Can Aloevera Juice Be Taken While On Thyroid Medication?
I have recently started taking aloe vera juice. Only a tablespoon. Is it okay to take with medications and vitamins? I also take thyroid medicine first thing in the morning so I m not able to take any vitamins or medications until 4 hours later. I am trying to figure out also when the best time would be to use the juice.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
If you have hypothyroidism, and taking levothyroxine, you can still take Aloe vera juice. After taking Thyroxine tablets first thing in the morning, for about 1 to 1 and 1/2 hour no other food should be taken. Therefore, the juice can be taken around your breakfast time. However, taking aloe vera internally is not considered safe enough, so it is better to avoid. The other vitamins can be taken any time (preferably at a fixed time during the day). Any drug taken with in 2 to 3 hours of taking Throxine may affect its (thyroxine's) absorption. Thanks.
