Hi
You taking supplements as omega 3, vitamins and minerals; extra zinc and potassium, Kelp, Glucosamine, Ginseng and beta carotene from natural and Paracetamol for your Overweight, hypothyroidism, arthritis, spondylitis problem. Addition of CLA(Conjugated Linoleic Acid ) will enhance your weight reduction. A dosing of 3.4 grams daily of CLA is necessary to get the benefits. Till now no interactions CLA has been reported. Sometimes side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea etc., may occur.
