I stopped using creatine frequently after I had a bout of renal failure. found out mixing creatine with NSAIDS is a big No No

Creatine is one of the few supplements that are actually worth a fuk.

There are dosing and protocols to use it, and you should follow them.

I run it regardless of what else I'm running.

5 Grams per training day, intra-workout since forever.

I've been taking 5mg's a day for the past 2 weeks can see and feel the difference. Endurance is up and feel bloated my socks are leaving dents in my calves and the whole bit. Will continue to stay on it for another at least 3 more weeks just to see how it works all soaked in a full strength.

Not on steroids b12 or any other supplements of that nature for this experiment.

Some people are non responders. To really know you would have to take it regularly (how ever often your product recommends) for like over a month. If you've got more power and look bloated in the first week then maybe it's worth it. For me I just held a ton of water and had to piss every 30 minutes like I had just chugged a gallon of water (because I did because it dehydrated me). It did however allow me to add 10lbs to squat and bench and pump out more reps. After a week. Couldn't take the constant urinating so I stopped.

Exactly what BC just posted. Creatine is misunderstood so often. The most important thing about it and what it does for you is lending a phosphate molecule to create more ATP for muscle contractions. Really helps with fatigue, pushing to failure, and maximal stress on the tissue. I've always loved creatine.

Creatine should be beneficial if on TRT or natty. It still works the same way regardless.

I'm quite surprised by how many creatine supporters there are. I know the science backs it, but I never got jack shit from it. And if I can't tell I'm using something, then what's the point

You could be a non responder which is estimated to be about 10-20% of the population
