whens the best time to take t3 ?

[xmerola85]

i have always thought t3 is best taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach . I have read it need like an hour of nothing in the system to work and any food or even like caffeine or other supps can make it lose potency is this true. I have been doing
week 1-2- 25 mcg
week-2-4 50 mcg
week 5-7 75 mcg
and i just bumped up to 10i0 for 3 days so far and feel so different than 1 i have human grade tiromels

is it better to split dosage do i need to have a totally empty stomach to make it most effective ?

Above 50mcg, you spilt the dose. 50mcg and below you can take in the morning. Doesn't need to be on any empty stomach that's a myth with no real proof to back it up. It's thyroid medication ffs, it's to help with your food metabolizing.

I take my T3 first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and all at once. I don't split the dose up.

thanks for the input anyone else have opinions or maybe science lol? will i burn more cals if i take it in 2 doses ? or is it just easier on the body to split it ?

You split it up because it doesn't last long in your system I think it's like 4 hours. I would be worried taking it once a day and only having elevated t3 levels for part of the day. I split 3 25mcg doses up morning, post workout, and before my last meal.

The half life of T3 is 24 hours... I have no idea where you're getting this information from, but it's incorrect and irresponsible for you to post that when someone is asking for help.

lol your right brother thats y im asking i been hearing so many people act like drs the way they explain this but i even knew t3 lasts a day in your system first page that pops up when you put t3 halflife from emedicine STATES

T3 is 4 times more active than the more abundant T4. The half-life of T4 is 5-7 days; the half-life of T3 is only 1 day. Approximately 99% of the circulating thyroid hormone is bound to plasma protein and is metabolized primarily by the liver

SO would i burn more cals taking it in the morning in one total dose or splitting it would be the better option ?

I take my entire dosage before bed.

Like I said, it depends on the dose. I take 100mcg ED. I take 50mcg when I first wake up. and 50mcg at dinner time. 100mcg at all once gives me a lot of heat and I get kinda sweaty. splitting it up helps prevents that from happening. That's just for me though, I have no idea what will work for you.

s
i felt crappy yesterday morning after 100 mcgs not really hott just more crappy but i will try the split tom ! do u take on empty stomach ? also i read some people (bros not science) saying it takes a day to leave the body but the t3 is only active for a few hours in the body that doesent seem right is that true ?

I take my entire dosage before bed.

h

do you do this because you feel the effects to much taking it when waking ?

 

[dmt31]

In the morning yes, in the evening no. That's why Bros say it, it's not true

this is what I have always heard and why is aid i split it across the day. Sure it may stay in your body for over a day but its not going to be at optimal levels. It is like saying the half life on test e is 2 weeks so you are good just taking a shot once every 2 weeks. Good luck with gains on that.

i was taking it apon waking each day but when it came time to sleep each night i was not able to. When i take it right befor bed i can always fall asleep.

I got this idea from another user of t3. I did not think this up on my own. If i would have continued to take it apon waking my body might have adjusted to that and i would have been able to sleep eventually.

ok im taking it 3 times a day now thanks men

Test enanthate's half life is not 2wks but if it was, yes you would make gains off injecting every 2wks.
