I was advised by mu endocrinologist to take my calcium citrate at least 2 hours before or after taking my thyroid medication. To date, all my thyroid levels have been normal on my current dose of Synthroid.

I was low in Calcium and I water the Milk down since I don't want a lot of calories, this is good for me and I was only taking three of them and I was not taking them 100% so I went to five and this is part of why Melatonin works and now it works better, I am not into taking the drugs so I love how this works so well, and I am Leary of the drugs since I hear of the dangers of them more than Anti Vitamin people talking bad about Vitamins and how many have died taking the drugs, they help some so I am glad for them. When I was young I was told not to take drugs and now my doc wants me to take drugs, the difference is one can send you to jail. When the doc gives me drugs, I find a way to overcome any 'benefits', when I take Vitamins, its much harder to do this. Medicaid is paying for these ineffective drugs so I don't mind taking them much.

No apparent side-effects. My nails are looking better than before. They do not split so much and since I started taking my vitamins, I feel better as well.
