Do Soy and Synthroid medication for hypothyroidism mix?
Do not mix Soy and Synthroid!
Do you use Synthroid, a medication which is taken for hypothyroidism? Be very careful of the timing if you also use Soy Supplements.
Studies indicate that Soy may interfere with absorption. Soy seems to bind with the active hormone in Syntroid and cause it to be eliminated from the digestive system much faster. That means you will not get the full effect from the medication.
It is not necessary to stay away from soy supplements or foods but don't take them within 4 hours of taking Synthroid or any other medication for hypothyroidism.
