You want to take both. Ratio of the 1:3 ideally.

I take t3 with first meal of day. Sometimes a bit at lunch. Then t3/t4 combo with dinner.

t4 is a slower release. Body takes time to convert it. Taking a t3/t4 combo with dinner helps you have thyroid for now and later (through the night)

So u take them at the same time? and aren't u supposed to take them on empty stomach that's what google says like 30 to 60 min before food

They make combo medications. Read my above comment. Google says a lot of things that are dead wrong. Research Broda Barnes, OG of thyroid hormone research

ok makes sense if t4 is slower but with food is ok too? no absorption problems?

With food helps it be broken down slower (last longer). And nope, the body will enjoy real thyroid as long as it’s legit medication.
