Hello,
I am 61 years old and female.
I have to take 1 L-Thyrox 75 in the morning and now I want to lose weight with the following product
LLid ignition soup:
Composition: potato flakes, sweet whey powder, fat powder (soy oil, maltodextrin, milk protein, emulsifier soy lecithin) milk protein, starch, dried seasoning from soy and corn, dextrin, dried onions, salt, dried corn, 1.2g curry, flavor, dicalcium phosphate, dried mushrooms, dried leeks, tricalcium phosphate, turmeric, magnesium hydroxide, anti-caking agent silicon dioxide, L-ascorbic acid, iron diphosphate, DL-alpha-tocopherol, nicotinamide, riboflavin, copper gluconate, zinc oxide, calcium-D-pantothenate, manganese sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamin mononitrate, retinyl acetate, folic acid, sodium iodide, sodium selenite, D-biotin, cholecalciferol, cyanocobalamin.

The PACKAGE INSERT OF L-Thyrox 75 states that one should not eat soy products, is that correct?
Thank you in advance for your message.

Hello,

I am happy to help you further.
Soy contains phytohormones that can be hindering for weight loss. However, I do not see any interaction with L-Thyrox here, so you don't have to worry.

Especially since the mentioned fat powder does not use soy protein as a base. I consider soybean oil and soy lecithin to be absolutely safe here.

Do you have any questions about this? I am happy to help you further.

All the best and good luck.
