You do?
Liver scan or kidney scan?
Kidney scan.
So that's a trick.
Don't fall for that.
I mean, I've done a couple of big shows on this where creatine is what you're going to measure kidney function with.
When your doctor checked your kidneys, he probably had you pee in a cup and check your blood.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's looking at what did you pee out and how clean is your blood?
That's what kidneys do.
Okay.
Well, even the blood test, the trash was looking like it was a little higher because the trash we're measuring is creatine.
creatinine, which is made from your supplement.
So you put the supplement in and it looks like there's more trash around.
That's just the supplement.
It's falsely elevated.
It's not true.
Your kidneys did not get hurt by that.
I answer this question probably 30 times a week.
