Creatine is one of the most extensively studied supplements. Yes it is safe to include 3-5 g of creatine. However, please do a blood test to check your kidney functioning.
Do not take any supplement for more than 6 months at a time. Some people may experience bloating or stomach discomfort when taking creatine. We don’t have enough studies to show its safety in the long run.
You can also include food sources of creatine if you eat animal foods like red meat, chicken, fish and dairy products.
