Creatine

[DungeonMSTR3]

So I have been taking creatine for about a year, specifically micronized creatine monohydrate, and my mom thinks it is bad for me even though I have looked into it a lot before deciding to get it. And even a doctor told her it should be fine, but she still thinks it can mess up the kidneys. Then she says that taking creatine or any other supplement in pre workout makes me "unnatural"

Not sure what you want us to do. If she won't listen to a doctor, why would she listen to randoms from the internet?

I take creatine and I'm pretty confident it's not harmful in any way. That's about all I can say.

I was also curious of the same, what are you looking for us to say/do?

You could be into far worse things than some creatine, remind your mum of that.

She doesn't want you doing steroids. Explain to her, CM is not a steroid and has been proven to be safe and 100% effective. If your nutrition is not functional, creatine consumption isn't going to make you anabolic, FYI. Also it is not recommended you use anything but CM, other creatine transport methods are still unproven today when CM has been demonstrated to be 100% effective and is relatively cheap.

Tell your mom,

Creatine can also be located in the diet from milk, steak and some fish.
Beef, pork, tuna, salmon, and cod all contain between 1.4 to 2.3 grams of creatine per pound.
Herring contains the most creatine at 3 to 4.5 grams per pound.

Bet this will change her mind

A year without a break ? A bit too much take 1-2 months off.
