TweetI would have told then dont take it.

The massive amounts of protien we consume and the high blood pressure from edema when were on are what we need to worry about.

TweetYou have to take in alot of creatine for it to effect your kidneys, lol! That is unless you are already having kidney probs. She must have got her info from a general practioner.

Tweetcreatine is fine..when taken properly..and for the right amout of time..

Tweetalready had this happen personally...here is my deal

Kidney function levels are tested by the amount of creatinine in your blood.

Creatine gets converted to creatinine in your body.

So all creatine does is give off false alarms when taking it if you get blood work. I was taking CEE (creatine ethyl ester) and my doc took my blood work, came back and almost made it seem if I was going to die. Stopped the creatine, came back one week later and perfect!

Just posted a thread on creatine in the AAS/Health articles forum.

Tweetcreatine is harmless! it's ignorant people like the lady at your gym that pisses me off. they need to do research before they can talk shit. i've been taking creatine for about 4 years on and off; ever since i've been lifting. like Almost There said, you should be more concerned about all the protien being consumed.
