maybe if you took 10grams per day.
I don't think anyone truly knows, creatine has only been around for 10 years, but your body produces a couple of grams naturally, so as long as you're only supplementing with a few grams per day I do not see how it could be toxic.

it varies for everyone, though. some people find it works with 5g/day, some need 10g, some people even say they dont respond unless theyre taking 20g/day. then there are the people who dont respond at all. just try various dosing for several weeks and see what works for you. when youre taking too much, you'll probably notice some excessive bloating (i say excessive, because some water retention is normal and expected).
