Since most of the creatine in food sources come from animals, and if you are vegan/vegetarian, then you might benefit from taking a creatine supp.

Just to be clear, I don't advocate or dismiss using creatine supplements. It's best to get informed by a certified professional who knows the facts. I just state what I know and that's that.

@SandGirl I do not think I have ever had my kidney numbers tested

Kidney blood test results are included in a group of blood tests called a 'metabolic panel'.

@SilleeMee I did a bit of research and it is listed as BUN, thank you

The BUN is only one part of the kidney tests.

Here are two of the basic types of blood test panels that your doctor can order. Here's their comparison of what is included:

All of the tests shown under BMP are used to evaluate kidney function plus there are a few other calculations done using those numbers to assess kidney function. Those calculated numbers are not shown in that chart. They are technical calculations so I will spare you the details.

@I am still oxox   My Dr does Metabolic Panel  - My husband just went through a bought with kidney failure. He is FINE now.  They mainly checked BUN, Creatine, K and Calcium.

Thank you all for the comments I am waiting for feedback from my Doctors

I understand the thinking of needing to ask a regular doctor. They are not nutritionists though. When I learned how little they actually study nutrition that did it for me—I’m better off doing my own research.

I see a chiropractor who does all kinds of testing, and he does acupuncture as well. He’s extremely knowledgeable and I love listening to him talking about all this.
