[QUOTE="Will Brink, post: 66277, member: 2074"] As mentioned, no studies have found elevated BP, and in those with healthy kidneys, no effect on kidney function either. So, no reason to worry about creatine use and PB, [I]unless [/I]you have pre existing elevated BP as a contraindication, and I'm only saying that because it has not been studied. I'd hesitate to recommend you do that not knowing the underlying cause of the elevated BP. You could try 1g and see what happens, then go to 2g if you see no impact on BP. 2-3g is all you need it appears. Would likely take weeks or longer as tissue stores increase is my guess. In my view, creatine is advisable for everyone all the time with just a few possible acceptations per above. Creatine has so many potential benefits to mind and body it's a "no brainer" in my view. There's also studies that suggest creatine is good for the vascular system and one study found a drop in BP and a number of studies suggest cardiovascular benefits. Here's an interesting study: [B][SIZE=3]Effects of dietary creatine supplementation on systemic microvascular density and reactivity in healthy young adults [/SIZE][/B] [I]"The main findings of this study are as follows: i) oral supplementation with creatine monohydrate in healthy, moderately physically active young adults improves systemic endothelial-dependent microvascular reactivity; ii) the supplementation also increased skin capillary density and recruitment, which are dependent on microvascular endothelial function; and iii) [B]blood pressure was also reduced after the supplementation[/B]."[/I] [URL]http://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2891-13-115[/URL] [/QUOTE]
