How to arrange timing
Consider monitoring thyroid function when combining these supplements, especially if you have thyroid conditions.

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
