Funded Activity Summary

The WHO estimates that up to 9 million babies suffer birth hypoxia each year, leading to 29% of global neonatal deaths, and significant rates of severe disability. We hypothesise that creatine, given as a supplement to the mothers diet during pregnancy, will protect her babies organs should low oxygen around the time of birth occur. The low cost of creatine is particularly relevant for rural and remote communities and the developing world where, currently, there are no effective therapies.
