Taking Magnesium

[Beansprog]

I had some amazing advice on here a few months back and streamlined the supplements that I was taking. I am hypothyroid and take 100mg of thyroxine. I also take 10mg of Citalopram.

I am on ferrous sulphate, vit D spray, Igennus Super b complex and have added in Igennus triple magnesium complex.

I have found that since adding the magnesium in I am getting headaches and not sleeping very well despite taking it earlier in the day. This could be coincidence as it a teacher and it’s half term so I’m exhausted!

Any thoughts? Thank you

There are lots of types of magnesium. Check which one you're taking and try a different type? I also suspect magnesium gives me a headache at times

It’s a triple one- this:

Triple Magnesium Complex

Perhaps time to retest thyroid levels

What were your most recent TSH, Ft4 and Ft3

Happy half term!

Check you aren’t dehydrated, as a teacher I drink about eleventybillion cups of half hot half cold tea a day and at home…. about 2.

Magnesium citrate would have me rather more regular that I would like. I can only tolerate alternating days of biglycinate.

Keep magnesium well away from Levo dose, hours and hours away.

Rest and recuperate, you could have a cold coming.
