"Creatine is dope" is the only thing my mother heard from this short
😂😂😂
OMG SON YOU'RE DOING DRUGS?
Mom, chill! If I don't warm the " creatine" up in the spoon it's going to mess up my veins. Rest is really important for recovery. I'm going to take this creatine and just crash here on the floor for a few hours, don't disturb me.

Yassss. Someone finally talking about this
Nah fr bc I’m so smooth with it now
I don't get this.. what do you mean bro?
Not if you're a bird
My girl needs to get on this then.
In school, I remember reading about a protest back in 1773. Ships from the East India Company dumped 342 chests of creatine into the Boston Harbor.
ima drink some of dat water
Imagine the jacked fish
And that’s how we got the great white shark. What they don’t want you to know!!!!

Creatine supplementation helps your nervous system and mental health because it takes stress off of your methylation system. Your body needs creatine and makes it on its own. It requires a methyl group to make, and is highly prioritized, which leaves your body with fewer resources to methylate other important compounds, for example basically all B vitamins and choline. For people who are already poor methylators, such as those like myself with the MTFHR gene, supplementing creatine is a huge physical and mental game changer.
As a fellow MTHRFKR mutant, i will concur. Shit's legit. Might i also steer you toward TMG supplementation? Theres an additional MTF molecule as a byproduct of TMG breakdown. Helped a ton! Ive halved my b12 dosage and Methylcobalamin supps using these 2 alone. Methylfolate has become ridiculously expensive if you havent noticed 😢
Future nobel prize guys? You seem to be the first to know. Actually there are just strong pointers for creatine boosting mental and brain health, however the body of science is still unsure why 🤷♂️
Thanks for your high quality comment!
So essentially, if you're not a mutant, creatine does very little to nothing...
Creatine in "natural" occurring dosages is safe. But the question is how many seeking easy initial gains are taking or sticking to "normally" occurring amounts found in the body. What ever happened to simply putting in the work???
Those porn bots are fast.
Yt allows them but not freedom of speech smh
I am so inspired by your courage and understanding to share your intellect on this subject. 😂
I'm not sure what that last person was trying to say, but it didn't sound smart at all. It sounded like a bot to me.
@@Stringingbear9299Exactly
(It wasn't you that I was talking about from my previous comment sorry)
I never see them. And i youtube alot* wonder why. I wont deny that those exist 😂
It's written in the United States Bill of Rights. The right of the people to be secure in their Creatine shall not be violated.
The first ammendment right to Creatine is necessary for the second ammendment right to bare arms
How long does it take to grow bear arms when taking creatine?
Careful, any more rights are a suggestion. Before long, they'll be banning creatine because it's not necessary
All men have been creatine equal.
We could easily create a tin full of these jokes
Im a sheet metal worker the old school kind so i hammer out car panels for hours with hammers and use a english wheel all day holding up panels and creatine genuinely helps my endurance and brain function no brain fog i seem more energetic and more focused and just switched on
I’m a sheet metal worker too in hvac, and I noticed my mental math is noticeably sharper while on creatine. It’s the first thing I notice losing if I forget to take it a few days
What brand or type is great to take ?
@@oliverdavis2721 just use creatine monohydrate, any creatine mono at your local supplement store should be good
What brand?
What brand good sir?
Started using creatine 6 months ago.I am almost 63 and was very skeptical?But.I definitely noticed a few things.First?My vascularity is ridiculous!😮Second?My ability to go heavier!Is it all in my head?I truly do not think so as I have tried a litany of supplements in my lifetime and within a month my workouts were harder,better,and heavier.Worth a try.
That's awesome! I've been taking it every day for 6 months and the only difference I've noticed is that I'm not dying for a drink of water every 30 minutes, which is very nice! 😊
Damn Ma you fine as shit do you know what I am saying? For real 63, training hard and following Dr Mike? DOPE.
Excellent. Just be cognizant of any medicines you may already be taking and make sure your doctor is aware. May want to watch your blood pressure and kidney function at your age. Otherwise, congrats on your excellent gains.
You should try pine pollen extract. Most men in my opinion should be taking it. Funny it's not talked about more cause it's a natural steroid. You can basically live off it.
