Use moderately: Creatine, as an added protein source  to help build muscle, is generally safe in moderate amounts over a limited period of time, 3-6 months. It is a good idea to get blood tests for liver and kidneys to make sure you are tolerate it well.

Question 8

are creatine supplements bad for me?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: Such supplements are not studied enough by researchers because these supplements are not FDA-approved drugs for treating particular disorders. Nobody knows for sure what happens if a person takes performance-enhancing supplements. So, it is best for all athletes to train and build their bodies the natural way, with healthy nutritious foods, avoiding sports supplements or body-building supplements.

Question 9

is it bad to take creatine at a younger age?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Studies are very inconsistent on creatine intake especially in young athletes going to the gym. While a study done in 2005 by pline et al showed no effect on kidney function, creatine role and influence in elderly and people with impaired kidney function is still unknown. I personally do not recommend it to my patients

Question 10

is creatine ok for me to take? is it bad for me or a thing because im wanting to take it for workout reasons.

Accepted Answer

Stay natural: A 17 year-old gets the creatine his body needs by eating foods that contain creatine, and by his own body making new creatine. Creatine is an amino acid (protein building block) that's found in meat and fish, and also made by the human body in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Creatine supplements are not needed for normal teens doing sports or not doing sports.
