T3 time of doses?

Can I take all the 25mcg first thing in the morning?

I struggle avoiding other medication food etc taking half in the morning half later in the day. I'm also struggling sleeping due to anxiety and overthinking so think if I don't take the later dose I might sleep better as I think it might be keeping me awake

Any advise welcome please

Try it. I take mine in one dose rather than splitting them, it didn't make any difference for me.

I take my T3 and T4 together first thing as I struggled taking T3 throughout the day as i graze and drink tea etc.... but what works for one doesn’t work for another so its all about trail and error ;)

When I went over to NDT then the advice was to split and the suggestion was too much T3 at once was difficult for the body to have too much at once if not used to it. But I kept forgetting the second dose. I knew I was converting well before I made the change to NDT as I had corrected it so I thought try taking it all at once in the morning and never had a problem

I split mine into 3 doses. First dose is as soon as I wake, therefore will be empty stomach. The next doses I take regardless of what I’ve eaten. Take all mine sublingually. No problems.

I take my T3, 25mcg in one go first thing too. I tried splitting - didn't make any difference just had a more complicated life!
