Creatine and the Proper way to use it.

For some reason, my endo is against me telling creatine.
I do cycle it....... but then again, I cycle vitamins also. LOL

I am no doctor...

I found this....

Moreover, even small alterations of plasma concentrations of the thyroid hormones indicate that creatine supplementation might influence thyroid metabolism.

I think, or should I say guess, it means....

Creatine affects how you metabolize your T4 and T3.
Since they are trying to figure out what level of meds you should be on...
Your endo wants you to avoid something that will affect those meds.

Actually, this was well before Any thyroid issues. Maybe that’s why they had to remove my thyroid... too much creatine , too long! LOL

Well then it could be because creatine raises your creatinine levels.

My creatinine levels are always above range. I believe heavy exercise also raises it.
However, my endo has never been concerned.

Even endo’s don’t agree. Yeah- creatinine is usually high for me too.
