Protein is ultimately metabolized by the kidney, so a high-protein diet will increase the burden on the kidney, and patients with renal insufficiency had better not use it. In addition, you need to drink more water than usual during taking protein powder and creatine, and drinking more water will also increase the burden on the kidneys. But as long as it is used correctly and exercised, it is harmless to the body itself. You need to choose to use it, but it is best to eat normally and exercise properly.

The human body can synthesize creatine by itself or through food intake. This is the natural source of creatine, and liver and kidney can be metabolized through normal channels. However, extra creatine supplementation is different. A large amount of creatine intake at one time will inevitably increase the metabolic burden of liver and kidney.

After creatine is used, the excretion of urinary creatinine increases, and creatinine is an index used to judge renal function in clinic. The increase of urinary creatinine indirectly reflects the change of renal function.

At present, the creatine products on the market are mixed, and the side effect of pure creatine may only increase the metabolic burden of the kidney. However, once creatine contains impurities, its impact on health should not be underestimated. Dicyandiamide and dicyandiamide are common impurities in low-purity creatine. Dicyandiamide will increase the burden of kidney excretion of water, and dihydrotriamide can dilate arterial blood vessels.

Data expansion:

Protein powder is generally protein-rich powder made of purified soybean protein, casein, whey protein (lacking isoleucine), pea protein, or the combination of the above proteins. Its purpose is to supplement protein for people who lack protein, and it can also be used as a functional additive in food industry.

For healthy people, the lack of protein generally does not occur. Milk, eggs, meat, soybeans, wheat and corn contain all kinds of essential amino acids in sufficient quantities and appropriate proportions. Moreover, the psychological enjoyment and sensory stimulation brought by food can not be replaced by protein powder. Excessive intake of protein is not only a waste, but also harmful to human health.

use

Protein powder is a kind of nutritional complementary food for specific people. As an amino acid supplement food, it can provide essential nutrition for infants, the elderly, sports people, patients before and after operation and people who lose weight due to lack of protein.

In addition, people with poor appetite or digestive function, dieters and vegetarians may have insufficient intake of protein, which will not only lead to children's developmental retardation and affect the body's water metabolism, but also lead to various diseases such as low immune function, poor sleep and anemia. In these cases, high-quality protein powder has become a good supplement.
