21 year old male, use heavy resistance training. i have a tendency for hypertension, range from 125 sp to 145. would creatine supplementation be a risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very Likely: There is a significant risk if you take creatine while having high blood pressure. Creatine is produced creatine in your liver, kidneys and pancreas. If you eat red meat and fish you get creatine from those sources.Additional creatine supplementation can drastically increase how hard your kidneys work possibly leading to worsening of your high blood pressure. It is not advisable for you to take.
