L-Carnosine & Creatine Monohydrate
 

After seeing the list of ingredients in MaxiEnergy (see link below), I thought I would add L-Carnosine and Creatine Monohydrate to my supplements for mitochondrial support. The labels on my L-Carnosine and Creatine Monohydrate advise to take them on an empty stomach with juice or water. Do you suppose it's okay to add them to my D-Ribose?

By the way, if anybody thinks it's a bad idea to take these at all, do let me know. I have taken creatine when I was younger, before my PN.

Thanks.

Depending on how much creatine you take, one should have
good kidney functions. If you have any kidney issues, you should consult a doctor first. Make sure you stay hydrated.

You should be able to take both with Ribose.

BTW, except for the creatine and Vit C, the MaxiEnergy product has very
small doses of the other ingredients.

Thanks, mrsD.

I'm going to start with modest doses. For example, the Jarrow L-Carnosine that I picked that I yesterday is a 500 mg pill, but I will take it every other day. The Creatine Monohydrate recommends 6 g per day on the label, but I will halve that. And I am cutting the d-ribose down to below 5 g per day.


BTW, I do drink a lot of water and, I guess because I take 300+ mg of magnesium every day, I urinate quite regularly. My BMs are regular, too,as long as I stay on the mag.
