The amount of creatine varies in different supplements and the amount that can affect your kidney function is not established. Please avoid these and other aminoacid supplements and simply increase your protein intake from food. Please remember that kidney damage is irreversible.
None
In general Creatine intake is a risk factor for kidney damage over time. I don't know how much would be hurtful.
