Doctor Warns To Avoid This Common Supplement Before Blood Tests

Dr. Karan Raj, a doctor who’s become TikTok-famous for sharing his medical know-how, recently shared that creatine ― a compound mostly found in the body’s muscles 

In a recent video, the doctor said, “I recently had some routine blood tests done ― and it showed that something was wrong with my kidneys.”

Creatinine is a waste product made by your body. And if your levels are high, it suggests your body isn’t flushing the substance out properly

Dr. Raj noticed that, in his test results, his creatinine levels were high ― “not good,” he said

And his eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), which shows how well your kidneys are filtering waste out, was in the “low to normal” range.

As in, it was “lower than you’d expect for the 33-year-old male with no medical conditions.” 

So, after doing some research, the doctor found that the problem was coming from his supplement tub.
