Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid and one of the most well-researched dietary supplements. While generally considered safe at recommended doses (3-5 g/day maintenance), proper hydration is essential to prevent cramping and gastrointestinal distress. Individuals with pre-existing kidney disease should consult a healthcare provider before use. Creatine supplementation typically causes temporary water retention (2-4 pounds in the first week). Vegetarians and vegans may see greater benefits from supplementation due to lower baseline creatine stores from diet.
