Why does it seem like it's ok to take more T3 in a single dose when taking T4 alongside it?
Ray has said that taking more the 4mcg of t3 at once is probably not good because it is unphysiological . You could probably get away with a bit more (like 5-10mcg) if taken with a meal because of the slower absorption.
But he has also said:
"As long as it's divided so that you don't get a big dose of T3 all at once it should be o.k. to take a total of 25 mcg T3 and 100 of T4.That would be similar to the traditional 2 grain dose of Armour thyroid. A healthy person should produce the equivalent of about four grains per day, so with 2 grains of supplement, or the equivalent, there isn't a risk of over-dosing."
So why does it suddenly become ok to take 25mcg of T3 when taking T4 alongside it? It seems like a common protocol to nibble on small amounts of T3 during the day, but then take a big chunk of Cynoplus (t3/t4) at night that contains a much higher dose of T3. What gives?
