Creatine is a performance-enhancing supplement that has been shown to be effective in many research studies. This has allowed manufacturers to market the product to athletes, both professional and non-professional, with bold claims. However, most people don't do their own research before making a decision about using it. Like with most health products, there are often side effects to using them. Creatine is no exception. One needs to understand all the potential upsides and downsides to using creatine as well as determine if supplementing with it fits within the context of your lifestyle. After all, what is good for one person may not be good for another.

Nice Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Chireetler Muscle Array Rule (search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to get massive arms without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 at last got great results with it.
Pov: mom found my creatine😂
SON WHY ARE YOU TAKING STEROIDS YOU DONT NEED THEM!!! MOM ITS NOT A STEROID
@@troyscorner803 yep i can see that happining
@M.k Singh point of view
Why are you hiding it, it’s not drugs
Just got mine blu creatine creapure any ideas on where to hide
For me a very helpful video. I don't lift weights but am very active working around the house, chopping and carrying wood etc. Will be 75 soon and I am determined to continue working hard into my eighties, god willing. Have been eating a whole foods diet for about 40 years, and very weary of putting anything in my body such as aspirin, pain killers etc. I appreciate your tutorial which is well informative and balanced. Thank you and all the best to you in south Africa from New Rochelle N.Y.
You are THE grandpa
God bless you sir 🤝
Hero!
@Max yes all he needs is supplements like cod liver oil etc

My mom thought she found “my steroids” when she saw creatine in the pantry.
I started taking creatine around 47 been 35 years now I'm 21.
Taking a creatine supplement and "overnutrition" are completely unrelated topics. If you exercise at all, you will likely benefit from creatine. Pretty much all athletes who compete professionally in rigorous sports take creatine.
Would you recommend athletes to cycle on and off creatine ?
milk is cheap protein I’m no scientist, but you arnt suppose to take it everyday for 2 years, all you’re doing by that is allowing you body to take a vacation in that department as you voluntarily supply your body with creative vs your body naturally accessing creatine. It’s like taking melatonin before bed everyday for 2 years then getting mad that you can’t sleep without it, your body grew a dependency for an amount of creatine a human can’t get naturally without using supplements. Maybe next time you should do more research before you allow your body to rely on a powder form of creatine? I would recommend cycling for the exact reason there of
I disagree. You don’t need to cycle creatine cause it’s not something your body produces naturally. You already take creatine in from fish and meats. The reason why everyone will tell you to supplement with creatine is because in order to get the right amount of creatine we would need to eat 3 pounds of chicken breast a day which is a stupid amount of chicken. Or body does not naturally produce this and therefore cycling it makes no sense and will slow your gains
Luke Painter Right and research have proven that a dose of 5-10 grams a day IS SAFE to take for more than 5 years
@@rosegarden9914 I've never heard of it and I know I'm 5 months late but, the reality it is you will never ever get good results if you don't stick to a program that challenges you. We gain muscle and become more fit simply because we demand it from our body when working out
Really good video, specially the reflection at the end. Thank you!
Thanks for information on this, it helped me make my decision on this subject.
Incredible video. I’m was recently told by my coach to start taking creatine and was super worried about it at first. Now I see the positives and negatives and can make an educated choice. This really helped reduce a lot of stress toward taking creatine for me
So happy to hear that you found our content helpful! That’s exactly what our intentions were for this video. Every decision has its pros and cons. So, the more we know about both sides, the better choices we can make for ourselves. Thanks for your feedback 😁
@@barefootstrength nice!
Can creatine help me reduce my body fat?
@@naufilhanifjr.5531 its a booster for muscle growth and over all brtter athletic performance, go on a calorie deficit or eat less than what you eat burn to loose fat
There are no positive points about taking an artificial product, unless for the Laboratories owners pockets . Body cannot convert any artificial raw material in a natural material. Raw material must come from foods. I do not have a lab I am not trying to sell you anything. Artifical material comes out of the body the some way it came in. Unchanged. Even sunlight which help us produce VI.D CANNOT be substituted by artificil light, Body skin does not make any Vitamin D from artifcial lamps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info 😊
You explained well
Allan Moral it’s our pleasure 😁thanks for the feedback. We are very happy to hear this from you.
