Are creatine supplements harmful to the kidneys?

Creatine supplements can potentially cause side effects such as diarrhea, muscle cramps, and dehydration, even in healthy individuals. It is important to stay well-hydrated throughout the day and not exceed recommended doses. There is no zero-risk when it comes to using creatine. Long-term data on its effects are not concrete, so it is advisable to consult a nutritionist for more information. Many health insurance plans cover nutritionist services.
