We explored the interaction between magnesium sulfate and levothyroxine in managing inflammation related to hypothyroidism. In this study, we used 60 male rats, dividing them into six different groups. These included normals, those given magnesium, hypothyroid rats, and various combinations of treatments with levothyroxine and magnesium.
Our findings showed that hypothyroidism led to an increase in inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, while decreasing vital thyroid hormones. When we treated hypothyroid rats with either levothyroxine or magnesium, these inflammatory markers significantly decreased.
Notably, the rats that received a combination of both treatments experienced the most significant reduction in inflammation. This suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation in hypothyroid conditions might elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Overall, using magnesium and levothyroxine together seems to be more effective in reducing inflammation compared to either treatment alone.

Magnesium's role in hypothyroidismThe Effect of Some Micronutrients Multi-Supplementation on Thyroid Function, Metabolic Features and Quality of Life in Patients Treating With Levothyroxine and Vitamin D: A Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Limited isolated magnesium assessment
We explored how magnesium, as part of a broader supplementation strategy, influences thyroid function and overall well-being in patients with hypothyroidism. In a well-structured study, 104 individuals receiving traditional treatment with levothyroxine and vitamin D were randomly divided into two groups. One group received a combination of essential micronutrients, including magnesium, while the other received placebos over an 8-week period.
Our observations highlighted changes in insulin resistance and quality of life after the intervention, suggesting that micronutrient supplementation could have a bearing on these aspects of health. However, the specifics regarding magnesium's isolated effect on thyroid function were less clear due to the multi-nutritional approach taken in this trial.
While we acknowledge promising results related to quality of life, we must clarify that the study does not provide concrete evidence that magnesium alone significantly improves thyroid function. Further, more focused clinical trials are necessary to ascertain the role of magnesium, allowing for a better understanding of its potential benefits in hypothyroid patients.

Magnesium shows promise in thyroid recoveryProof of concept of the WOMED model of benign thyroid disease: Restitution of thyroid morphology after correction of physical and psychological stressors and magnesium supplementation.
Study highlights mixed effectiveness
We set out to investigate how magnesium, along with selenium and coenzyme Q10, could influence hypothyroidism in patients with benign thyroid diseases. Our approach included a small group of eight patients—five with hyperthyroidism and three with hypothyroidism—who received additional treatment aimed at addressing both their thyroid condition and related physical and psychological stresses.
Over a period of 2 to 4 years, we observed some significant changes. Initially, we focused on correcting musculoskeletal issues, followed by addressing stress. As a result, we noted that thyroid morphology normalized in many cases, which was confirmed through ultrasound examinations. Interestingly, we also saw a reduction in thyroid antibody levels for most patients.
However, we must be transparent about our findings. While magnesium and the other supplements showed promise, there were two cases of chronic thyroiditis that did not respond positively to treatment, possibly due to long-standing fibrosis. This indicates that while magnesium may play a role in thyroid health, its effectiveness can vary significantly based on individual circumstances and the duration of the thyroid condition.

User Reviews
Excellent for hypothyroidism and those experiencing thyroid issues and lymphedema.
After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism and trying hormonal therapy with no improvement, I decided to try magnesium. I've been taking it for less than a week, and I already feel better—no more freezing limbs or constipation. This supplement genuinely works!
Useful magnesium benefits
The quality and ingredients are excellent. I ordered this magnesium alongside thyroid support capsules for my hypothyroidism. It’s useful for relaxation, sleep, and muscle recovery. The packaging is attractive and protects the capsules from light. I look forward to purchasing it again.

This dosage is wonderful for my hypothyroidism, aiding inflammation and muscle recovery from my rigorous training. I highly recommend it.
I take this for my hypothyroidism treatment. It has a good dosage, and I consume it regularly.
