Does Creatine work? I always been more of a non supplement exerciser so all the advice is greatly appreciated?

[Finchie40]

Like I said , I barely ever used supplements when I work out , but I always hear people say take creatine , take protein powder take this, take that etc… , which I have used protein powder before , and I tried some supplements out , but they never really did anything for me , I always considered it a waste of money , but now I purchased some creatine gummies , and just wondering if I am wasting my money again? Just like Pre workout? I have used pre workout for a few months before and it really did nothing for me , so I stopped wasting my money on most supplements that are out there , but I always hear creatine , you need creatine , So anyone take creatine and feel any results from it?

I've used it and my husband has used it, both with slightly hurt results. It does work though. For him and his friend that used it, it made them quickly gain 10 lb, water weight. The way it's supposed to work is it makes your muscles retain water, which makes them both look bigger and also recover more quickly. And that's exactly how it worked for them. For me, I didn't gain weight and I don't feel like I really like I looked much bigger. But I feel like I was not sore for as long as I had been before.

No it doesn't. The bulk of the early evidence comes from one source (with a vested interest in sales) and has been quoted ever since. At a professional level it will help you squeeze out one more rep but for most people it's just a placebo. What stops you doing the next rep is nearly always psychological not physical and certainly not a lack of creatine. We know this because of blood analysis tests during training.

Thank you for the advice , sadly I was suckered in to buy it , since I hear so many people tell me you have to take creatine , I blame myself for being suckered , so I am still going to take it , since I already started , but once the bottle is finished I more than likely won’t buy again if I don’t see any results from it , for years I have tried different supplements and for years I didn’t take supplements and I honestly didn’t experience any difference whatsoever. Working out and eating better is the key to achieving results , and I have achieved results without any supplements, so it’s all in the mind to motivate yourself , These companies are making a shit ton of money for brainwashing people to believe their shit actually works. Thank you again for the advice

they should work at least some... if they're used properly and combined with other stuff

if you use it too much and combine that with bad habits... kidneys might suffer with it, lol

I don't believe in it. My best results come from eccentric overload and MCT oil C8 for energy and then Comvita Manuka honey after workouts tor replenishment.

Go on line and research the different types.

[Finchie40]

I do but still most of it is bullshit just trying to get your money

[Sunnysunny123]

It worked slightly for me, i think since you mentioned in a comment that you bought it already train and eat as you usually do, don't increase too much in weight and take pictures or videos every day from the same angle and same light for minimum a month and it should show.

Yes but you need a good brand.

[Finchie40]

How long did you take it before seeing results

[Finchie40]

And can you recommend good brands? I just bought Con Cret Gummies , they have good reviews for the most part , I just started them today
