What do you think of using creatine while lifting weights?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Careful: Using creatine, particularly in higher doses and particularly when you might be dry or dehydrated, such as can happen while working out, can pose risk to the kidneys.

No better than meat: Creatine supplements can be effective if you are low in creative to begin with. A better option is simply lean red meat.
