Do the same rules apply to taking t3 concerning empty stomach no caffeine within 30 mins

Opinions vary. But, I think, for maximum absorption, one should take al thyroids hormones on an empty stomach and leave an hour before coffee, etc. Given the difficulty in obtaining T3, we really need it to be as efficient as possible.

Thanks greygoose, Im starting to feel better energy now im at the end of the first week. I think it will make a big change. Have you heard of resveratrol.

[greygoose in reply to Angelic69]

Yes. I took it for a will, but it's expensive and it didn't make me feel any better, so I stopped.

I've always left a gap of 1 hour between dose of thyroid hormones and food/drink.

As greygoose said, opinions vary... I have washed my T3 down with coffee in the past and it never made a difference. I take mine in two doses during the day. Half at 6am and I do usually try to leave an hour between that and my morning cup of tea, but then I take the second half around 4:30pm and that’s the one that sometimes gets washed down with coffee. The best advice is to find out for yourself which way is best for you.

Thanks

Taking coffee with thyroid hormones can affect their absorption, so you may not be absorbing optimally.

I take it 3 times a day at least an hour away from anything else