Men and women can take it and it's safe.
Never forget skull day
For real bro 😂 looks like a ninja turtle

I think alot of people just want super fast instant results so creating is underwhelming cuz it’s not a super soldier serum. But I noticed just basic set to set recovery and the ability to maintain my strength throughout my workouts more easily. Great for long term progress!
Creatine almost instantly makes my muscles look and feel fuller from the selective water retention. It's within a few days of taking it
I didn’t think creating worked until I stopped taking it and my strength noticeably decreased. Now I don’t want to stop taking it though especially for the mental effects. I just feel sharper while on it

Huberman really promoted turksterone? Oh god...
I feel validated in knowing that my initial reaction to huberman ("this smells like bullshit") was totally, totally correct.
@@dariadari3370 Afaik he mentioned it a couple times but didn't actually promote it, much less shilling it.
Think I saw a vid where he mentioned it, but I wouldnt say he was promoting it or downright shilling it.
@@GOAT-rl2uq Since he has become social media famous he's started to talk a lot about things that are not his field of expertise. And in the meantime, most of the products he recommends is just advertisement he gets paid massively for, not because it's really backed up by science.
Oh my God! First ever healthy doping! I was waiting for that for so long, thank you, sir.
I initially started taking creatine for weight lifting but it is also considered a nootropic as well.
I am 77. Been working out for 2 years (weights/resistance). Started creatine about 2 months ago and started putting on muscle mass for the first time since I was much younger. No doubt in my mind that it works. Before the creatine I was increasing in strength but I was not getting hypertrophy. I am now!
Ive definetly noticed to be more in tune with my mind
And feel more strength when lifting
I found a study that showed it might be helpful for myalgic encephalomyelitis, so as it has a well studied safety profile, I gave it a go. The effect is mild but noticeable, especially for energy and brain fog, and helps with my lifting too. I'm impressed
Love that Huberman is catching strays

You have literally made some carbon copy of the same shitty NPC joke shilling for some dude on the internet you’ve never met, which is just hilarious and ACTUAL NPC behavior
Love your content and approach. Thank you.
Thanks for the reminder to take my daily dose 🤘🏽
I've cycled on and off creatine for about 15 years. But, a funny thing happened around the age of 38. I started getting anxiety spells and panic attacks, which would resolve itself every time I cycled off of creatine. I've tried different brands, but it always makes me anxious now. This is a shame because it really helped me build strength quicker.
Nothing wrong with creatine everything Dr Mike says is true but for some people there's no effect I guess it truly depends if you are deficient in it naturally in your body or not??
I know a few including myself who tried it and did not see much of a difference
Creatine is legit so cool, especially when you’re starting off. it gives you that water weight pump that motivates you to keep going. I never really did much research on it so I don’t know the actual science behind it. But I always used as like a placebo, ofc I know it’s water weight post workout but it gives a glimpse of the potential which motivates me to keep working
love how chill this dude is
So i started taking it at 37. Ive felt great. Not only muscle mass wise but my brain. I hust read another study it is helping prevent dementia!
It also excelerates the balding proces for men
Let the women have the hair. Let them be pretty.
😂 so it makes only man go bald 😂
False.
Its proven to increase dht levels, and dht is related with male pattern baldness, so yes, creatine if you are prone to mpb, it speeds up the process @@HANNIBALBARCA267
Creatine also delays depression syntoms
Its always the baldness fear keeping me from not using it
Check out jeff nippards short on creatine. Nothing to worry about
Yeah let me tell you one thing then u decide. Creatine stores more Water in the muscle. There if u drink heavy yeah u have some big muscles quickly but. But u lose it quicker then u think. And first you should look if your body can take it. 1 month on one month of but its Just for hollywood shit. Go oldschool and have pacience
You ain't gonna get bald from taking creatine. Tf? Lol
@Serralas it increases DHT levels, which is what causes hairloss for people genetically prone to it. It wont make u go bald overnight, but if you're destined to go bald as you age, creatine can speed up the process
It can give symptoms of bph to some
Awesome. I started using it again recently & am very happy to hear this research confirmation. I feel better on it & have added it to my daily hydration. 🎉
I loved creatine, really saw the benefits. But it reeeally increased my blood pressure, as it frequently does in people prone to hypertension. Had to stop taking it.
