In this day and age, your health is not something you want to gamble with. So without holding you back, here are the most common side effects of creatine powder.

Side Effects Of Creatine Powder #1:
Dehydration. Creatine, in either powder or capsule form draws water away from internal organs. To keep your body hydrated, drink at least a pint of water with each dose of creatine you take in.

Side Effects Of Creatine Powder #2:
Kidney Damage. There have only been a few reports of kidney damage linked with creatine usage, however it is a side effect of creatine you may want to know about.

Side Effects Of Creatine Powder #3:
Diarrhea. This was the most reported side effect of taking high doses of Creatine. Keeping your dosage low, or going on a cycle will help reduce diarrhea.

Side Effects Of Creatine Powder #4:
Muscle Cramping. Apart from Diarrhea, muscle cramping was the next most common side effect.

Those are the most common 4 side effects of Creatine powder. However, there are many benefits to taking this supplement if you are an athlete/bodybuilder. They include:

Increased athletic performance
Increased muscle mass
And many, many more...

Very true, but a lot of those sides come from not drinking enough water, which Im sure more than half the people using creatine make the same mistake.

[mindgame]

as long as you drink plenty of water thing will be fine.

[chrispghmuscle]

^^cosign,, all of the above can be avoided if your drinking enough water.. Like the container indicates..

120 oz. of water + should keep you away from the side effects. Could happen if taken like incorrectly or abused just like everything else

[Tall HardGainer]

yeah, you can get those damages without taking creatine and not having enough water in your system, creatine just makes you more exposed to it thats all because of the water retention in the muscle.

[Hayabusa402]

all of these side effects can be easily avoided by using creatine ethyl ester rather than creatine monohydrate. although proper hydration is always important

[Teamorbit]

Probably can be avoided. To see why please visit my thread on CEE inferior. You should still be able to see it in the supplement forum.

#1 dehydration causes muscle cramping which is #4 side effect. just co signing every one else with the water drinking
