Is Creatine Safe?

Is creatine safe? Side effects of creatine

Creatine caused quite a stir when it hit the supplement market in the 1990’s with many allegations that it can damage the kidneys, given that all of the research at that time involved high levels of creatine. Today it has been shown both anecdotally and with peer-reviewed scientific research that creatine, when used as directed, is perfectly safe with little side effects. Care must be taken, however, to drink enough water to properly hydrated the body while taking creatine, as using creating while dehydrated could be a strain on the kidneys.
