Creatine and Pregnancy / BreastfeedingUpdated 9 months ago
Unfortunately this is one of those questions that cannot be answered in an absolute.
Some camps highlight benefits such as production of more human milk, better mood and cognitive function, ease in recovering from childbirth,and the best way to avoid creatine deficiency syndromes. However, it is very important to recognize that comprehensive research is yet to be done to have a concrete understanding of the effects of creatine supplementation on lactation, and indeed what a proper dosage may be.
Given this lack of thorough understanding, supplementing with creatine while breastfeeding is not something that we can either condone or discourage. As always, we highly recommend consulting a physician if you are interested in starting supplementation.
