TEA AND SUPPLEMENTS

[malawi]

Hi All
Does drinking herbal tea or taking multi vitamin supplements interfere in any way with synthroid?.I am a very early riser so i usually take my synthroid dose around 430am and usually eat breakfast around 615am..i have a cup of herbal tea with breakfast and then take my 1st multivitamin around 1030am 6 hours after taking synthroid..then i have more tea and multivitamins in the evening..just wondering if this routine is interacting ok with the synthroid

Sounds right to me. Just about how I take them, except I don't take multi's.
I take them all separate (over 30) because multi's are for healthy people to aid in keeping them healthy, and I am not healthy.
Except,  I take my selenium and chromium at bed time which is normally around 12 or 1 AM.

Tea contains  Fluoride, which is not good for thyroid.

However I am sure we all have our little ittosincoces that we won't give up, like I won't give up my coffee ;)
