Yes and No..... Creatine is naturally made in your body everyday. When you take creatine all it does it put more mass(water molecules) into your muscle cells.

If you take creatine and drink about one gallon of water a day, you will have no kidney problems what so ever!Creatine is a great product for building muscle faster and I recommend it.
