Kevin
I take dessicated 3x per day. 90mg at 6AM and 30mg 11AM just before lunch. Then just 15mg at 4 PM. I used to snack all day, so some times the 4PM I do sublingually if I'm hungry.
On a similar schedule, you could take supplements that are not minerals with lunch. Minerals need to be 3-4 hrs apart from 'swallowed' thyroid meds. So zinc, selenium are best at dinner (6 pm) or possibly mid morning. But Mag may interfere more in the stomach with thyroid med absorbion, and mag makes me sleepy so I take it before bed - aids in sleeping too if you get non-oxide mag.
Oxide mag does very little , if anything. The grocery store most likely does not have good magnesium - its the oxide type if you read the back label.
