I have been taking the meds for about 3 weeks now.
I keep my Synthroid out on the dresser so that when I get up in the wee hours of the morning to wee (haha), not long before I get up anyway, I take it then so that by the time I get up at least an hour has past. I think my mother does the same thing. The hour works for food but not your supps. That you would have to wait longer. Maybe take those with your M2 or M3. It is a little bit of a pain, but it is worth it.
