A member asked:
Could i take creatine? i am a teenager and am aware of the water intake it requires? i am an athlete
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, you should not.: Creatine use has been associated with negative effects, such as high blood pressure and liver problems. Creatine supplements are therefore not considered safe for teenagers.Other creatine-related adverse effects include weight gain, water retention, gastrointestinal cramping, fatigue, and diarrhea.
