Hello,
Cytomid is Flutamide which is an antiandrogen. It blocks the activity of testosterone, a hormone produced by the body.
There is no harm in taking the supplements you have mentioned.
There may be interaction with supplements that have plant hormones and used in treatment of menstrual disorders etc.
Wish you good health.
