Ryannz, this thread is very old, you will get more responses to your question if you post a new question. See ASK A QUESTION in red at top.

To answer your question, you should ask your doctor or the drug maker about drug interactions. Generally the advice has been to not take anything you don't absolutely have too. These treatments can be very hard on the kidneys, so remember to drink lots of water, 1 1/2 times your body weight in ounces, 160 lbs = 80 oz of water at least! Remember caffiene and soft drinks dehydrate you also. I drank room temperature distilled water, as it was easier to drink. Good luck.

Hi, good to see you here. Actually, I pulled that line as an excerpt from a previous post long ago. Does sound a bit strange. Gonna go back and take another look.

Well, I know that creatine is broken down into CREATININE, which has to be removed by the kidneys. Actually, it's a common blood test to determine how well your kidneys are working.

Seems to me inordinate amounts of creatine would create more work for the kidneys.

Why not just do a couple extra sets?

Get pumped,

Hello gauf, longtime.

This statement does not sound correct to me at all.
"The fact that hepatitis C often becomes active in people after they reach the age of 40 indicates that age-associated immune decline plays an important role in the progression of the disease."

Are you suggesting the virus lays dorment in individuals until their forties?

Whey protein isolate.(Muscle milk) This protein boosts glutathione levels and improves the functioning of the immune system. The fact that hepatitis C often becomes active in people after they reach the age of 40 indicates that age-associated immune decline plays an important role in the progression of the disease.  Not sure on the creatine.
