Yes because magnesium helps the body convert D3 into it's usable form.

Normal dose of magnesium is around 350-450mg.

You would need to choose the right form of magnesium for your needs:

The following link is included purely to describe the different forms of magnesium, ignore the fact that it mentions calcium is necessary, calcium is only necessary if you test and found to be deficient and then your GP should address that

and ignore the fact that this is a supplement company, the information is relevant:

Magnesium should be taken 4 hours away from thyroid meds and as it tends to be calming it may be best taken in the evening.

Vit D should also be taken 4 hours away from thyroid meds.

Did you know that Vit K2-MK7 is another important cofactor of D3? D3 aids absorption of calcium from food and K2-MK7 directs calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed and away from arteries and soft tissues where it can be deposited and cause problems like calcification of arteries, kidney stones, etc.

Vit K2-MK7 should be taken 2 hours away from thyroid meds.

Don't take D3 and K2 at the same time unless both are oil based supplements, they both are fat soluble vitamins which require their own fat to be absorbed otherwise they will compete for the fat.
