Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I recall hearing somewhere that taking a multivitamin with Iron close to the time of your thyroid meds interferes with absorption. Is that true? I have made a point of purchasing vitamins without Iron, but am not sure if this is even right? I found some really great supplements that I want to start taking but want to confirm whether or not the Iron is an issue since they contain Iron. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think it's Iron, Calcium and Fiber that should be taken at least 4 hours away from thyroid.
