Does SeroVital-hgh Interfere With Sythroid Tablets?
Question: Does SeroVital-hgh interfere with hormones? It says it is a combo of amino acids used to stimulate our body's own human growth hormone. For example, I have hypothyroidism and take Synthroid. Also, I take bio identical hormones as HRT.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
Serovital contains aminoacid such as arginine, lysine and glutamine.
None of these aminoacid supplements interferes with thyroid or HRT.
The only problem is that levothyroxine should be taken fasting with empty stomach and serovital should be taken 1 or 2 hours before food too.
So the morning dose may be skipped to be sure that it will not interfere with levothyroxine absorption. Anyway, six weeks after starting it, TSH level should be checked.
Hope i have been helpful.
Kind regards,

I am currently taking bio identical hormones. I am currently on Estradiol 1.75mg 1x daily and Progesterone 200mg 1x daily. I am 48 and weigh 128lbs. I feel like this is too much for me. I am experiencing break through bleeding; bloating; cramping; & blurred vision. I was thinking I should take a much lower dosage but would like a second opinion please.

You should report your symptoms to your treating physician. He/she will check the estradiol and progresterone level in blood to judge about the dose, if they are elevated the dose will be decreased.
