Iron (ferrous bisglycinate) and Levothyroxine can be taken together, but the combination needs a precaution.
Why these two interact

Separate by about 4 hours.
Timing
Separate Iron (ferrous bisglycinate) and Levothyroxine by at least 4 hours. Taking them in the same window is what causes the issue, not taking them on the same day.