Interesting side effect.
Cut the dose in half.
I can’t take it, it makes me throw up and get stomach sick.
@@efrenreyes3863 dissolve in hot water, drink with tea?
* Read warnings about taking creatine while using Cialis/Tadalifil. Cardiology issues.😮
Dr Mike ?
Get your health and diet in order. You've got bigger (or smaller lol) problems.
Viagra has interactions with certain other drugs. Examples include the blood pressure medications amlodipine, losartan, and clonidine. However, Viagra is not known to interact with alcohol or supplements. And of course always get your checkups before you take any supplement i get my full body / bloodwork done twice a year.
I’ve recently added creatine back into my diet and I’ve noticed increased muscular endurance. Weights and sets that used to wear me out are not as hard anymore. I can lift a little heavier, add another set, or workout a little longer. Creatine, protein powder, and a multivitamin are all I take. Otherwise, I just try to eat a protein-rich diet with plenty of meat and dairy. Creatine is pretty awesome.
If you have Blood pressure issues …
It can also exacerbate it . The water retention aspect of it can make BP worse . But it does work . Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Why would retaining more water raise BP? I feel like my BP is good when I’m hydrated
@@Justin-st6og google bro , 😎
it retains water in the cells in the muscle. Blood pressure is raised when fluid is increased in the blood via salt, however the kidneys keep the salt levels where it needs to be. Cut sugar out of your diet and watch you blood pressure drop. Insuline in the blood causes pretty much all issues from diabetes to strokes to heart attacks.
Who proved this?
It’s really helped my powerlifting.
i love the verbosity of Dr Mike
I take creatine, collagen, and preworkout BEFORE my sessio , creatine and collagen is important for MORE THAN MUSCLES. they help joins, ligament, brain and cognitive function, speed recovery, etc
And it also accelerates balding if you are genetically prone to it
Only one study showed that. No other study could replicate the increase in DHT
it did make my hairt thinner and gave me massive anxiety.
Ok then take a DHT blocker and u will be fine
I was using to take daily 5gr of creatine and 8gr of BCAA. I've noticed that I had erectile dysfunction. When I cut them both I came back to my normal.

I love Dr. Mike throwing subtle shade on snake oil salesmen like Andrew Hueberman 😂
my wife is starting to use it for menopause. I've been using it on and off all my life. ❤
The problem with creatine is that once you stop taking it you lose a lot of muscle and gains.
That’s not true, it ain’t like steroids, it just increases the speed at which you grow now the limit
@@extremeencounter7458 false! You definitely lose gains and muscle. Read sir. All it takes is a google search to see how it schematically interacts with the body.
3/4.5k calorie diet with 150g of protein a day and light LIGHT full body workouts. Added ONE 16oz water with creatine a day (plus normal water intake). I went from being stuck at 135 lbs looking like a pale white limp fish stick not being able to ever gain weight to 155 in a SINGLE MONTH. my biceps gained over an inch in size and I physically looked and felt the absolute best I ever have in my life. I dont do ANYTHING else. I have and always will recommend Creatine and protein powder as the only two things you truly need to buy other than chicken and rice if youre serious about getting into shape. It's a tried and true natural method and it will change your life!
Remember, the big tub of mono at vitamin shoppe used to be like $11.49? Well, not anymore. That same tub is now like $35 bucks! Huberman does to supplements what DeMuro does to cars.
When creatine first came out in the 90’s I remember paying $150 for 200grams.
I've never bought supplements but looking at the prices I'm just gonna stick to protein powder
mono is ok ,check out CHL creatine hydrocloride .you use less and get better absorption.
@@adriandurham10 it lasts you a LONG time. my 500g bag was like $30 and has lasted me a few months whilst taking it daily.
Huberman is responsible for inflation now too? Lmao. Def not related to our shitty economy at all, huh?
Yep. One of the 2 supplements I recommend. It works well for me.
