Does anyone know if it’s ok to take magnesium glycinate while on Xarelto (rivaroxaben). I can only find stuff that says it may increase serum levels of magnesium - but I do not know the implication of this 🤷‍♀️ Health history: I have AF and had a TIA years ago, aldi take 2.5mg bisoprolol) Thanks in advance.

This is what Dr Sanjay Gupta has to say about supplementing with magnesium:

As always double check with your GP or EP/Cardiologist as well.

Thank you, Jeanjeannie50. Youtube clip very helpful, and I read loads of posts on the link you gave me - all helpful. The brand I bought is byBarefoot Nutrution, there is only 3 ingredients, vegan. Do here goes! Guess I had better look at coq10 as well. 🥰 have a lovely weekend x.

I’ve been on Rivaroxaban since 2018. I take Magnesium Glycinate as a powder form , by Lamberts . It’s gentle & easy to alter dose to suit as a powder
