Hello Ma’am. My son is 24 years old and regular Gym practitioner. He insists on taking Creatinine powder (self prescribed, based on Internet research and peer group/Gym Trainers advice) for his protein requirement. As parents we are worried if it may have some long term side effects. His recent Blood test(KFT)revealed high Creatinine of 1.3 and eGFR of 79. Please advise if it is necessary to take these kind of health supplements or protein can be sources from natural foods.We reside in Delhi, can we seek Diet/ Nutrition advice from you or can you advise a good Dietitian/ Nutritionist. Warm Regards, Thank you.

Ans: Better to avoid these protein supplements. Recheck creatinine and urine routine after two weeks to know the trend.
