How does the body react to creatinine?
Creatine supplements have many documented side effects, including nausea, stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, painful muscle cramps, and a host of other unwanted reactions. But what wasn’t known until recently is that these side effects are actually caused by creatinine … NOT the creatine itself. What are the long-term effects of creatinine on the body? While many studies prove that using traditional creatine supplements are safe short-term (<10 years), we do not know for certain what the long-term effects are, if any, of having excess creatinine in the body. Additional research and long-term studies are needed to reach a definitive conclusion. Therefore, bodybuilders and athletes should only ingest creatine sources that remain 100% stable in liquids or stomach acids to reduce or eliminate any possible risks...not to mention all the common side effects associated with creatine use. At this time, only one creatine technology exists that meets this criterion — Kre-Alkalyn®.
