High protein intake (>236 g/day or >3.30 g/kg/day) combined with long-term supplementation (>1 year) significantly decreases glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and increases serum creatinine in CrossFit athletes compared to adequate intake without supplementation.
If you are a CrossFit athlete consuming more than 3.30 g of protein per kg of body weight daily, especially using supplements for over a year, monitor your kidney function (GFR and creatinine) regularly. High doses over long periods may reduce kidney filtration efficiency, even in healthy athletes.
Existieron disminuciones significativas (p<0.050) en la tasa de filtración glomerular con un alto consumo de 236.00 g/día y hubo un aumento significativo (p<0.050) de creatinina sérica en la suplementación durante más de un año, con una ingesta aumentada de 236.00 g/día, en comparación con aquellos con una ingesta adecuada sin suplementación.
Why this rating
Observational study with a small sample size (n=27) and short duration (4 months of data collection, though supplementation history was >1 year), lacking a control group of non-supplemented low-protein athletes for direct comparison of the intervention itself.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
