Can using creatine supplements cause strokes or other bad things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Apparently so: Creatine is widely used by many young men who are trying to build muscle but most don't realize it has many potential hazards. Side effects can include ischemic stroke, high blood pressure, agitation, elevated liver enzymes & kidney inflammation, though it's not clear how common these are & most people have few if any side effects Side effects increase with high doses.
