creatine monohydrate for bones

[Radars]

I have been reading regarding creatine monohydrate is good for bones so I have been taking 5mg for a week now,plus I'm trying to put some weight on,I will be having zoledronic acid soon will creatine effect that.

You are probably taking between 2g and 5g per day of creatine monohydrate.

It is definitely good for the bones. I know that from a Swiss professor at ETH that it is good for aging bones.

Our only problem is is it really safe for us with prostate cancer?

Creatine can increase DHT. That is the main reason why is it so effective for athletes.

DHT is a very potent androgen and could have negative effect. It is much more potent than a testosterone.

I would not risk it. I asked my MO and he was against using creatine. Therefore it is very risky for us with prostate cancer.

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

thanks prostate cancer feeds off testosterone but I haven't got any.

[Seasid in reply to Radars]

We hope so.

I am waiting to start zoledronic acid infusion, I asked endocrinologist today if creatine and supplements be ok and he said yes,so not bad.

[Seasid in reply to Radars]

I also asked the same question as you and they're fine with creatine.

The problem is with our cancer and the production of DHT when using Creatine. My MO is against creatine on that ground. We know that creatine is good for the bones but DHT is bad for the prostate cancer. That's it.

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

endocrinologist knows I have locally advanced prostate cancer, he never said to stop creatine,

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

I have just got my 6 monthly psa results 0.03 down from 0.05 the creatine that I am taking is not doing any harm.

[Seasid]

When did you start taking creatine and how many g are you taking per day?

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

3to4mgs a day did not do loading dose started just over a month ago no problems.

[Seasid]

It should help you with your bones according to one Swiss professor of the swiss national institute of technology. He recommended creatine monochydrate (CREAPURE) with the patented technology to produce the purest form of creation monochydrate produced in Germany.

[Radars in reply to Seasid]

yeah thanks I will look into creapure, I have my zoledronic acid infusion on the 25th April just hope it don't effect that.
