A member asked:
Ive been a weightlifter since 1999. had pericarditis and myocarditis twice since then. also have pacs and pvcs. ive taken creatine and kre-alkalyn (a different form of creatine) from 1999 to 2021. is it still safe to take that those supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Since the FDA doesn't investigate supplements, physicians are reluctant to OK them for fear of contaminants that can cause problems ( such as stimulate your heart) or interact with medications. Also we don't know the proper doses or whether claims of efficacy are valid.
