T3 food, supplements & alcohol interactions

[TiredMummy]

Hi everyone,

I’m switching my T3 dosing and will now be taking one of my doses at 6pm. This is the time we sit down together to eat as a family. I also take vitamins with my meal but could take my vitamin D and magnesium at a different time of the day and I don’t take any iron supplements. I sometimes have a small glass of red wine with my meal if I feel well enough.

Is T3 ok to take close to food? Do I have to separate all vitamins at least one hour apart from taking T3? Same question applies to alcohol.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you x

I don't find T3 to be that fussy, how about taking it whilst preparing the food so it has a head start and switch the magnesium to bedtime 😉

Ok, so take the T3 say 5:30ish is a good idea. I guess it doesn’t matter that it’s exactly 12 hours from the morning dose. Thank you x

Nope just more important to remember at some point which is often the hardest part when splitting 😬 it's so easy to put off taking it and then forget or end up somewhere with it

Thank you for putting my mind at rest! Yes, I’ll need to keep my second dose with me I think and a small bottle of water in case I’m running late. I’m bound to forget it one day but hopefully it will be seldom! x

Set your phone or watch alarm …..and have alarm repeat after 5-10mins …in case you haven’t got around to taking it after first alarm!
