Firstly, are the claims for real? Anyone out there taking it who can back up anything that the makers claim it does?
Secondly, is it legal? It seems to be on a par with Creatine which, as far as I can ascertain from other threads on this forum, is not banned.
Finally, are there any hazards to taking something like this?

There is some serious unwarranted paranoia here about creatine. There are two basic facts about creatine supplementation:
1. It enhances short duration exercise performance
2. It has never been shown to have a negative health effect.
I searched a little and found an article to support each of those points. As more research is done and still nobody finds any actual evidence of serious side effects, the tone of reviews seems to be shifting from "creatine is unknown and possibly dangerous" to acceptance of creatine's safety.
Long-term creatine supplementation does not significantly affect clinical markers of health in athletes
Effects of creatine supplementation on performance and training adaptation
If it's proven to be safe and non habitforming then it should be legitimised as a supplement. The issue with steroids is because kids think it's ok and do it..the detrimental risks are too high...
