Georgi Dinkov @haidut, mentioned a couple of times in videos with Mercola, that Progesterone dissolved in Vitamin E has same half life of the Vitamin E, which is 44hr.

However, when I checked my blood level of Progesterone it came back low, as before supplementation. And when I tried to take the Progesterone 2/3 hour prior the blood test, Progesterone came back a tiny bit higher from my baseline, which is .1 ng/ml, indicating a very fast half life, at list in the blood.

I'm a male by the way, and from my use of Progesterone in Vitamin E, I believe this is a good product to "wash out" the excess estrogen for sure, and in case of stress to use acutely. Maybe not so much to recover a deficiency? since circulating level of Progesterone are also important I believe.

@jpegj0hn what is your Pregnenolone and DHEA dose? are these a RX micronized?

@Jennifer thanks. sorry for late response, I have some trouble seeing notifications.

@risingfire how long prior the carrot salad would you say? I generally take my Armour 30min or less before the meal

knowing the effect of the carrot salad on the gut, I'm wondering if taking NDT before a meal, then after the meal having the carrot salad will just "clean" out the NDT as well. in other words if the carrot salad could potentially bind the NDT just ingested prior the meal.

what are your thoughts/experiences with this?

@Jennifer

thanks, that is good info I appreciate it.

3 grains all in once is for sure too much.

I made an experiment years ago when I was taking NP thyroid. 1 grain taken on empty stomach, then I measured my FT3 2hr after and it came back at 4.5, 6hr after it was at 4.1, showing it doesn't come down that quickly.
Probably 1 grain would be the max NDT to take all in once, if it is taken with food, we can then expect even a lower release of the FT3.

I now take Armour and follow a similar schedule to yours, half grain on empty stomach before breakfast and another half before lunch.

Do you take yours right before the meal or after, and wondering what time do you take your last half and what time you can sleep after that. I tried to take half grain right before going to bed, and it definitely interfered with my sleep

@Sunniva

Thanks, what your dose/frequency with the Armour?

@Jennifer

Thanks for your feedback. What is your dose/frequency?

I think the T3 in Armour is bound to protein, so it may be more slow released already than Cytomel for example. I’m not sure Peat used to refer to a synthetic T3 and therefore the need to take it with food multiple times per day?

I’m wondering what thyroid product is preferred in this community,

is Armour Thyroid always the best even in the Peat community?

If you take NDT how you do you take it and how often during the day?

I'm wondering what everyone experience is with NDT taken in proximity with milk or cheese.

Did the dairy decrease absorption of the thyroid?
