Magnesium biglycinate and levothyroxine - spacing of meds

[clarityforest]

Hi All

I want to start taking magnesium biglycinate at night to help me sleep. I take my levothyroxine at night too.

I usually take supplements in the day and the reason I wanted to take the thyroxine at night was because I wanted to avoid any contraindication issues that might occur. I know I will need to space out the magnesium and take it before as I obviously don't want to negate the effects of thyroxine. If anyone has done the same or can advise about time spacing of the two I would be grateful to hear what they've done.

I will start tonight and take the magnesium a few hours before but it would be good to hear what others have done, or if I am going to have to re-think how I take the thyroxine completely.

Thanks

Clarity

There should be a 4 hour time span between levothyroxine and magnesium....if you take your magnesium glycinate at 5 pm , then you can take your levothyroxine anytime after 9 pm.

Take magnesium 4 hours before taking levothyroxine at bedtime

I take magnesium glycinate and valerian root at 6pm and my levo at 10pm. I have sleep apnea and this regimen works out fine for me

Interesting! Does it help you? Do you sleep well?

I'm in the middle of getting my apnea sorted so no I dont sleep well. That said, taking these supplements help me greatly. Been on this supplement combo for several yrs now

I leave a 1-2 hour gap and this works fine for me
