Hi all, everyone I talk about this and everywhere I look, it is always recommended to never take more than 5g of creatine per day.
So, what happens if we do?
Bonus: how is it always 5g regardless of body weight?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Thank you guys, appreciate the clarification!

There is no defined hard limit for creating intake. In otherwise healthy people, there seems to be little to no negative effect for large doses over a long time period. But I don’t think enough conclusive studies have been done on that to allow anyone to go hog wild on it. Plus, you never know if you have perfect kidneys until they are failing.
[This link](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8401986/) demonstrated that one could intake 5-20 grams per day and show positive effects.
The take away from my comment, read studies to get facts. They usually don’t come from random people online.
