I've started working out again, been going at it for a few months now. Not lifting super heavy weights yet, trying to gain weight. Is creatine a good idea? Anything to watch it for, as far as brands, side effects, etc? I've been trying to read up on it, it sounds pretty safe but I'm new to all this stuff.

    It's not a good idea or a bad idea. It might help you a tiny bit. It won't hurt you. If you stop taking it, you may regress slightly on your progress.

    But honestly, supplements are a fool's game. If your goal is to feel strong and healthy, you will get there naturally with a normal diet. If you want to look like a Marvel hero, you're gonna need to gear up anyway, and that's way out of scope for casual advice.
