Is Creatine Safe

Many people will ask me about creatine. One of the most popular questions is “is creatine safe?”

Some people may spit controversy at you and say that it is bad for your kidneys, or it causes cramping and dehydration.

First of all, creatine is a natural occurring product made in your body, so it would only make sense that your kidneys are ready to be handled by the kidneys. Also, the people saying creatine is bad for your kidneys have no scientific studies to back it up with.
Secondly, if you feel dehydrated or are getting muscle cramps while taking creatine – DRINK MORE WATER! Creatine will not directly make you dehydrated or give you muscle cramps.

In conclusion, even though creatine is a fairly new supplement, it has had several studies and has been under a lot of research – and is proven to be safe, and beneficial to mass gains and athletic performance.
