Scientific research confirms the effectiveness and safety of creatine, especially when taken in the correct dosage.<\/p>\n<p>Tip from Michaela Mayr:<em> \u201cAs with any dietary supplement, the dose makes the poison. Excessive intake or improper use can lead to side effects such as diarrhea and stomach problems. It is therefore important to stick to recommended dosages and use high-quality products.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Remember that while creatine can improve your athletic and mental performance, it is not a substitute for a balanced, protein-rich diet.
