Dr prescribed 200mg of DIM to lower E for my wife. What is the best time take DIM and should it be taken with or without food? Any benefit to take 100mg in AM and 100mg in PM?

Thank you for your reply. Not taking Thytroid meds yet but I picked up Ferrous Sulfate 65mg Elemental Iron, taking 1 tablet with 500mg Vit C together with dinner. Any opinion as to formulation or dosage?

MY ORIGINAL POST FROM 10-28-18
Have been on TRT and HCG for a couple years and still don't feel all that great. Symptoms include foggy, cold, dragging around 3pm with ability to nap at the drop of a hat oh and sweat profusely in heat or working out.
In mid March my TSH result was 3.010 uIU/mL...
Thanks for the input.
Temps:
11-14 before getting out of bed was 98.0
11-14 1 hour later after drinking coffee was 97.6
---
11-15 before getting out of bed was 97.9
11-15 1 hour later after drinking coffee was 97.8
Several days afterwards temps in bed vs 1 hour later were 1 degree or less...
QUESTION
I had my blood drawn on Monday and waiting for results. I have not started taking the Armor, was prescribed 1 GR (60mg) daily. My ass is absolutely been dragging and no amount of caffeine does any good, it actually makes me even more tired...
Should I start taking the Armor...
rb,
Yes, on TRT for both. The December labs were done by Nephrologist so I don't know what T related levels were at that time.
October
Total T was 785 ng/dL (264-916)
Free T 11.4 ng/dL (7.2-24.0)
Estradiol, Sensitive 33.0 (pg/mL (8.0-35.0)
Ratbag et al,
I have been going back through my previous labs to see if I can I can find more clues as to the low iron.
Late last December:
Iron Bind. Cap. TIBC 310 ug/dL (250-450)
UIBC 265 ug/dL (111-345)
Iron, Serum 45 ug/dL (38-169)
Iron Saturation 15 % (15-55)
Ferritin, Serum 87 ng/mL...
I just started the XenoStat prior to my last blood draw thinking it may help. I also take 1 Thorne Basic Nutrient 2/Day which I just realized also has Iodine @ 75 mcg per 2 caps, so I'm getting 37.5 mcg more from that as well as Selenium @ 200 mcg per 2 caps so getting 100 mcg of Selenium...
Thanks, I've recently added Premier XenoStat to my supplements. Should I quit taking that prior to the Thyroid tests?