Appreciate your honest take on it
Thank you very much for your feedback. It is always our intention to be as honest and fair with our interpretation and dissemination of the literature.
Loved all of it. The part about asthma was really interesting.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I was very intrigued by the research myself. It just shows how complex and nuanced nutrition is.
and bullshit as well
@@barefootstrength Do you have a link to the study you found? I'd like to look at it.
Hahahu
@@barefootstrength to get a proper level of creatine through fish/meats is very hard example if u got it from tuna you would have to eat 1 pound of tuna to get it from food and depending which stage of creatine your at where you consume 10 grams for the first week or to and than go to 5 gs it’s almost impossible without supplementation
Such an informative video, very well done
Thank you! So happy to hear that 😁🙏
Thanks! Good insights to lesser spoken about research
Man this was an awesome explanation, very clear and concise. Thank you for this!
It's my pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
thank you for addressing the link between creatine and asthma! my asthma always flares up so bad when I take it for a few months, and people who work at supplement stores and bodybuilders look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them creatine is bad for asthmatics
Hey doc...its my first time wanna try creatine pill so how many pills can it be taken in a day and what if u don't do exericse does it work
Hey, great video man! Im thinking of consuming creatine since i feel like i need to gain weight. Thanks for the informational video. I enjoyed it
howzit bru, do you think i should u creatine i play water polo 5 times a week and gym 4 times a week and dont get a steady diet due to staying in a hostel witch 9 out of 10 times the food is so bad that i dont want to eat.
Very helpfull, thank you!
Sieds Jellema it’s a big pleasure. Glad you liked the video 😊
Im 31, male, athletic, and i regularly do intermittent fasting. I saw a video of Thomas DeLauer talking about creatine when fasting, that it could help if ur seeing gut issues. I had one where it felt like gastritis but lower in the gut (mild, i eat healthy). It made sense it would help me bc the gut has the highest turn over rate of cells, so in consistent autophagic states there could be some sort of depletion. I have to say that small 1-2g doses of creatine did the trick! Ive felt better, more energetic, better workouts, better water retention and reduction in muffin tops. And less gut pain
Are you saying that Creatine could help with gut issues ??
Well done job!
Can it be taken from time to time if I have pots, chronic fatigue, arrhitmia, tachicardia from time to time due to pots and taking beta blockers. I do only light exercises, but I get very tired and my body hurts a lot, joints and muscles
Your warning about creatine aggravating asthma sounds right. While I was taking it, I was plagued with coughing. I thought it was from furnace dust, but since discontinuing creatine the coughing has stopped.
@@adinjohnson9658 I love creatine's effects too, & resumed taking it recently (one heaping teaspoon, twice daily with food)-guess what: No coughing! I recently recovered from chest congestion which must have been from the dust stirred up after vacuuming my filthy carpet. Obviously at this time a cough could be Covid-19, but if it stops when you stop the creatine (or when I lay off vacuuming), the cause is apparent. Heart palpitations could mean reduce your dosage. Also make sure it's plain, pure creatine monohydrate; the enhancer stuff in some versions can do weird things.
@@adinjohnson9658 Well, the creatine-related coughing did come back big time, but I found a fix that worked for me. If you've still got it too, check this out:

@@watchfuleagleson Interesting thanks.
Since I increased the does, I'm having tendon pain and carpal tunnel. I do believe its related.
Great video! I have a question, I have noticed some acne on my face which started like 6 months ago, this was also around the time i started using creatine powder. I stopped using creatine for about 3 weeks and didn't notice any diffrence on the acne but i did notice a slight decrease of strength so i started using it again yesterday. Do you think acne could be a side affect of the use of creatine? I haven't heard many people talk about this and I would really appreciate it if you could answer the question.
