Hey guys.
I am taking 3 scoops of protein a day and 10grams of Creatine.
Anyway, I have noticed that since I started I have been pissing alot more.
I mean, is it just cause of all the water or am I pissing out Protein and Creatine?
Protein and creatine work your kidneys and if you’re drinking enough water, like you said, increased toilet trips are not unusual.
Yep. That’ll happen.

no you are most likely not pissing out protein or creatine. Well, maybe creatine. It’s probably the extra liquid you’ve been drinking, it’s natural.
If you start pissing protein, I believe your urine turns an abnormal color (green I think). The protein your body doesn’t use gets excreted out during #2. If you DO start pissing out protein, go see a doctor, it’s the first sign of a severe kidney disease.
Trust me, I know. My little brother’s in the hospital for that right now.

Technically, creatinine.
you would only piss out excessive creatine which as lixy says chemically changes into creatinine, which is a waste product. your muscles’ creatine levels become saturated, the excessive creatine has no other use in the body so it takes a trip with your urine.