Dear Dr. Mike.... I'm a new lifter, just hit week 5! I am currently taking no supplements whatsoever, but have been reading a lot on HMB. Could you please do a quick breakdown on HMB?? I'd be forever thankful.
Just take some leucine on top of your protein supplement, literally same results. Leucine is broken down into HMB so it's way cheaper than buying HMB. You'll get more results with creatine though. And right now at week 5 I wouldn't even bother with anything other than dialing in your diet, creatine will give bigger gains than HMB for sure...
Probably not worth taking, just stick to creatine and eating good quality protein my man 👍
@connorhall8463 the clinical studies on it are really very interesting though! 3000mg of HMB and especially paired with Vit D3 have show time and again to help muscle growth when paired with weight training and help burn fat, and even protects against muscle loss. It was given to cancer and HIV patients and the results were pretty crazy.
@@connorhall8463 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%92-Hydroxy_%CE%B2-methylbutyric_acid
I know it's just Wikipedia, but it is a very compelling read.
I agree 100 with ya, that's why I tried it. I think it is one of the very few supps that actually work. I've also tried adding leucine to my protein shake, and consistently take creatine. I'm just saying that right now at 5 weeks in, I don't think it's worth the cost for you. If you're training decently and eating enough calories and getting 1g/lb of protein, you'll make gains, the best gains you'll ever get. When you hit a hard spot, then absolutely start taking supplements. I'd milk the newb gains for all I could first. No supplements are magic, it's the hard work and diet and consistency that get you big/cut, supps make up 5 maybe 10% in the end.
I think it works about as well a taking large amounts of glutamine. At least, that was what it did for me, you could very well be different, if you've got money to burn on something and want to try it, then hell yea, throw it in it won't hurt I just don't think you'll get noticeable results since your in the very beginning stage and that's when the most gains are made...
I just started creatine 1 mo th ago my lifting has Increased alot loving this stuff
LOVE that Huberman is being called out on his BS
Name a single thing he’s said that’s “BS”
turkesterone
Great focus
Don’t you get enough through a balanced diet with animal protein sources? Even if you lift weights a few times a week?
Not even close enough what you get through powder so you can'take take creating and say I am still natural for example by that logic people on TRT are naturals.
No. To get 3-5 grams of creatine from red meat daily you would need to be eating 5-10lbs of pure muscle tissue.
"enough" is a loaded word.
You get "enough" creatine by doing nothing - Your body will produce enough on its own to run the basics on.
Any that you intake, up to the limit where your cells are full of the stuff and can't use any more, adds more performance. So eating lots of meat does provide some creatine and provide some benefit...
But, like the other reply said, you'd need to be eating very unhealthy amounts of meat to get enough to match the level of creatine given in supplements for the studies that show the results we talk about.
(I'm not sure if the studies accounted for the meat intake of the participants, either, so it is possible that the amount of meat you'd need to reach that amount would be on top of normal meat intake, which is already high for average Americans)
Your body naturally can make more than 7 times what it needs without consuming any. The only people that are actually benefiting from it are people on anabolic and hormone replacement cycles.
The amount of food you'd have to eat to get the same level as supplements is unnecessary and supid. It's easier to scoop 5 grams in a glass of water and just drinking that.
Absolutely true.
Early but not earlier than the porn bots
It will also lead to a possible kidney transplant. Look up New Zealand rugby, creatine and kidney transplants.
Thinned out my hair every single time I took it. Grew back when I stopped. Great results though, muscle wise.
Wow same for me, my hair fall fastens when using it, stops when I stop taking 😅
Me tooooo bro. My hair line receded on it
Thanks for coming out about this. The only reason I’m scared to take it is cos of this, and I’ve already gotten periods of time where my hair fall is bad, so I’m fairly certain creatine will make it worse. Guess I’ll have to keep off it :/
Same
@@p0k3mn1 why is it untrue.
I am a stocker at Walmart and I take before work and it is amazing because I have crazy focus and I am never tired.
Used creatine for 2 years nonstop. But have been peein like crazy. Would wake up like 3 times while sleeping to pee. Also did my creatine levels checked and man they were 1.27 which is more than the upper limit. And i have been taking 2.5 grams of creatine for 3 months while before that i was taking 5, gram. Now for first time im taking a break from creatine for alteast 6-8 weeks as my creatine level is high and been peeing like crazy.
