optimal t3 absorption

[esssssssssss]

Hello,

I have recently added T3 Thybon on top of T4 and I was wondering how I'm supposed to take it correctly. So I take 75mcg T4 + T3 5mcg in the morning on the empty stomach and I have to take another 5mcg of T3 in the afternoon. How do I go about taking that, am I supposed to wait x time since I ate something, do I just take it whenever and wait 30 minutes before eating?

Thanks looking forward to any advice.

Take on empty stomach (ideally at least 1-2 hours after eating) and at least 30-45mins before anything apart from water

T3 is not as fussy as Levothyroxine

I’ve found that Liothyronine absorption is not as affected by food as Levothyroxine. I take my morning Levo and Liothyronine on an empty stomach an hour before food/ coffee but I just take my second dose of Liothyronine approx an hour after my lunch, varying slightly according to my daily work schedule. Some members take all their Liothyronine with Levo on a morning, but I’ve found a second dose early afternoon helps me physically and mentally. It’s very much trial and error to see what regime works best for you.
