Fitness Junction's video: This 29yr DELHI MAN ALMOST DAMAGED his Kidneys because of CREATINE Truth About CREATINE SAFETY

Creatine is a popular supplement used by athletes and bodybuilders to increase muscle strength and performance. However, there have been concerns about its potential effects on the kidneys. In this blog post, we will examine the current research on creatine and kidney function to determine if creatine is safe for regular use. First, it is important to understand that creatine is a naturally occurring compound that is found in small amounts in certain foods such as red meat and fish. It is also produced by the body, primarily in the kidneys and liver. When taken as a supplement, creatine is converted into phosphocreatine, which is stored in muscle tissue and used to produce energy during high-intensity exercise. Many studies have been conducted on the effects of creatine on the kidneys, and the majority of them have found that creatine is safe for healthy individuals. These studies have shown that creatine supplementation does not cause any significant changes in kidney function or lead to kidney damage. However, there are a few studies that have suggested a link between creatine and kidney dysfunction in individuals with pre-existing kidney problems. These studies have found that creatine supplementation may lead to an increase in creatinine levels, which is a marker of kidney function. However, it is important to note that these studies have been conducted on small groups of individuals and more research is needed to confirm these findings. It is also important to note that individuals with pre-existing kidney problems should consult with a physician before taking creatine. Individuals who experience any signs of kidney problems such as swelling in the ankles or feet, changes in urine output, or blood in the urine should stop taking creatine and seek medical attention immediately.
