Calcium and T3

[cornflakeshot]

Hello

I know when taking T3 that calcium supplementation is to be avoided within a certain window. Does anyone know if this applies for foods containing calcium too like whey, Greek yogurt etc?

While on t3, also curious if you guys have seen a difference in results/energy splitting the dose through the day vs all at once

Yes all calcium should be avoided. Take the t3 in the am upon awakening. I am on scripted Tirosint T4 gel caps. I take it upon awakening with distilled water. I was drinking purified water that had calcium in it and it was messing up my bloods.

Thanks massive G!

i think this is more relevant for t4 intake. T3 intake does not even have to be fasted so i assume calcium has no effect on absorbtion

Calcium and iron need to be avoided around the time you take thyroid hormone, especially T4

do you know if this is also the case for t3?
i assumed (and from my leaflet in thybon, prescribed) it says it can even be taken with food..

No, you can take T3 with food and supplements Bioavailability is +90%.

T4 bio fasted is around 60-80%

Thank you for speaking with authority on one of the myths that won't die. It's like guys want their T3 / T4 to be ineffective when they take it.

yeah, this is what i wrote above.
It says in my prescription t3 that timing (with or without food) doesnt matter.

Yeah, technically you COULD take T4 with food, but you have to compensate with a higher dosage to make up for it. The other issue is that certain foods, drinks or supplements will decrease absorption more/less than others, so if your breakfast is different, it could shift your numbers. That's why it's easiest to just stay fasted for 30 minutes before anything but water.

Is this also why generic t3 is interchangeable with name brand, but generic vs name brand t4 is not? (Fillers, etc)
