@cremes Makes sense. Thank you!

@Brandon Thanks. Any brand you'd recommend?

@metabolicmilk I've seen mixed opinions on taking supplements transdermally in general and I figured oral would be the safer choice for starting out, especially since that is how thyroid has traditionally been taken.

@the-MOUSE Where do you source galantamine?

@cremes Interesting, thanks. Is there a specific reason you want to avoid it being processed by the liver? I thought that maybe it would be beneficial for it to pass through the liver given the liver's role in converting T4 to T3.

Hello all! I am going to start taking a low dose of TyroMix to see if it can help me with some of my problems and I am wondering what is the most effective way to take it orally. Is it okay to simply drop the liquid on my tongue and swallow with saliva? Or should I dilute it in a bit of water and drink it quickly to prevent the drop from being absorbed topically through the tongue? Perhaps I am over thinking it.

On a side note, I have seen some report taking TyroMix or other ones of the IdeaLabs ethanol-based products sublingually, but when I have tried this I definitely feel a burning sensation from the alcohol so I'm curious as to whether this could cause damage in the long term.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

@Peatriot Thanks, I am thinking that too now.

@CO3 lol

@ilovethesea Interesting, thank you. After looking into it a bit more, I have decided that I will start with Cynomel/Cynoplus in order to more accurately control the dose and perhaps try NDT at a later point.

@Peatly Good info, thank you!

@Peatly That is my intention. I was curious as to what is the maximum or optimal amount of NDT one should take at once and how to spread the dose throughout the day. I understand that taking too much T3 in a single dose can cause issues and I assume that this would be an issue with NDT as well.

@Peatly Understandable, thanks. I am well aware of the recent controversy regarding charlie and the Ray Peat Forum. I ordered this NDT from them before these events and, as far as I know, the product is of good quality and I still intend to use it.

@Peatly Yes, but I don't see anything regarding thyroid dosage.

Hello all! I am planning to experiment with taking desiccated bovine thyroid from Life Giving Store. The product page on their website recommends splitting the dose, but doesn't give any specific advice regarding this.

I have seen that Ray recommends to "nibble" on a tablet of T3 throughout the day to mimic the rate of natural production and I have read Danny Roddy's article "Demystifying Thyroid Supplementation", wherein he recommends not taking more than 5-10 mcg per dose with food, which I assume would be spaced out every few hours or so with meals. I also saw someone suggest on the Ray Peat Forum that NDT is released more slowly than isolated T3 or T4, which seems to make sense, though I have not found any source on this.

Basically, I am wondering if the advice regarding T3 dosage frequency is directly applicable to NDT dosage, or if there are other factors that I should be taking into account. Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
