A member asked:

I am taking 60 grams of whey protein with 5 g of creatine daily while going to gym.does these supplements have any side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: They are both "relatively" natural. Creatine is made in the body and passes into muscles where it is stored as creatine phosphate, a form of energy storage. It is lost from muscle and excreted in urine as creatinine. I do not know of any clinical trials that test whether your physical (and mental) capacity is improved.
