High Cholesterol A preliminary study suggests that creatine supplements may help lower levels of blood lipids (cholesterol) in men and women with abnormally high concentrations of lipids in their blood. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) In a few studies of people with congestive heart failure, those who took creatine (in addition to standard medical care) had significant improvement in symptoms and exercise capacity compared to those who received placebo. A February 2002 study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports & Exerciseexamined 15 males and 15 females in a randomized, double-blind experiment that administered 20 grams of creatine per day for five days. There was no increase in blood pressure among the subjects receiving creatine. Considering the limited amount of clinical studies in this area, this single study should not be interpreted as conclusive.

Can teenagers take creatine?
Teens should not start taking it.The answer is yes, people under 18 can take creatine. But.... Given that it's always best to instill the ethics of getting a benefit from hard work and not cheating, many experts recommend NOT having teens take creatine until after high school so they can achieve all they can on their own merit first. Creatine is something your body makes on its own. It's the result of 3 amino acids found in your body naturally. The whole concept behind creatine is that when athletes push their bodies beyond the "normal limits" (lifting, sprinting, etc..) they then need more creatine to help with performance and recovery. So, that's all the supplement does. There are zero side effects in terms of stunting growth. It's not a hormone. It's not a steroid. There should be no "buzz" or stimulant effect. If there is, your creatine has been spiked. Anyone who says creatine stunts your growth is wrong. The only side effects (in my opinion) linked to creatine are gastrointestinal in nature (diarrhea, etc). Should you decide to use a creatine supplement. Be sure you STAY HYDRATED! Part of what creatine does is draw fluid into your muscles (and helps reduce lactic acid build up). And do try to take a protein shake daily. The protein and creatine (both are made up of amino acids) work together to get the results you want. Follow the directions to the letter!The Mayo Clinic has stated that creatine has been associated with asthmatic symptoms. They warn against consumption if you have known allergies. It should also be avoided by anyone with kidney disease. In addition, caution is advised if you have liver disease, diabetes, hypoglycemia, or if you are taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Creatine cannot be recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For more information, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Links.
