I dunno.. I would best avoid it. If you want protein there are plenty of good natural foods you can eat that are perfectly safe and cause no side effects whatsoever. Egg whites, almonds, nuts, spinach, chicken, etc, etc are all available in plenty. So why experiment with creatine? Further, I read somewhere that these things could possibly make a man impotent or sterile.
My advice? NO Creatine
I know a couple of people that took it and the main side effect was to their digestive system - they could clear a room with their "emissions" if you get what I mean!
