A while back my son had a supplement strike and refused to take his creatine, glycine (liquid compound) and l-arginine (liquid compound). We tried mixing it with everything and anything but he flat out refused them. I wound up mixing them with sugar and squirting them in his mouth but you can imagine how well that turned out. A real battle of the wills!
So now we're back to the powdered versions and it's made a world of difference. They still taste terrible (to me) but when mixed with applesauce or yogurt, they go down easy. I have concerns about mixing them with dairy (something seems not right about mixing them with other amino acids) but I've been assured numerous times by his doctors that it does not matter.
The little guy's now THREE and tipping the scales at a whopping 28.5 lbs, here's his daily dose roundup:
Creatine 1.3g x 4/day
Glycine .65g x 3/day
L-arginine 1.75g x 3/day
Is low weight common amongst kids with Creatine Transporter Deficiency? I give him full-fat everything (mostly healthy fats) and as much food as he can eat, though he is a light eater.
That's all for now, not much to report. Preschool is back in session and we'll still figuring out our new groove. :)
