here have also been reported cases of kidney problems with people already suffering from weak kidneys - obviously if you have a history of kidney problems you should use only small amounts of creatine, and do not perform a loading phase. It should be noted that these (simply avoidable) side effects are generally considered far outweighed by the huge benefits of creatine supplementation.

Can be used either continuously or cycled - some people choose to take creatine for around 6 weeks then take a 1-2 week break, in the belief that the body 'gets used' to the creatine and can be shocked into more growth by doing this. Other people simply choose a dosage of creatine (typically 5-10g per day) and use it continuously. There is little evidence to which method is more effective, although you can save some money by cycling creatine (due to using less). In addition to these methods, some people employ a "loading" phase with higher dosages either at the start of their cycle or when they start using it in order to saturate their muscles.