Yep, peeing is a downside to taking it.
Bro, what exercises are you doin for your eyelids?

Actually, no, urban myth.
@@donaldkasper8346no, it’s true. Happened to me. Luckily it grew back.
@@BioTurk Hundreds of things going on. Sounds like chemo or toxic chemical exposure to me. No link to hair loss and creatine in populations.
@@donaldkasper8346It is true, unfortunately. It all started being very visible in the NBA in the 90s.

I agree with everything said. I also agree with the recommended dose that is always stated on the package. I found if you go over 5 grams consistently, you'll get rashes. When I did so, the rashes would always appear on the back of my calves.
Were there any benefits to going over 5 grams?
Reduces cancer risk as well
But what product is the best to be taking? There are so many on the market, how do we know that the product we are taking, is the correct one?
Creatine is creatine bro. Just don't get "blend" or "matrix" creatine supplements. Pure creatine
Creatine Monohydrate. Simple, cheap, effective.
Creatine Monohydrate stick to the basic
Monohydrate and monohydrate only, not any of the other variants. If you can afford it look for Creapure on top of that, that's the seal of quality.
Was looking for this thread. ThAnks to everyone who answered :)
As someone on TRT, cutting creatine from my regimen helped get my red blood cell production in check. No more having to donate every few months.
it gives you the shits
Sounds like a you problem😂 I take twice the minimal dose and don't have any digestive or toilet problems
It gives YOU the shits bud.
There is a handful of anecdotal instances where certain types can certainly increase gastric distress or disturbances in the bowel.
I shit better with it, I only have to wipe twice sometimes now it’s awesome
What creatine supplement would you advise to take? Are there ones better than others?
The cheapest you can find labeled “Creatine monohydrate”. Bulk supplements is probably closest to the cheapest
I see a lot of people are saying that creatine is good for you but what happens when you stop taking it do your muscles revert back
Creatine helps filling your muscles with water and makes them look fuller and slightly bigger, this effect is gonna disappear after a few weeks off creatine
But all the other effects aren't really things that you can "take back", creatine increases you training effectiveness and disposition, so if you took creatine for 6 months you had better gym sessions and hypertrophy for 6 months, regardless if you stop taking now
Only will lose water weight but keep muscle gains from taking creatine
Nothing but it’s so cheap there’s no reason not to take it forever unless you compete in a sport where you’ll need to cut weight.
If the gains are from the f=ma equation, yeah they will go away. When I get on it I gain 10 lbs of water mass. I look great. But I do figure skating. I couldn't even sit spin anymore with all the extra mass. Also didn't feel healthy to be at 195 at 5'10. My heart felt really inefficient and I couldn't run a mile in less than 11 min.
I also got a groin pull prob from having extra mass in my legs my adductor tendons weren't ready for. So now I'm out of commission doing rehab shit for a month and losing everything I had.
Some sports don't get better on it regardless of what the studies say.
Anything that will instantly change you when you stop quickly for muscle...don't take. Load up with raw eggs for mass
Creatine to me loses its effects after a while. I still take it because its relatively affordable but i only noticed significant improvements during my newbie gains phase. As a seasoned lifter it really doesnt make or break my workouts or progress.
Heh, I like that poke on Andrew Huberman. Definitely I trust Dr Mike more
Love this
Can someone tell me the side effects of it? I’m 29. Down 75 pounds and put on some muscle with just Protein Powder and BCAAS. People keep telling me to take it but I’m not sure…
I’m 5’9 225 if that helps.
Nobody tells you this but it can damage your kidneys in the long run.
@jdr4674 have you seen more than 1 case study that was pretty old? Sincerely asking because I've only ever seen the one that was never reproduced
There really isn’t side effects other than one or two studies saying it can aggravate hair loss, or you know if your stomach is sensitive maybe it can upset it, as long you’re drinking plenty of water you should be fine there’s studies done with cases where people took creatine for 5 years every day continuously and experiencing no side effects
@@jdr4674no it doesn’t you have no idea what you’re talking about dude
I’ve heard you have to drink a lot of water when you use it or it can Fuk up for kidneys if you don’t keep up on water intake.
