Over use of Creatine... any side effects?

metalmike · 02-02-2009, 12:40 AM

Hi all,

Does drinking Creatine pre-workout supplement consistently create any negative side effects?

To be specific, I train Monday to Friday and do security for a nightclub on the weekend (Friday and Saturday nights, 6pm - 4am is maximum hours) I take AdrenoL8 before each training session and during work. Will this slightly excessive supplementation create any negative side effects?

I'm 6'2'' 98kg 15%BF and 18 yrs old... if it's of any relevance.

No there is absolutley no bad side affects of taking creatine. However if you dont drink enough water while taking creatine then you can have some problems (muscle cramping, kidney stones) just drink alot of water and you should be fine. creatine is 100% safe and anyone in this board will tell you the same

100% safe? I dont know about all that lol but the short term has shown that there is absolutely no damaging effects on either liver or kidney performance.