Research indicates that those who take creatine supplements see an increase as high as 50 percent in their DHT levels. That's a major shift in your natural hormone levels. As a result, individuals who are naturally prone to hormone-driven acne may see breakouts more often when taking creatine.
Great video! Balanced, accessible and concise. I'm not even that interested in the topic
I made this account to avoid ACCOUNTability. ha, get it? Thanks so much for your message and positive feedback 🙏 We are so glad you liked the video. We are currently refining our post production process and will start uploading higher quality video over the next few months. Please stay in touch and continue providing feedback. Thank you 😊
I have to agree with this: everyone is an individual and not everyone needs creatine. I trained for 5.5 years on a natural, well-rounded diet, doing intense training 5days of the week for around 1.5 - 3 hrs at a time, with a good mixture of strength, hit and cardio. I never struggled with any imbalances. Eventually I didn't really even get muscle stiffness unless I took a break due to illness etc. One day a little while back, I was complaining to a friend that I'd been struggling with my joint injuries and not making much progress for the last while. He suggested I try creatine. I did some research and decided to try it. It made zero difference to my performance and recovery. Moreover by the third week I developed a uti which lead to a secondary infection - and which the doctor suggested could have been a result of the addition of the creatine to my already balanced diet (ie "over nutrition"). I should probably add that it was the first uti I'd ever had at 38 years of age. And it turned out that what my body needed for some progress was actually a little rest. So no it is not essential. Not everyone needs it. But I do believe it would be beneficial for certain people with certain lifestyles and many people have found it helpful. Thanks for trying to provide an unbiased viewpoint on this topic. Way too many people buy into the hype without thinking for themselves.
Good video.
I've watched several videos on this and from what I've seen is that to get an effective dosage of creatine you would need to eat 1kg of raw beef, as cooking it denatures the creatine.
Whats your thoughts on this?
I added to the protein shake after a workout. Even tho they tell me to add it to pre workout. And take it after working out, Its supposed to me before?
Well informed video
Best video on subject i have found. Although i fit into that category of exercising 5 times a week with a healthly diet, what if you work a very physical job as well ie laboring and construction. Ive been questioning weather or not i should take it as i am struggling to put on muscle and i eat ALOT already. Love to hear your thoughts
calosis1 thanks for your positive feedback. It’s a delight to know that our content is well liked 😊 with regards to your question, it’s a tough one to answer. I always like to ask myself what it is I would like to achieve by making a dietary change. Or any other lifestyle alteration for that matter. Once I have a clear vision of what I want, I can then explore all the available options which might facilitate me in reaching that goal. I then weigh up the pros and cons of each option and make a decision based on the information I have collected. That’s as much of an opinion as I can give. I will however add one more piece of information which may be of interest to you. When it comes to safeguarding oneself from ‘over-nutrition’ as discussed in the video, one approach which can be effective is to cycle on and off supplements. One could also stick to the minimum advised dose during the cycle. More, is not always better. But, as I stipulated earlier, this is not advice just my opinion.
Too well elaborated, thanks
Thank you for your comment 🙏 really glad you enjoyed it 😁
Good presentation...keep it up
Aaron Adu - Thank you 🙏 glad you liked the video. New content coming soon and on a consistent basis 😁
finally found what i was searchjng for.. BEST VIDEO FOUND IN THE CREATINE SUBJECT... Your video is so underrated should be millions of views thanks a lot.. you explained it all! just one thing : does creatine cause hair loss? studies say creatine will cause hair loss only to something related to family genes with problem to hair loss creatine will make it worse..?
I broke both my cruciate ligaments & started to have pains on my Achilles’ tendons. Now I don’t take créatine & do a lot of cardio. I wonder if créatine was the cause of the weakening in my tendons, ligaments & lungs.
Good info sir👍
Mario Adexx thanks my brother 🙏 glad you liked it 😁
Thanks for the vid!

