A member asked:

I take creatine before i do triathlons. sometimes i start shaking uncontrollably and get horrible headaches after competition. is this causing damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Creatine requires a large amount of water to properly metabolize. In fla. In 2012 an adolescent died taking creatine when he failed to adequately hydrate. Be very cautious as triathlons are in themselves very dehydrating.
