Question: I am 33 years old woman. I am on thyroid pill 75mcg thyronorm which I take on empty stomach. I am trying to loose some weight. Is it fine to take some vitamins(C,E and beta carotene) and minerals (zinc, chromium, selenium) after my post workout meal? If yes, can you tell me some brands in India in which I can have all these vitamins and minerals? Please advise.

Thank you for asking your question. I understand your problem as well as the concern.

After going through your history I got to know that you have got thyroid problem and you are taking, Tab- Thyronorm 75mcg tablet on empty stomach.

So the answer is YES you can definitely take after your post workout meal.

2) Your second query is about brands of all these vitamins and minerals in India?

So the answer is again YES. There is a lot of "Brands" of these vitamins & minerals containing medicines are available in India, they are as follows:-
