Is creatine safe? Are there any side effects? What kind should I use?

>>35323869
any type except creatine monohydrate is good
expect bloating and water retention until you get used to it
definitely cycle it and take breaks or it will impede kidney function and possibly damage your kidneys

No sides unless you include murderous rage and the urge to massacre your family. Tread carefully op that stuff is dangerous

Its naturally in meat... so yea

I recently started using it OP and I did a bit of reading up on it before I started.

Couldn't find any negative side effects for it anywhere except for some increase in water weight and slight bloating.

I've been using it for just under a week now and have been having 5g, 4x a day, as my mate told me to load it. It also says to load it for a week on the packet.
