T3

[gridlock]

quick question

just got some T3's nut they're lower dosage than the ones I usually get (25mg each)

anyone usually space theirs out through the day? I'm going to work my way up to taking 75mg so was thinking of taking 3 throughout the day.

You MUST space T3 out through the day... divide your dosage (whatever it is , even 12.5 mcg) in 2 or even better 3 doses. Very short half-life (less than 10 hours), different from T4 that can be taken all at once in the morning since it builds up and stays in your blood fo a few days.

Straight from my endo (who just confirmed everything I had read on the subject)...

I thought both t3 and t4 both need to be taken very strictly on an empty stomach which is 6hrs after your last meal and wait a minimum of 1hr after taking it, which really makes the only realistic time to take this stuff is when you wake up early to piss and go back to sleep for a few hrs, or 1st thing in morning and wait a full hour to eat afterwards. This seems almost impossible to take it anymore than 1x per day. I thought t3 stayed in your system for 24hrs?

thanks to both of you for this.

any more thoughts.

No. 10 hours max. That's why taking it once per day makes it worthless if you wanna have steady blood levels.

split dosage it is.
