Does moringa interfere with thyroid medication?

I have thyroid issues and my doctor simply told me not to take any green powders or soy products near my pill time. If you want to eat drumsticks in your sambar, that is totally fine. Just don't go eating heavy moringa tablets.

Look, thyroid medication has to be taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning with nothing else. Don't mix moringa or any other supplement with it. Keep them completely separate, or better yet, ask your doctor before starting.

Oh, I didn't know moringa could affect thyroid pills. I was thinking of buying the powder for my mother who has hypothyroidism, should I avoid it completely then?

I love my food too much to restrict things, but thyroid meds are tricky. To be safe, I just stick to eating drumsticks in my curries rather than messing with strong supplements that might clash with my daily prescription.

Yes, it can interfere. My doctor explained that moringa can affect how your thyroid gland produces hormones and can also reduce the absorption of levothyroxine in your gut. If you plan to use it, you must monitor your TSH levels regularly.
