Supplement Safety
Dietary supplements, including creatine, are not medicines. In Malaysia, dietary supplements are regulated differently from pharmaceutical products. Supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
While creatine monohydrate has an extensive safety profile established through decades of peer-reviewed research, individual responses to supplementation can vary. Factors including age, health status, kidney function, liver function, medications, and pre-existing conditions can all influence how your body responds to creatine supplementation.
Before starting creatine or any other dietary supplement, you should:
- Consult with your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional, particularly if you have any pre-existing health conditions.
- Inform your healthcare provider about all supplements and medications you are currently taking to check for potential interactions.
- Discuss appropriate dosing for your individual circumstances.
- Monitor your response to supplementation and report any adverse effects to your healthcare provider.
- Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience any unexpected or severe side effects.
Special caution is advised for the following groups, who should only supplement under direct medical supervision:
- Individuals with kidney disease or impaired kidney function.
- Individuals with liver disease or impaired liver function.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
- Individuals taking medications that affect kidney function, including certain blood pressure medications, NSAIDs, and diuretics.
- Individuals with a history of compartment syndrome or rhabdomyolysis.
Malaysian Regulatory Context
In Malaysia, dietary supplements are regulated under the Food Act 1983, the Food Regulations 1985, and related directives issued by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA). The Medicines (Advertisement and Sale) Act 1956 (MASA) governs the advertising of products with health-related claims.
Creatine.my operates in compliance with Malaysian law. We do not make therapeutic claims about creatine or any other supplement.
