Hi Everyone,
I’m interested in supplementing with Creatine for the muscle/workout benefits and was wondering if it’s safe. I lift heavy 5 days a week and am always looking to improve my performance.
Thanks!
Welcome to the forum, @Erin.b!
Mayo clinic seems to suggest it is safe (Creatine - Mayo Clinic), though there have been some case reports about it being potentially dangerous to the liver in some people (Cholestatic liver injury associated with whey protein and creatine supplements - PubMed, https://journals.lww.com/ajg/Fulltext/2021/10001/S2909_A_Rare_Case_of_Acute_Fulminant_Liver_Failure.2913.aspx). I could not find any information for specific interactions with Hep B though.

Hi @Erin.b
How is your liver doing after supplementing creatine?
I also want to take it
Hi @Arb,
No major changes in my liver health since I started supplementing with it, however everyone is highly individual and I would consult your dr. before taking it.
Best Regards.
