Is taking Magnesium Supplements not advised with Levo?

[Sama999]

I've read somewhere (sorry for vagueness) that taking Magnesium Supplements with Thyroid pharma drugs can cause issues. Any thoughts on this? Mag is very important but recent bloods have come back indicating low function and I am having antibody blood test and throat scan this week.

Thyroid replacement is a hormone, not a pharma drug.

Magnesium causes absorption issues with Levothyroxine, but only if taken within 4 hours of it. So its safe to take so long as they are well spaced apart.
