A member asked:
Can taking creatine can cause kidney failure, high blood pressure, and muscle cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Creatine can be an effective part of an aggressive strength training program, but you have to use it carefully. You don't simply take it and wait to get stronger, you have to put in the extra work that it allows you to do. The biggest mistake people make with creatine is to not hydrate properly and when they don't - cramps and kidney failure can occur.
