Creatine is an amino acid found mostly in your muscles and in the brain. It’s naturally produced in the body, but it's also found in foods like meats, eggs, and fish.
Is Creatine safe?
Yes, Creatine is safe. There are a lot of misconceptions about Creatine, but there is no evidence that it causes muscle tears, harms the kidneys, causes dehydration or other common misconceptions.
Does Creatine have any negative side effects?
Creatine can occasionally cause stomach cramps if you take too much (10 grams or more) at once and do not drink enough water. Some people can experience slight nausea when they first begin using Creatine.
Is Creatine FDA approved?
The FDA regulates prescription and over-the-counter drugs, not dietary supplements. Any statements made have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
