Creatine ruins your kidneys, i was advised not to take it.
Who ever told you that is an utter moron and clearly does not know anything about weight training; I highly advise you to never lisen to this person again.
1. Creatine occurs naturally in the body.
2. Creatine naturally occurs in meats, but mainly in red meats, such as steak, pork etc.
3. Creatine is prehaps the most researched supplement in weight training history...and guess how many people have reported kidney problems from it? 0 I dare you to show me one study that says other wise.
Also, hydroxycut was just pulled off the shelf for causeing kidney problems, creatine is still there...I wonder why?
One that that gets me is if they pull hydroxycut off the shelf, why not booze and cigs? More people have problems from them than anything else...oh yea....taxes.
