James Grage here, your Supplement Industry Insider. In this video, we're diving into the long-standing myth that creatine causes kidney damage. We've all heard the rumors, but is there any truth to them?
We're going to be referencing two significant papers published by the International Society of Sports Nutrition, put together by top researchers in the field of creatine supplementation.
We'll also discuss the confusion between the word creatine and creatinine and clarify their meanings. Creatinine is a waste product found in our blood, and its levels are often used as a marker to assess kidney health. However, while creatine supplementation can lead to increased creatinine levels, this doesn’t imply any issue with your kidneys.
To put things into perspective, studies have shown that individuals can take up to 30 grams of creatine per day (about six times the normal dose) for up to five years without any kidney issues. Remember, the key to supplementing wisely is understanding the facts. So, let's ditch the myths and embrace the benefits of creatine supplementation.
