Magnesium

Form used in ThyroLove

DiMagnesium Malate (150mg)

Why it’s in ThyroLove

Magnesium is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies, and it is absolutely essential for those with Hashimoto’s. It supports energy production, relaxation, nervous system regulation, and thyroid hormone conversion. ThyroLove uses DiMagnesium Malate, a patented chelated form that binds magnesium to malic acid. This form is highly absorbable, gentle on digestion, and has the added benefit of supporting mitochondrial energy. We included 150 mg, which is a meaningful dose and much higher than what most multivitamins provide, which is why those others don’t often make a real difference. I chose this form and amount because it’s well tolerated and effective, without causing the digestive upset that many people experience with other types of magnesium.

The Science

• Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, many of which are directly related to thyroid function, hormone balance, and adrenal support.
  

• It plays a role in converting T4 to T3, which is crucial for producing enough of the active thyroid hormone.
  

• Stress, chronic inflammation, caffeine, and common medications can all deplete magnesium stores, which may worsen symptoms like fatigue, irritability, constipation, or muscle cramps.
  

• The malate component helps support mitochondrial energy production, making this form of magnesium especially helpful for people experiencing low energy or chronic fatigue.

• People with Hashimoto’s often experience low stomach acid, which can make it harder to absorb minerals from food. Using a chelated form like DiMagnesium Malate helps bypass that issue and ensures better uptake.
