What do you guys think of that? _________________________ The world's a will to power and nothing besides

While there's concern with kidney damage (that study was done on patients with renal failure, go figure) and muscle strains (more than likely secondary to dehydration), it's by far one of the safest supplements to take, and most effective. If your are going to take it, make sure your taking in a LOT of water a day. Think 4 litres. _________________________ "You do not truly know someone until you fight them." - Seraph, The Matrix Reloaded

I think because most of the early research involved maximal strength output (re: lifting weights), people still think of it as a "bodybuilding" supplemnt, versus an "athletic" supplement. _________________________ "You do not truly know someone until you fight them." - Seraph, The Matrix Reloaded
