T3 in drops, empty or full stomach?

hi all, I take t3 in drops with a little water several times a day. Being in hydroalcoholic solution with drops, does it make a difference if I take it on an empty or full stomach?

Thanks

I'm not sure that many, if any will have experience of T3 drops. All I've ever heard of are tablets. Which country are you in?

T3 as a hormone isn't as particular as Levo. No idea what difference it being in alcohol might make. Sorry.

Is there a patient leaflet that came with it that might say how to take it?

i write from Italy.

in the package leaflet it is not specified whether to take it on an empty or full stomach.

I ask because normally being in drops and therefore diluted with water it does not need digestion so theoretically it makes no difference whether the stomach is full or empty.

I'm just asking to be sure

Thanks

If you want to be really safe take it an hour away from food but as I said T3 isn't as fussy as Levo. I'm sure if it was important it would be on the package leaflet.

I think this is the product. Unfortunately, my Italian really doesn't exist!
