I’m going to tell you everything I know about creatine. The main highlights of this video are the benefits and side effects of taking creatine. I’ve supplemented creatine myself so I know first hand what it does and does not do to the body.
In a nutshell:

Creatine is a naturally occurring substance found in muscles and is also available in supplement form. Here are some of the benefits and side effects of creatine:

Benefits:

Increased muscle strength and power
Enhanced muscular endurance
Improved athletic performance, especially during high-intensity, short-duration activities such as weightlifting and sprinting
Increased muscle size and mass

May have neuroprotective properties and improve cognitive function
Side effects:

Digestive issues such as diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramping
Water retention, which can lead to bloating and weight gain
May increase the risk of dehydration if not taken with sufficient water
Can cause liver and kidney damage in individuals with pre-existing conditions

May increase the risk of muscle strains and pulls due to the increased muscle mass and strength

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, including creatine.
