Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I just tried it for the first time this morning and it took FOREVER to dissolve...at least half an hour. Is there a trick to getting it to dissolve faster?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I actually chomp mine into tiny bits and then let those dissolve under my tongue. They are gone in a matter of minutes. I can imagine it would take quite a while otherwise. > > I just tried it for the first time this morning and it took FOREVER to dissolve...at least half an hour.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi Nick and all - there's no need to take Cytomel sublingually, it is designed to be taken orally. It doesn't matter whether you have eaten or not either.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 It does matter Sheila. Some people do not absorb well. I felt nothing from swallowing armour until I started to sublingual. Sublingual HC works much better too and both those were designed to be swallowed. Food does affect t3 so it's best to sublingual. I haven't had any problems getting cynomel to dissolve. Rainbowbrite, maybe a smidge of sugar under your tongue will help dissolve it.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hmm, I never thought about how I get them under my tongue, but somehow I do. I guess, now that I think abou it, I use only my front teeth and then roll the pieces quickly under my tongue. If you used your molars, I can see how it would stick in your teeth. Maybe just crush it and then drop it under your tongue with a spoon? Kathleen > > > > > > I just tried it for the first time this morning and it took FOREVER to dissolve...at least half an hour.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 That's a good idea. I'll try crushing it up tomorrow and adding a tiny bit of sugar to it.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 How in the world can you take HC sublingually. It's very bitter even when I taste it when swallowing it.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 It's bitter but not that bad. If you keep it under your tongue while it's dissolving, you can't really taste it. Others do it too. > > > > > > > > > Hi Nick and all - there's no need to take Cytomel sublingually, it is > > > designed to be taken orally.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yes, HC can be done sublingually and does work better for some!! I was asked a question, and I answered it. I gave my 2 cents about doing the t3 with a tiny amount of sugar, honey would work too. Subject: Re: Taking Cynomel Sublingually - What's the Trick?To: RT3_T3 Date: Friday, October 23, 2009, 11:25 AM No, you do NOT take HC sublingually - this discussion is about cytomel.Another thing you can do to help your absorption of cytomel/cynomel is to chew it up first.>> How in the world can you take HC sublingually.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well it did work a little better that way, but still took too long for my liking. I think for now I'll stick to swallowing it and taking my iron at bedtime.
