T3 dosage all at once or spread out?

So when u make it up to 3 or 4 tabs a day should u spread them out over the day or take all at once.

Cytomel (im assuming thats what you are referring to) is regular release. Your best to divide your dosages. The t3 i use is a sustained release but I still divide it just to be safe.

The half life is said to be 10 hours do i split in 2

I spread it out since the absorption is very fast. What do they say 95% within 4-5hrs. I have a friend that pops 75 - 100mcg at once. when I tried this I started to drag a little more and the energy level suffered a tad, so I space out the dose and don't go higher than 50mcg. this is what works for me.

Thanks for the replies I will start spreading it out to two doses.

25mcg am 25mcg pm

There is a reason T-3 tabs are dosed no higher than 25mcg, split up the dose.

Off topic but what about T4

[SHINE]

What about t-4, depends on what your doing. And what your using with the thyroid hormones.

Rather than being a hormone, T4 is a “prohormone.” That means that enzymes have to convert T4 to T3 before T4 benefits us.

Untrue. There are 50 mcg tabs.

lol I figured someone would say that and there used very little to, usualy for people being poor "responders to T-3"
there scored and usualy broken in half with only 25mcg taken at a time, most clinical research crap shoes anything over 25mcg being wasted and passed through the system.

Like insulin some have a resistence problem to T-3 and need higher doses is right!

and the SR-T-3 is questionable wether alot gets wasted to with the higher dose tabs.


I shoulda said Dosed no higer than 25mcg,

I was just pointing out that part of the statement was false. I get 50mcg tabs because my doc knows they are cheaper for me.

Are you using Brand name *Cytomel* or generic?


Paddock labs are a good generic brand for the 50mcg tabs.

Name brand. When I used generic I got headaches.
