Serrapeptase and Thyroid Medication

For years I've been taking serrapeptase for arthritis. I just started taking thyroid medication (Armour) for hypothyroidism due to the removal of 1/2 my thyroid gland a few years ago. Since I have to take both serrapeptase and Armour on an empty stomach, I asked my MD if I could take them at the same time first thing in the morning (as I've been taking serrapeptase this way for years). She's not familiar with serrapeptase, so I'm hoping someone here on earthclinic has some experience taking these together?

Hello,

Serrapeptase and Armour, both, must be taken on a completely empty stomach and can not be taken together. The enzyme will interact with the thyroid medication. An empty stomach means a minimum 1 hour before meals and 2-3 hours after meals.
