        No, I was just interested in the information and looked it up. I didn't know that food had such an influence on T4 absorption

          @TexugoDoMel yes very interesting, also the difference between t3 or t4 in regard of absorption

            Perhaps by taking only T4, which has a long half-life, you need to maximize absorption in those cases where the person's absorption is probably already very impaired. Most of the time, after a while, T4 alone makes things worse with rT3.

            I don't remember the context but I think Ray was talking about T3+T4 together with food to somehow "mimic the natural release of T3". Too much hormone at once activates mechanisms to return to balance (such as conversion to rT3, excretion, etc...).

            I believe absorption is the same in everyone, given the exact same conditions the meds are taken in. So if you want to maximise absorption, you take it on an empty stomach 4 hours before meal. Calcium and Iron especially interfere with absorption.
            So if you take it with food, you’re not really getting your intended dose.

                  @CO3 it’s a Reddit community for people with hypothyroidism.

                    for example i take NDT 1:4 ratio with meals and much calcium I can drop the ratio to 1:3 or 1:2

                    do you take your NDT with meals and Ca supplement or you mean dairy as Calcium?

                      isn't that the T4 and T3 in NDT digest/absorb in a different manner from synthetic T4 and T3, therefore we can't really account for the text you attached , or this comes from a study that used specifically NDT?

                      I suspect that if we compare absorption with food/Ca of NDT vs Synthetic t4/T3 combo, things may be different

                          @Mr-X thanks

                          do you mind sharing your dosing protocol and TSH level?
