The Claim
Long-term creatine monohydrate supplementation at doses up to 30 g/day for a duration of up to 5 years is not associated with clinically significant adverse effects on renal, hepatic, or hematological function in healthy individuals and clinical populations, including athletes and patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking creatine monohydrate every day for up to five years, even at high doses, doesn’t seem to harm your kidneys, liver, or blood in healthy people or those with brain-related diseases like Parkinson’s or ALS.
