Magnesium

[Sylvia22]

Hi all, I have been taking magnesium Malaga and it seemed very good less aches better bowel movement but this last few days I have had stomach cramp and also the muscle pain came back a bit. Didn't feel that well generally. I have been taking 424mcg daily in divided doses. Do you think I need to stop taking it.

How far away from your thyroid hormone replacement are you taking it? You should leave six hours between magnesium and thyroid hormone - which is a bit difficult if you're taking it in several doses, I know, but...

I usually tale the first dose about three hours after thyroxine. Maybe I should just take the magnesium at night

Might be a good idea.

Hi,

I take chelated magnesium at bedtime, which is supposed to be the easiest to absorb. Magnesium citrate is supposed to be best for constipation.

I take magnesium malate in the morning and my Levo at night.
