I use creatine before I lift (10 grams) and 40g of protein after. I use GNC products for both of them. They both taste really good, make sure if you do use them, to get chocolate! haha

the only downfall to protien loading that I have heard of is the breakdown of calcium in the bones. that kidney one sounds a bit different.
also, creatine has been proven in tests to cause damage to the kidneys if you do not take in a good amount of water with it. So be careful with the stuff. I use to take it, but then figured I didn't want to anymore because it was artificial strength.
