>>31143 I too have heard the kidney/liver allegations, but I think this may just be paranoia. It would probably take a very long time (in excess of atleast a couple years) for any irrepairable damage to occur. Atleast, I think. I'm no physician.
If you still want to take creatine (which I have been for a while, btw, and haven't felt or seen an negative affects) and are still worried about what it could do to your health, you can cycle it on and off. Say, a month or two training with it, and then a month or two without it before continuing.
>>How often do I take and when are the optimal times (pre-workout, post-workout) to take it?
Typically a maintenance serving each day, before or after your workout. Go with what the label recommends, but you can do either one in my opinion.
Keep in mind that most creatine supplements require a "loading phase," where you have to take virtually double the regular amount per day for about 5 days. Some (such as BSN's 'Cellmass") don't have this loading phase.
