Long Term Effect of Creatine

[JSumma]

Been taking this along with my glutamine every night for a few years. Should I be worried? I drink water like a haas out of my Nalgene bottle

Individuals respond to Creatine in different ways. For instance; some individuals are unable to process and absorb Creatine; whereas, an individual like myself can stay on it for 5 years without a break and urine & blood test results are perfect regarding Creatine & Creatinine levels. There is no way of telling without getting your Creatinine levels checked by a specialist, as well as kidneys.

You shouldn't be taking Creatine at night though. That's probably the only time of the day where you shouldn't be taking it. Take it in the morning with a glass of water on an empty stomach or post-workout.

big thanks Turk J! I guess I gotta have bloodwork done and a physical coming up as well. Btw, why do you recommend against nightly supplementation of creatine?

Creatine needs water to work. How many times do you wake up at night to drink water and how much? Compare this amount to the amount of water you would be drinking during the day time and you have your answer
