What kind of interaction is it?

Timing-sensitive: the two substances can be taken on the same day but should be separated by a minimum time window.

Is this interaction backed by published research?

Yes. NutriStack lists 1 citation row for the Magnesium Glycinate + Mycophenolate Mofetil pair, each linking to PubMed by PMID where available. Full sourcing methodology at https://nutristackapp.com/methodology/interactions.

Magnesium Glycinate + Mycophenolate Mofetil

Q: Can I take Magnesium Glycinate and Mycophenolate Mofetil together?

Yes, if you separate them in time. Magnesium Glycinate and Mycophenolate Mofetil have a documented timing-sensitive interaction. Magnesium/aluminum antacids can reduce mycophenolate absorption and lower mycophenolic acid exposure; ordinary magnesium supplements are less directly studied but should not be taken simultaneously without transplant-team instructions.

Q: How does this affect a NutriStack Stack Score?

-5 to your Stack Score per scored timing-sensitive row.

Timing SensitiveEmerging evidence

What is happening. Magnesium/aluminum antacids can reduce mycophenolate absorption and lower mycophenolic acid exposure; ordinary magnesium supplements are less directly studied but should not be taken simultaneously without transplant-team instructions.

Mechanism. Antacid effects can reduce systemic mycophenolic acid exposure; direct binding with magnesium glycinate is less certain than with magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacids.

Recommendation. Separate magnesium-containing products from mycophenolate by at least 2 hours unless the transplant team gives different instructions.
