I am trying to build muscle . age-38. can i take 2 g creatine per day wth no side effects? is this dosage totally safe?

No harm No help: Exercise plus a diet high in protein are the mainstays of increasing/maintaining healthy muscle bulk. Nutritional supplements (as sold in Health Food stores have NOT been shown to be useful with ANY scientifically based medical studies that I am aware of Be Well Hope this helps PS the dosage is safe but you are spending $$$ for nothing!
