Exactly How Safe is Creatine Monohydrate?
Hi,
I just purchased a bottle of creatine monohydrate from GNC. Now I'm reading that it can cause cancer and other serious conditions??
Can anyone provide some more health information on creatine? Thank you!!

stop reading whatever rubbish publication that is claiming that creatine causes cancer. creatine is one of only a few supplements that are completely safe and proven effective through medical study

I think he may have read it here.
That guy was only joking.
Like others have said, creatine is safe. It's a worthwhile supp.

I bet, depending on the grade of the product, Creatine could cause some form of cancer if you didn't drink water. (that is if you liver doesn't fail first)
Most monohydrates have a sand like grain to them. I'm sure that could irritate linings of the intestinal tract. Especially if you use the product for several times a day without sufficient water.
Otherwise, I don't see how it could be considered a carcinogen(sp)
. I bet corn husks could do the same thing 
Anything can cause cancer. As a matter of fact, I have seen an article that claims frequent hair brushing causes cancer. Everything in moderation man! DRINK WATER."If you're not part of the solution, you're the precipitate."

would u reccomend just taking a creatine monohydrate alone after a work out(with water of course). or do u need something for the Insulin spike, so take it with something like gatorade.
i took cell tech and liked it..but dont want to spend all that money and have come to agree with alot of members on their oppinions of muscle tech. products.
is the reg. creatine monohydrate just as good if not better than cell tech. or do u need to concauct a creatine/dextrose blend.??

take your creatine with a PWO that spikes your insulin. I just mix up protein powder, dextrose and multodextrin. Maybe add a dash of salt too. Why? Just read this. http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/windowofopportunity.php
