Acceptability of dietary or nutritional supplementation in pregnancy (ADONS) - Exploring the consumer's perspective on introducing creatine monohydrate as a pregnancy supplement

摘要

Background: Pre-clinical studies suggest maternal dietary creatine supplementation during pregnancy could protect babies against hypoxic intrapartum events, however creatine has not been used as a supplement in pregnancy. The aim of this study was to explore pregnant women and healthcare professional's general knowledge, behaviours, and attitudes toward nutritional supplements, and their thoughts on introducing creatine as a pregnancy supplement.
