Title: creatine and drug testing?
Post by: mikeymuscles on March 19, 2009, 03:10:11 PM
Will creatine cause a false positive during a urine drug test for anything?  Is there any chance at all?  Thanks in advance

not that i know of ive used creatine since i was a teenager and have had multiple drug tests since then for jobs and never once beem flagged for anything...there is always the possibility if you believe the professional sports players that such and such supplement gave them a false positive, the truth is those players were probably on something at the time.

Mikey, unless you are a professional athlete competing in an organization where creatine is banned, (not that I think there are any) you have nothing to worry about.  I believe your urine will have higher level of creatinine but that is just a by-prouct, nothing that would make you fail.  Hope this helps.

Creatine is not banned nowhere. It's not doping and won't create a positive test.

Creatine can actually help you PASS a drug test! 

The only real way to pass a urine drug test is to dilute your urine.  However, they have tricks to detect whether you have done this.

1st they look at color...  If you've diluted your urine it will most likely be as clear as water.  The solution: Take B-Vitamins before the test!  This will make your urine yellow, no matter how much you dilute it.

2nd, if they suspect that you've diluted your urine, they test for Creatinine Levels which is a byproduct of creatine. You naturally have a small amount of this in your urine.  However, if you dilute your urine, there won't be any.  So dissolve creatine in the massive amounts of water you'll be drinking to dilute your urine, and the 2nd problem is solved.
