| Canada: Recall of one lot of Perfect Sports Core Series Pure Creatine (also known as Creatine Powder) due to dangerous levels of vitamin D contamination |
| |
Health Canada is advising Canadians that Genex Nutraceuticals is recalling one lot (lot number: 2006CRTN807) of its Perfect Sports Core Series Pure Creatine (also known as Creatine Powder) due to the presence of vitamin D in the product. This product is not authorized to contain vitamin D. This product may contain vitamin D that is not listed on the label, at dangerous levels.
Too much vitamin D can lead to vitamin D “intoxication”, which can cause weakness, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, lack of appetite, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, ringing in the ears, lack of coordination, and muscle weakness. Pregnant women in particular should not take vitamin D exceeding the daily tolerable upper intake level for adults (4,000 IU). High levels of vitamin D taken during pregnancy can potentially lead to high calcium levels in the pregnant woman, which can be associated with risks to the newborn.
