Hi,

I’m currently supplementing vitamin D3, K2, magnesium citrate and selenium+zinc. I take my levothyroxine in the morning. Then I take vitamin D3 and K2 after my lunch. For magnesium citrate, I take it after my dinner. I just wonder when is the best/right time to take my selenium + zinc ?

Take Zinc, a sleep moderator, with dinner along with Magnesium. Together, to help you have a good night sleep. Selenium with lunch.

But my zinc is combine with selenium together with small amounts of vitamin A,C,E in a single pill. What’s the best time to take it then ?

Evening, then!

Selenium and Vitamin E work in synergy; hence, their inclusion together.

Noted. Thank you ! Then should I space out my magnesium citrate ?

You are welcome! You don't need to space them. You can take Selenium and Magnesium, together, in the evening with your dinner/meal.

Okay. The zinc and vitamins inside the selenium pill will not affect the absorption of magnesium right ?
