Creatine myth?

[icykid298]

My mom just told me I shouldnt take creatine monohydrate because it messes up my kidneys.She believes everything people tell her, but this chick at GNC told her that and some sort of trainer did aswell.

[PumpingIron69]

i guarentee you this is wrong theres no need to worry! you would literally have to take an insane amount of creatine for it to harm your kidneys at all

[icykid298]

What do I tell her then? And my cousin told me creatine is unnatural

[tonzoffun]

creatine killed my mother and raped my father

I got my doctor to explain to my mom that creatine is harmless as long as you're drinking at least a gallon of water since she wouldn't take my word for it.

Thanks good idea

Research and find studies that show it is harmless, get your mum to read these

That's funny OP because last cold friday I had come home from school. I had been thinking of the gym all day. I was hungry, didn't have any lunch. In fact, I didn't eat because I spent the money. For the past month I was saving up for something. Something special which I bought at GNC. I was surprised they didn't ask for ID; I was pretty sure the cashier noticed how nervous I was. Anyways, my mom asked my how my day was when I got home, but I ignored her. I have more important things to do. I run to the bathroom and unpack my bag. In my school bag is a white plastic bag from GNC. I open the bag, first removing the receipt and flushing it down the toilet to get rid of the evidence. My heart was racing now. I unpack the creatine monster from the bag.

I wonder what people will be asking me when they see that I will be 50lbs heavier. Should I say I was just eating a lot? I remove the label from the tub and tear it into a thousand small pieces. I flush that down the toilet, too. It is time now. I run up to my room when my mom ask me what I am holding. I panic, sweat drips down my forehead and my teeth chatter. "Mom, it's just for a school project". "What project?" "I don't know mom I just started it!". A tear runs down my cheek. I run upstairs and open the creatine, scooping upservings into a clear water bottle. What have I gotten myself into? I fill it with water and drink it. There is no turning back now. The creatine monster is inside me now, it will control me. What should I do if I die? I cant let my family know about this.

I open the creatine tub and throw it all out the window; a white cloud of mysterious dust sparkles into the wind so graciously. I feel the substance taking control of me; I am now the monster. I walk downstairs, its time to work out; time to get big. Now I worry, I don't want to get too big; people will think I use steroids. I do use steroids. No I don't. Creatine. All I see is the weights now, I am almost downstairs when I hear "Do you want a cookie I just baked". I know I do not have time for this **** now. "No mom I do not want a cookie" I walk in the basement and drop to my knees before the weights, tears running down my cheeks. I turn to the right and look at myself in the mirror. Oh god, what have I done?

The doctor idea is a good one but it can back fire. Many doctors are stuck in the 1950's when it comes to weights and bodybuilding. So asking him could get it banned in your house hold for life.

creatine will kill you.

Tell her that your body already produces creatine. But when you take creatine drink a lot of water with it.

Myth!

[CaptainProtein]

The person who said my doctor plan may backfire could be right, I'd only do it if you think your doctor will be on your side. If its possible for you to go into your next physical/checkup/whatever without a parent you could find out their opinion then and have them tell your parents at a different time
