Watch out when taking creatine! You have to drink loads of water (maybe three times as much as usual) because creatine takes water out of the fascia and puts it into the muscle. I got horrible cramping, and strange pains in my lower legs, sometimes going into the forearms and upper legs. Also, it took about two months to leave my system after stopping taking it. I was not even taking a full dose because I don’t weight a lot.

I have been taking creatine for almost 2 years. Everything looks good, but one thing worries me. My BUN was elevated from 17 to 22. So I stopped taking it.

Good info, would like to see references or your opinion on any effect on renal function. From my research not a likely side effect.

Haven't watched the video, but taking creatine has consistently raised my serum creatinine. My kidneys apparently--apart from creatine supplementation--seem to be starting to struggle (creatinine level rising.) I do take a butt load of supplements, some of which probably do impact kidney function, so kind of scared to also take creatine. ??
