Hi I Am 41 Years Old And I Have Been

Hi I am 41 years old and I have been lifting weights for over 20 years now. I also am very active in other physical activities. I am struggling with my workouts these days and have been looking to try Creatine Monohydrate but I am concerned that there are to many risks. Would it be smart to try Creatine with the possible effects on the kidneys and even the thought of a stroke?
