    Are there risks to creatine?

      Essentially none. Creatine supplementation is a good idea for most people, especially vegans/vegetarians.

        Why especially those?

          Your body can synthesize creatine, so it's not essential, but meat is a source of exogenous creatine and eating it results in higher stored creatine levels, which is slightly good for muscle power endurance in the ~5-15 second effort range. Supplementing produces slightly higher relative improvements in creatine levels in vegetarians and vegans than it does in people who eat meat.
