I used to take Creatine daily, but didn't keep up with water intake. You don't have to do the "loading phase" it'll just take longer for your body to get accustomed to.
Creatine is insane for your brain as well. Nerons are extremely metabolically active and your overall brain health can benefit huge from regular creatine. Helped my mood, memory, and cognition significantly after just 1 month!
Belonging to medical field, i paid close attention to creatine when i took it. I took 2-3 grams/day creatine monohydrate in 2021 for around 6-8 months. No loading phase and to be gentle on my kidneys, I cycled it one month on and one month off. After a cycle month, I had Kidney function test done at the end of my off month and my Urine creatinine came out 1.02mg/dl (Normal threshold for the lab was 1.00mg/dl) so I'm not 100% confident regarding creatine's safety but its approx 95% safe
@@redbullstatusThat's absolutely false. Absorption and efficacy results vary from person to person. Don't insult people because they gave tangible data, read a few hundred credible studies and go do you.
Not all creatine supplementation is the same. Take a look at Momentous, it's a good clean product developed by and with a Stanford University neuroscientist who has a huge channel following called The Huberman Lab. I have found good results for the 100M men's butterfly trials in Indy back on May 21st. Putting any undue load on your liver, pancreas and kidneys is always something to keep in the front of your brain. Always cycle off. And tbh I only recommend it if you're blood type is O. Why? Because O type blood is the optimal body chemistry to process creatine through the system. No other blood type does it better. That's not saying they have better kidneys or livers, but the HCl and digestive enzymes they possess offer the opportunity for it to be cleared from the system and ulilized by the system the best. Think purity. And buy the best you can afford. Loading your brain up with heavy metals from unprocessed product is an extremely difficult chelation process to remove once it's in there. You did a good thing by asking. Good luck with your fitness journey.
Thank you for your videos Chris! I've been following them and am down from 227 lbs to 205 lbs now in 2 months now. My journey is still young, but I've been able to do things I couldn't have dreamed of doing before like being able to do 6 pull ups now. This is just the beginning 💪
Most important:- take it with warm water if you are facing bloating or something Reason: creatine is kore soluble in warm water and more absorption in warm water 😊
My doc told me to stop supplementing it for a bit because of kidneys. Seemed to help while I was on it though. Hopefully I can go back on it in a month or so
Thanks so much for this video! Chris I know you know you’re a big inspiration and all but you’re more than just that. You’ve helped so many people including me with my fitness journey and have changed so many lives. I hope you take away that the amount of help you think you’ve given is no where near the amount of help you’ve actually given. I hope I win the giveaway. Stay hard Chris!
Been taking creatine since September which makes it almost 10months. It definitely works, first month of taking it made me feel like a monster and afterwards i’ve been feeling so dehydrated and had some constipation but now I don’t feel any side effects. Would recommend . . . (pls give me merch)
@@woozie7034 I used loading faze, then continued on 5 gram a day for about 2 months. Once I stopped taking creatine, I no longer had chunks of hair falling in the shower!
Dammm this video couldnt have came at a better time have been curious about creatine as its been recommended to me while have been trying to lose fat and become more fit ^^ thank you for the info and also the workout videos has been helping me everyday to keep on going ^^
Unfortunately I had to stop a month ago. My hair thinned severely since taking it 6 months ago. I really wish I could stay on it as it worked wonders for sure.
Gained 10 lbs in 1 month of taking creatine and eating more. I was at 196 and ppl were on Snapchat begging me for workout tips all the time lol I loved it
The moment the word "Pancreas" is used, it's probably better to not use it. Many people who took forbidden products suffer from Pancreas Cancer. Even my grandfather got it, who took a lot of medication. His parents were almost 100 and his father even asked to die since he couldn't handle his wife anymore. My grandfather didn't even reach 80, but I can promise you that many young people now might not even reach 60, because of stuff like this. It's claimed to be natural, but it barely is. You might think I'm a fool, but we can talk later again, if possible.
Thanks chris for this informative video. Please come up with such video’s more often where you make athletes aware about what they consume and the benefits . Make a video on Glucosamine ,lot of people have myths about taking micro nutrients like this one. Thanks a Ton 👍
extra creatine may create negative feedback loop and "pause" the enzymes that make your body's own creatine, but the enzymes are still there and transcription levels are too, so once extra creatine is taken out, the enzymes will start synthetizing your normal genetically pre-determined amounts very quickly. I wouldn't be too worried. Plus, another longitudinal study just came out saying it won't damage your kidneys. So I wouldn't be too worried.
I felt good on creatine and did feel larger, but I got terrible muscle cramps. Any time I had to flex and hold, the muscle would start to painfully cramp. I tried cycling off and back on 2 times and the cramping would go away and then come back once I was back on creatine. So at least for me, it wasn't worth taking.
i used to take 2 different types of creatine, didn't really notice much difference. But I used because my brother always shared his supplements with me when he comes back home because that's the only way he works out. I don't really buy supplements, I only use the ones he's recommending and giving to me. I keep training when I run out of supplements. But I think it's the lack of consistence in just one that is making this slow. Maybe I should just focus on proteine.
I didn’t notice much of a difference in muscle fullness when I took it. I was very bloated too. However…I had so much energy at the gym, muscles recovered better, and I pushed myself so much harder. I was like the Hulk at the gym. It was pretty amazing. I will start taking it again when I get on my fitness.
I’m studying that ketones are produced in the liver. And Creatine intake may suppress this energy process in the place of the Creatine for energy. I do 3 day cycles and periodically cycle on and off. Balancing my bodies ketone production utilizing a ketogenic diet and using a Creatine supplement to get more athletic performance.
Chris I love your content and your videos help keep me inspired and motivated to workout regularly (every other day for a minimum of an hour) I know it’s not a ton but it’s a good start and I am seeing improvements, but your videos do help keep me motivated bc I’ll see one and be like alright let’s go and that’ll get me started.
I won't lie Chris I'm a little skeptical about supplements, I have seen friends, who haven't worked out for a while getting fat so thinking of ther history it was creatine 😅
yall im 14 how much grams of creatine should i take. Ive been using it for about 2 months and it def works however ive been taking 10 grams. I have no idea if its healthy or not jsut wanted to know.
it didn't work for me, is it possible? I tried several times and couldn't do the exercises all the way through, before that I did all the training when I wasn't taking it... interesting
Thank you for the video🙏 But should calisthenic athletes take creatine? Since calisthenics althetes work with relative strength wouldn't the added weight from taking creatine make it harder?
Blood work is extremely important to ensure that creatine is not causing problems with kidney and liver function. Many doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center found that soldiers who regularly used creatine had an increase risk of problems in those areas. This is directly from them when I talked to them when my wife worked there. For me... The risk isn't worth it.
@@redbullstatus I did, also did all sort of tests / blood tests. Everything was fine. I stopped creatine and everything came back to normal. We’re just not all on the same page for that kind of product.
@wrackwillis4791 I’ve took it for like almost 2 months. Was fine the first days but after a while I was not able to sleep. So I don’t know about your case. Again, not everyone react the same with it so I won’t say this is a bad product. Just didn’t work for me. I would say, try again for few days then stop and see how your body responds to it.
There is no link between creatine and hair loss currently, and with creatine probably one of the most researched supplements out there, I’d say you’re generally safe in the recommended amounts. But obviously, your choice.
