Hypothyroidism and Workout Supplements

[Sarah8897]

I recently drank a pre-workout drink at my gym and then noticed that it said don't drink if you have thryoid disease. I didn't feel any side effects but I was wondering why I shouldn't be drinking it. I have very mild hypothyroidism. The ingredients in the drink are:

Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Creatine Monohydrate, Beta Alanine, Caffeine, 1,3-Dimethylamylamine (Geranium [Stem]), Schizandrol A

Could any of these ingredients cause harm?

My brother takes Hydroxycut, but he had a TT five years ago. He says it does not affect him as far as the thyroid condition goes.

I've had thyroid problems since I was 16 years of age. I am not 27 yrs old and last year diagnosed  HASHIMOTO. I then had my thyroid removed. With that said, I love working out and would like to help put on some weight that i never could keep. What is it that I'm told not to take? Or what are some ingredients i can look out for to take?

Mark,

I'm not reading anything alarming in those but the stimulants can increase the amino acids and the amino's can surge the metobolism level to hyper gear.

It sounds safe persay - but if you have hyper episodes regardless of your condition ( true hyper or hypoT) this stimulant can spike too high of levels and could storm the thyroid.