Mixed with bacon grease it's no longer grainer. Yet still helps it look bigger
Glad to hear someone finally calling out Huberman for being the leading broscientist on the internet
creatine actually feels like it helped me so much
Been on creatine for 4 weeks starting to have hair fall...
Seriously?
Nope, because the hormone level increase still puts it way under the "too high" mark and is similar to the increase you get just from increasing your exercise levels. (Because exercising also increases DHT) Bro is just spewing nonsense or was already going bald and wants to blame something other than genetics. *source: literally any research at all* @N00BTUBER987
Creatine doesn’t cause hair loss dude. You’re probably just noticing it and making patterns because you’ve heard that bullshit on the internet. There is zero evidence that it causes hair loss and the only reason people think it does is because 1 study nearly 20 years ago showed a correlation with creatine supplementation and higher DHT levels.
you're seeing things or your hair would fall off regardless. Exercise increases DHT levels more than creatine, and yet no one says working out makes your hair fall off
4 months and no hair loss..guess you're just unlucky
Dude is one of the best.
So sad im a non responder, i tried it many times, also checked my blood profile 3 times my creatin was always high. Maybe because i eat a lot of meat since im young 😅
It reduces B12 needs too as it also does Homocysteine detoxification
lol. Andrew huberman diss is golden. Lost a lot of money on mag threonate and it didn’t do shit for me.
I don't think you understand how magnesium works. Regardless, you shouldn't blame other people for what you perceive as being a mistake. It's your fault, the research is out, go and read it.
Magnesium is very important to take. None of these things are going to make you feel any different but they have pretty significant benefits.
Don't know anything about whatever Huberman is pushing, but I don't think it should do anything, if you are not deficient in magnesium to begin with.
I was very much deficient in magnesium and when I started taking it, it literally changed my life. My constant brainfog and fatigue that I've been suffering from for years completely disappeared.
It´s also a natural anti depressant
Also thinned my hair out like crazy.
Thats just because you got old and got bad genetics my dude
i dont think dr mike experienced those side effects
Correlation doesn’t equal causation my man. There’s no credible and reproducible evidence showing ti causes hair loss or even has a significant effect on DHT.
It's been proven not to do that, you're probably overly stressed or malnourished in some way
@@TheWizardSpeaksI definitely experienced a very high correlation. Before starting creatine I was experiencing no hair loss, then while taking it for a few months the hair loss was quite rapid, and then stopped when I quit creatine. A lot of people report exactly the same phenomenon. A bunch of anecdotal evidence doesn't provide absolute proof, but while studies apparently prove it cannot promote hair loss in any individual, I am going to gamble on my own personal experience and the experience of others, since scientific studies can also paint an inaccurate picture of reality.
It helps me, I feel like crap after my heavy workout, and the next day I don’t feel that bad, and I get the results I want.
The problem is you have to keep taking it to stay swoll. Once you stop taking it you will get smaller. I do not want to be dependent on anything to stay jacked. I am big enough, I do not need creatine. I take pride in being natural. I just lift, eat clean, and sleep to stay jacked.
Lol taking creating doesn’t change your natural status
Its natty
@@Jacob-ru3ey: Meh, you know what I mean...
Agreed. However I’d say it has a place when you hit a plateau. Creatine is in steak so it’s not like you’re taking something fake. It’s just more. Tbh an hour lifting session isn’t really what nature designed but we still do it.
There is creatine in almost all foods
So a win-win across the board.
Tried creatine 3 times for a few months, and did nothing, thus according to my study it does nothing 🎉
like a third of people are non responders :/
I know people hyped up nitric oxide back in the day but today you don't see it often. When i used it, it really helped recovery and soreness. Might have been placebo but damn it was great. That was using it with creatine of course.
There are still NO boosters in many pre workout supplements. Creates more of a "pump" and vascularity. Makes your blood vessels dialate and become larger
Great supplement, F the naysayers
JUST STARTED ON MY 7TH LOADING PHASE TODAY AND I TELL YOU I NOTICE. A DIFFERENCE IN MY BODY AND AT THE GYM
Andrew huberman is just another buzzword. Any information he gives has the staying power of my dead grandfather.
