Magnesium, iron help

[nickyinnotts]

Hi does anyone know if you can take ferrous sulfate and magnesium together, or would it be best to space them out? x

Magnesium competes with iron for absorption so they need to be taken apart. There are so many things that inhibit iron absorption that I tend to take mine on its own with orange juice just before I go to bed

Oh I know how you feel! At one point I was on D3, K2, folate, glutathione, trace mineral drops, magnesium, iron, B12 and thyroid meds - that was a blinkin' nightmare!
