You do realize those studies are done on a small group right? every body reacts differently there is no absolute its why when you read bottles and meds commercials they say you may get interneal bleeding, constipation, gas, etc as warnings.
I went to the doctor this was 2006 I had loaded creatine, and was taking whey only, I started feeling pain in my intestines and on my back. I was taking creatine for 4 months. I was yellow and went to the doctor, he tested me and said I had Creatinine levels or something, I remember Junior Dos Santos had the same issue his kidneys were in pain and he was sluggihs from creatine in a fight.
The doctor said also my digestive system was not responding well and told me it could be the supplements he ssaid I had to go off of all supplements and go on a soup diet, I was in bed for a week before the pains went away. So after a month off all supps, I did what someone on a bodybuilding forum suggested me to do. he said each week add a new supp or vitamin in and you will find which one is causing the pain.
So first I added the Whey, took that for two weeks no issue, after two weeks I added the Creatine, after 4 days the kidney pains in my back came back so I knew it was the creatine and stopped taking it.
There is some concern that it could harm the kidney, liver, or heart function. However, a connection between high doses and these negative effects has not been proven. Creatine can also cause stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and muscle cramping. Creatine causes muscles to draw water from the rest of your body.
They haven't been proven yet because they havent done enough studies the majority of supps havent been studied or approved by FDA even medicines will have good studies than years later they will have class action law suits, and other studies that contradict those studies and many of these scientific studies are funded by the industry that sells that medicine or supp.
Rely on natural food before supps or chemicals, eat steaks, eggs, chicken, fish, etc.