Undeniable truth
Look, I'm on the fence of taking creatine, but the one and only thing holding me back is: Does creatine really cause hair loss? As great as being jacked is, I want to keep my hair
Fortunately its a myth
With the current research, you can assume the following two things:
1) there's nothing implying creatine actually causes hair loss
2) you won't get jacked for taking creatine, you might not even see a difference at all
Should you take it? Sure, but don't have your expectations high. People tend to expect way too much from supplements
I have seen zero affect on my hair from creatine.🙏🏻😊
It doesn’t
It doesn't cause hair loss. There are other factors at play that are causing hair loss and creatine is not one of them. People spreading this misinformation don't know what they are talking about. The myth was already debunked ages ago.
True. I love to get my creatine naturally though such as red meats.
God I wish I could take creatine. I've tried it (small dose, first thing in the morning) like four times. My workouts are amazing, but I can't sleep at night, so not worth it for me. I'm in that tiny minority that just doesn't tolerate it.
You cant sleep at night because your overtraining, Reduce volume and focus on intensity
@@lazarminer My training did not change, the creatine was the only changing variable.
Maybe have a friend offer you two shakes - one with creatine in it and one without creatine. Chose one and test yourself if maybe your mind is just making up things?
Are you sure that’s not placebo? I can’t really think of any logical reason it would cause that. The only thing I can think of is you may be worried about side effects and that anxiety keeps you up if anything
@@joshdeveaux8525 I'm doubtful. I was never consciously worried about side effects since I know how well researched it is, and the first two attempts at getting on creatine, I had never heard anyone complain about sleep troubles. I considered the placebo angle, but doesn't seem to help. If the end result is no sleep, doesn't really matter if it's in my head or not, you know?
I first tried Creatine in 82 while doing a month of heavy lifts, I loaded half way through the month, 😱OMFG‼️my 1RM’s improved between 15 to 20%, I couldn’t believe how much stronger I felt,
I think creatine gives you the false impression you’re gaining muscle but it’s just water inside your muscles, Am I wrong?
Muscle is made up of mostly water tho not protein do your research that why it works .
Yes, your muscles get fuller. From a performance perspective creatinephosphate is used as energy in the muscle.
Yep... you're wrong. ATP-PCr system... ATP breaks down to ADP + P... ADP then utilizes the P from PCr to become ATP... cycle continues... There are 4-6 times as much PCr in the muscle as ATP. The more PCr in the muscle, the better the energy system.
@@gargantuangouda605can you explain in human terms
@esfbse8347 ATP is what your cells use for energy. They lose a phosphate and become ADP. Then they're re-energized into ATP again. Apparently the Pcr stands for creatine phosphate.
I bought Creatine because I started working out a few months ago. What I noticed was that I felt a lot more motivated and energized in general. It's not like Coffee or energy drinks, but it just feels natural.
Video demonitised because he said 'many people did n@zi coming, including myself'
creatine blessed me
Creatine is always on the labs my doc orders during my yearly physical. If it’s important enough for a doc to want to know about it while also checking cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney and liver health, and vitamins levels, then yeah lol I want to take that.
That's creatinine, which is different
You mean creatinine. 🤣. Creatinine is in your doctor's labs because it is a marker of kidney health. You don't want creatinine levels to get too high. Creatine and creatinine are two completely different things.
Respectfully you should really do more research before you draw conclusions. Even if you were correct in thinking they were checking creatine levels and not creatinine levels your deduction that you should take it still wouldn’t make sense based off that. As you stated doctors check blood sugar levels did you take that to mean you need to consume extra sugar?
Even if you had the right substance, just because your doc checks blood count, and cholesterol, and iron and, and (sometimes) hormones etc... DEFINITELY doesn't mean you should just take all of those willy nilly.
Too much is just as bad or worse as too little.
Actually an unthinkable mentality
@@__Paul__creatine raises creatinine levels
Creatine builds up in your system so it’s important to somewhat moderate your use of it !
