Magnesium

[Clairwellock]

I keep seeing magnesium mentioned to help with sleep.

But wi it upset my thyroxine.

I took evening promise oil before and it made me so ill as it made my thyroid pills stop working.

You could use Magnesium Oil by Better You - or bathe in Epsom Salts Am not aware of Magnesium upsetting levo - but I could be missing something....

[MrsRaven]

I hope not because I have been taking it for ages. I do take it at night before I go to bed, though, and take levo and T3 in the morning before I get up.

I have taken Evening Primrose Oil for years and it has made no difference to my thyroid medication. How are you sure it was that?

[Fruitandnutcase]

I use what Marz recommends. I often have a bath with a cup of magnesium flakes and some lavender oil in it or I often spray the Better You magnesium oil onto the soles of my feet and go to bed with socks on - I usually get fed up with the socks and pull them off and throw them out of the bed in the middle of the night.

just remember best not to take any supplement within 4 hours of meds and none should effect thyroid meds absorbing...

Hi There is a blood test for magnesium but safest just to have it in food as it can be dangerous to kidneys and heart unless medically supervised.
