I’d love to hear your comments.
Update 1: I will post any studies related to this post here. I won’t leave anybody left wondering.
Update 2: There are a few documented cases. It involved those with pre-existing conditions of kidney (renal) issues known or unknown and one case of misuse of the product and taking too much. No matter, they qualify as documented cases of creatine induced kidney damage.
