Meant to write low levels T3 lol

Sorry, but why do you think taking magnesium is going to raise your T3 level?

Hi but I was under the impression that certain supplements like magnesium are necessary to help convert T4 to to T3 if T4 isn't converting in enough quantities.

Am new to this and still trying to to get my head around the dizzying array of information needed to understand my thyroid issues. So could be totally wrong in my assumption.

I really don't think magnesium is involved in conversion. Iron, zinc, and especially selenium, yes. Magnesium is more to do with converting vit D into its usable form.

Not saying that you don't need magnesium, you more than likely do because most people are deficient. But if you're counting on it raising your FT3 level, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.

Have you tried taking selenium? If not, and you decide to buy some, what you want is l-selenomethionine 200mcg, but I don't have any brands to recommend because I can't take it, it upsets my stomach.

Glad to know, for some reason magnesium just doesn’t agree with me 👍
