What's your opinion on creatine?

[Anonymous]

I've been taking it for 3 months already together with my boyfriend. I've seen a HUGE difference in leg and butt mass. My boyfriend didn't see anything really except that his shoulders got more girth (he has a REALLY wide frame)

Anyone else have experience w/ it?

I take creatine tabs, I don't like drinking powders, I think it's disgusting. Except a selfmade protein shake

Creatine can be good but it can be really unhealthy if you take too much of it and if you take it for too long your body will stop producing certain chemicals/hormones that you need because it's getting them from creatine.

I'm not taking the recommended gym amount just a little to boost my gains.

[Z1pTD]

That's smart

[AydenHazor]

When paired with exercise, it's helpful in building muscle and mass where you want it, your thighs and ass for example. If you're not pairing it with exercise, there's no point

[Asker]

My boyfriend exercises his arms but he sees no significant difference

[AydenHazor]

If he's already got large, muscular arms, the difference won't be very noticeable.

[Asker]

He has normal sized arms, he's more of a skinny tall guy with broad shoulders

[AydenHazor]

What's he doing for exercises? More weight and fewer reps or less weight with more reps?

[Asker]

More weight fewer reps

Biggest con out there. Nothing but water weight. It may help those top of their game lift a little extra but for most it's just a placebo.

It's a good antidote to cyanide poisoning though.

That was my experience too. All my bulk would be gone on the next long bike ride, which at the time was 35-50 miles. They say it's good for old people to take to prevent dementia and alzheimers though, so I may start again

It causes weight gain in all the wrong places.

[MrNameless]

Uhh.. water weight only.

[Asker]

It didn't make me gain weight on my stomach or anything tho

[Skull_Anon]

Helps to an extent, if not careful will cause fat gain

[ChefPapiChulo]

creatine is just a chemical that makes you hold more water in your muscles. which helps your muscles perform better. it also causes bloating.

also pics of results pls.

[BigDog1989]

I try not to take anything like that. Foreign to the body TRY not to, is the key word

[Asker]

Our body also gets it from food but taking it when also working out can give a major boost in muscle growth!

[BigDog1989]

Like i said

[balyai]

No I don't. I guess you don't reply to dms much now

[CrimsonAngel09]

I don't even know what that is.

Get it in through meat and fish. Substitute eggs for herring in the morning. I'm not taking creatine powders.

[Asker]

I already eat eggs. I take creatine tabs instead of powder and is much more efficient

[Opinion Owner]

Eggs are not a food source of creatine and carnosine. Replace eggs with fish

[Opinion Owner]

Creatine increases testosterone receptors in your body. Makes sense why your skin looks so old and puffy now

[Asker]

Bruh 😭 that was a picture before I started taking it, I took the pill back then when you said it looked old and saggy. I have a more recent picture in one of my questions. I already eat enough fish and meat but also take creatine 'cause I'm a fan. It makes my butt huge

[Opinion Owner]

I'm happy you care your butt looks oversized. I like small asses and so do most men

[Asker]

I know no one irl that likes small asses LMFAO also not doing it for men, doing it because I love the way it looks. And my boyfriend loves it too

[Opinion Owner]

Like I said I'm happy you're happy with the hand you we're dealt

[Bklynbadboy12]

It's a weight gainer it's gonna make you thick

[Asker]

Explains a lot

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes it does but it's filling you out good

[Christoff92]

It gives nice results to your muscles

[shortster]

It is a waste product found in urine.

[LazerBean]

That's creatinine, not creatine.

[shortster]

What is the difference?

[Chayce]

Creatinine is the waste product of Creatine, an amino acid

[Philyouup]

better staying away.
