Thats what it says on the tub. Any thoughts on this? Can't find any research on it.
yes, it can convert to creatinine a waste product that can have detremental effects on kidney function, I would get bloodwork to see of your Kidneys are working well before using it.creatine journal (bing search) says one can deflate due to muscles losing H2O after a 12 week cycle. Heck, I've noticed this after a day without. I havn't heard of any other bad effects, has anyone else?
a small amount wont affect it at all, 1-2 cups, its going over board that will negate the effects somewhat.Iv heard of people avoiding taking caffeine while using creatine because it might negate the performance enhancing effects of creatine. I think it really depends on the quality of the creatine though.
My understanding is that creatinine itself is not harmful. It IS a marker for potentially harmful conditions, and ALSO a marker for someone supplementing creatine. Doctors are used to using it as a telltale sign of kidney failure, but don't take into account someone who is supplementing creatine, in which case elevated creatinine is perfectly normal, and not dangerous at all.yes, it can convert to creatinine a waste product that can have detremental effects on kidney function, I would get bloodwork to see of your Kidneys are working well before using it.
most BROS here will probably disagree and say you can be on it all the time.
According to my doctor (whos big into weightlifting) its not as safe as we all believe, especially if you already have a preexisting condition.

interesting post , I certainly hope I wasnt sounding as if this was giving the concrete anser, just food for thought,My understanding is that creatinine itself is not harmful. It IS a marker for potentially harmful conditions, and ALSO a marker for someone supplementing creatine. Doctors are used to using it as a telltale sign of kidney failure, but don't take into account someone who is supplementing creatine, in which case elevated creatinine is perfectly normal, and not dangerous at all.
Ask your dr about that.
that avi rocks, lovin that hemodraulix!If you have no preexisting factors and your diet and water intake is great you have nothing to worry about.
Diet always comes first.
haha! Appreciate the kind words. Thank you.that avi rocks, lovin that hemodraulix!
plus the bottle looks damn kool, plz never change it,lol
and thats your physique?:laugh2:i took creatine for 4 years straight.
There is zero truth to that.I've read that creatine should be cycled not due to harmful effetcs, but because the body's receptors - over time - become numb to it, thereby reducing or eliminating the benefits of taking creatine.
I as well my friend, thats why I say cycle it...mine were real high actually and the first thing the doc asked....was...you guessed it , do you use creatine?I've got before and after bloodwork done while supplementing with only creatine mono, and before creatinine levels were normal, after my levels were above the High range. After 4 to 5 days of non-use my creatinine levels were back to normal.
My question is:I've got before and after bloodwork done while supplementing with only creatine mono, and before creatinine levels were normal, after my levels were above the High range. After 4 to 5 days of non-use my creatinine levels were back to normal.
creatinine is a waste product of creatine phosphate, when it accumulates in the kidneys it can somewhat hinder their ability to filter blood.My question is:
What does high creatinine levels mean, when you're supplementing creatine? Is the creatinine itself harmful, or is it a potential marker of a harmful condition?
Can one of you two ask your dr's?
