A member asked:

Does taking creatine monohydrate cause heart problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Popular supplement: To build lean muscle mass. One of the most study supplements. It's accepted by professional athletic associations like ncaa. Good for young high performance athletes to increase or maintain muscle mass. 5-7gr a day. Side effects are very minimum. Stay hydrated drinking lots of water. Renal damage is just a theoretical possibility. Worry about your brain injury. Consult a sport physician.
