesses too? Are you on other medications with the Cycladol?
