Answer
You are right to check any interactions with ARVs first.
In these examples, all are fine to take with any ARV combination.
Omega-3 can reduce tryglcerides (and cholesterol to a lesser extent) and can reduce risk of heart disease when diet changes haven’t rediced these to target levels.
Multivitamins are fine too are green tea and rooibos tea.
Hi Vivian, it isa safe to take these. As with most supplements it is best to take them on the opposite end of the day to your ARVs. e.g., if your ARVs are taken at 8am, take these super appetite pills at 8pm. This just helps to make sure there are no interactions.

Hi Uche, yes you can do this. There is no interaction when you take them in split doses as you have suggested.
