I'm 39 years old and pretty healthy other than a mild case of hypothyroidism. My thyroid tests were around 7 when they put me on the meds. I take 50mg of Synthroid daily, which has my Thyroid levels right on target. I've recently started a pretty intense exercise regimen, including 3 days a week of strength training with a PT. I'm making good progress, but being a guy, of course, I'd like to see how far I can really go...especially with the big 4-0 staring me in the face. My trainer said to check with my doctor first, but that certain supplements in moderation could enhance my energy levels, like creatine and tribulus. I've done some research on the net and found that some sources say to stay clear of such supplements if you have any sort of thyroid disorder. My thyroid levels were borderline in the first place, and my doctor said the levels alone weren't enough to put me on Synthroid, but since I was tired and had other symptoms, he did it anyway...and I'm really glad, since I lost about 20 pounds in just a few months :-) So, is it safe to consider these supplements in your opinion?
Thank you,
