Can i treat muscle cramps with creatine?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Muscle cramps: Creatine monohydrate supplements can enhance muscle metabolism and may prevent the development of muscle cramps in patients undergoing hemodialysis for kidney disease . In healthy individuals, high creatine levels may cause numerous unwanted effects. Rather than using it for muscle cramp treatment, engage in proper workout routines which minimize cramps. Consult a doctor before using creatine.

Not recommended: Muscles cramps are not not treated with creatine generally. Muscle cramps are treated with flexibility exercises, good nutrition and hydration, and adequate electrolyte balance.
