there is nothing wrong with creatine, or at least nothing to be concerned about, most of the issues noted are because
1) user was not hydrated
2)underlying medical condition
you can start taking creatine mono at any stage of your training,
beginner, or advanced trainer, most will recommend that you have a solid diet and some sort of regular training under your belt,
I would recommend anyone give it a try, either your just starting out or are just now thinking of trying it,
go with a cheaper brand and see if you respond to the effects, *note that some people are what are referred to as non-responders, which in effects means that supplementing creatine mono will produce zero results,

Creatine Monohydrate
What exactly is Creatine?
Creatine (Cr) is a naturally occurring amino acid found in muscle tissue of humans and animals. It plays an important role in fueling muscles. The human body has 100 to 115 grams of creatine stored in the form of creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine. Approximately 95% of the body's creatine supply are found in the skeletal muscles. The remaining 5% are scattered throughout the rest of the body, with the highest concentrations in the heart, brain and testes. Creatine is easily absorbed from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. When dietary consumption is inadequate to meet the body's needs, a limited supply can be synthesized from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. This creatine production occurs in the liver, pancreas and kidneys. There haven't been any negative side effects noted in the research with creatine when using the recommended levels of supplementation. But you should be aware that creatine creates a byproduct called creatinine. Creatinine is harmless but it might show up on medical tests as a false indication of kidney problems. Always let your doctor know that you're taking some kind of supplementation when taking medical tests. The human body gets most of the creatine it needs for maintaining its bodily functions from food or dietary supplements. Red meat is the best food source of creatine, however there is only about 1 gram/lb. of meat. Therefore, to notice any positive effect from creatine, you need to supplement. And the only kind of creatine that works well in humans is creatine monohydrate// source from Trulyhuge creatine mono thread
