Can i take the herb kratom if i am taking medication for hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: According to Dr. James Golden from the Betty Ford Center, Kratom is an opiate that can affect thyroid function. Based upon my own exhaustive review of the information on this substance, I cannot recommend it's use. Thank you for your question.
