Depends: Creatine is a popular supplement among body builders & athletes who are trying to add muscle mass. Check the other ingredients before using it. Excessive of creatinine use and muscle mass will put a burden on Kidney. Talk to your PCP & know your health before using it. If you decide to take it, drink plenty of water (>3 liter/d), check kidney function & CPK periodically as recommneded by your doc.
