Safe but be careful: Creatinie is a combination. Product of three amino acids. Glycine,Arginine and Mythionine. It is extensively used for body builders. It is not a steroid. The dose for those above 18 years is anywhere from. 2.5 to 5 grms a day. Drink plenty of water and at the dose you are taking it is safe, as long as you are not taking any other drugs those are toxic for the kidneys like non steroidal group

Safe: Creatine is a natural substance necessary for muscle strength. Taking a supplement during bodybuilding is safe and has been shown to significantly help body building. I recommend it to people who are overweight and are pursuing a physical fitness program. It appears to be useful in rehabilitating mitochondrial and other neuromuscular disorders with muscle strengthening exercises.
