Creatine and/or whey protein

Hello,

everyone here experience with supplementing creatine and/or whey protein?

I am at a gym and a lot of folks take that stuff, is it healthy, also in regard of Vitamin A toxicity?

I know nothing about creatine, but whey is the safer dairy protein. Casein interacts with vit A in bad ways. Dr. G. Smith mentions it driving vit A into tissues.

 

Thank you.

Maybe whey is safer in regard of Vitamin A, but why was it not eaten in former times?

In the traditional cheese and curd manufacturing process they removed the whey and gave it to the pigs. Nowadays there are new techniques like ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis, so that only the water from the milk is removed. Only hard cheeses are an exception.

I stopped taking creatine at least for the first 3 months of the depletion. It just might overwork the liver

As far as whey the verdict is still out on its VA interactions so I would rather play it safe

Italians have ricotta cheese which is made from whey.

Maybe other cultures didn't know what to do with it and so, they gave it to the pigs.

If you're on the cautious side, don't use them. If you feel adventurous, add it to your diet and see how it goes, it's not like it would kill you.

You are right, but traditional italian ricotta cheese is from whey of sheep milk. Nowadays they use whey of cow milk.

Maybe sheep whey is better than cow whey, you know, the A1 vs A2 thing. Or italians had more sheeps than cows 🙂
