Creatine and Kidney ConcernsUpdated 2 months ago
Creatine has been one of the most researched dietary supplements for over three decades. Since the early 1990s, hundreds of clinical trials and thousands of peer-reviewed papers have evaluated its safety and effectiveness. Among all supplement ingredients, creatine is one of the most extensively studied.
Importantly, this large body of research consistently shows that creatine supplementation does not harm kidney health in healthy individuals. The most recent 2025 position stand from the International Society of Sports Nutrition, supported by leading creatine researchers, concludes: “Creatine supplementation is safe, beneficial throughout the lifespan, and should not be restricted.”
In short, the evidence overwhelmingly supports creatine as both effective and safe for long-term use, including with respect to kidney health.
