I have high TSH level and take 100 to 150 mg of thyroxine daily. I also suffer from urticaria. I also would like to know what other supplements I can take to increase results of my workout like fat burners C4 testosterone etc to increase metabolism and if supplements I am already taking are safe for my medical conditions? My goals are proper fitness good body and weight loss of around 5 to 7 kg. My present weight is 85 kg height is 5 feet 9 inches and age is 36 years. Awaiting reply. Regards Nikesh Karsiya.

It is great you have restarted workouts. Whey, BCAA, and creatine are generally safe in moderation. However, fat burners or testosterone boosters are not recommended with thyroid imbalance or urticaria. Focus on balanced diet, consistent training, and hydration. Always consult your doctor before starting new supplements.