U deserve more popularity
Adam A. Thank you for your comment. At the moment, this channel is only a hobby for us. We do, however, hope to grow it over time. It’s great to hear that you feel this way. Hopefully with a lot more effort and patience, from our side, others will feel the same way as you do in the future.
I really like your channel and your instagram page you give really useful advise! I need advise about back exercises, i used to feel my back (lats, traps, etc) when doing exercises like barbell rows but nowadays i barely feel the burn in my back during any rowing exercise? I feel it in my biceps a little bit. Do you have any advise on how i can fix this?
Adam A. We are so glad to hear positive feedback. Thank you 🙏 well, you could try widening your grip on the bar. This simple change in set-up will require higher back muscle utilisation than a narrower grip. Let us know how it goes 👍
Does it cause balding,many sites have been saying yes and many no.
I'm the type that gets sore for longer than most..I been exercising 14 years and this has always been the case. I tried creatine powder maybe a handful of times.
Well, I loved this video. I probably will not use; but if do, I will use it sparingly.
I usually never say that, but man- you really need more subs.
Your content atleast by judging on this video are high-quality in both terms of visual explanation and knowledge. Keep going!
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, really appreciate them 😊 we have been mostly focused on Instagram up until this point, as exercising Health has been a hobby over the past year... full of experimental content and just having fun creating. But, we are now trying to take the brand more seriously. This means that you can expect a lot more content like this on our RUclips channel in the near future 😁 🙏

Dasherr currently working on a video around Cold Water Immersion.(ice baths) as an exercise recovery tool. Stay tuned 😁
@@barefootstrength Will do! *I rather use it as a "get sober' recovery tool, but it helps both ways :D*
I have been taking 3g of creatine for the past 4 months and eating all the right foods. I feel I am overdosing on it and it is not required to take it. For me it is definitely having a negative effect on my body. With constant muscle cramps, spasms and twitching. I even feel it is causing muscle imbalance. I will stop taking it now and stick to a healthy diet as I am sure we can get all we need for our body from eating good healthy food. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing, I think i'll stick to the healthy eating and consistancy and leave the powder alone!

LoL
Fak man
@@AliHamza-ce2lw omg really
I can't say that my asthma got worse when I started to take Creatine (Monohydrate), but I did feel somewhat swollen when I worked out. Didn't feel any surge with energy in any way really, but looked more lean, so I'm not sure it really done anything for me, more than the fact that my gf like my looks a little more.
I did take it some 20 years back too, and back then I had a better experience of it. Could be that I worked out differently. I worked on a farm back then and my work out was more body weight and kicking and hitting a punch bag. Then again, the human body functions differently around 20 vs 40, so ...
And yeah, I've had some acne too. Not much, but more than usual. Thought it was because of chocolate and other stuff, but I've read thru the comments here, and figure it might have something to do with the Creatine as well. Doesn't disturb me thou.
Edit 220303: I've stopped taking Creatine a few days ago. My ankles and legs became swollen and I started getting trouble with my joints. My feet also got swollen and felt like waterbags. I have rheumatism in my family, and as I've read that Creatine can backfire if you have problems like that, I stopped. I feel better already. Just not worth it.
Thank you for the update
This was a great video! Thanks!
I wouldn't say that creatine is an energy source, but an energy carrier. It shuttles phosphate around the cell faster than ATP due to its smaller weight and size, and is a buffer to your ATP pool
What do you think about me here is my case
Im a amateur boxer and I work out 2x a day daily u would feel burnt out everyday my legs would be shaky then I started taking creatine me legs got stronger I don’t really eat much meats or fish I eat eggs every morning with oatmeal or a sandwich or with a bannana and I eat protien bars i eat veggies too to snack on or peanuts you think creatine is good for me?
U still on creatine ?
I love creatine, I've found it to be a big help
Franklin Franks yes, many people feel the same way about creatine as you do. It is, however, a good idea to cycle on and off creatine, to be sure that the effects are, in fact, ‘real’ and you are not experiencing the placebo effect.
@@barefootstrength I'm 19 years old is it OK if I take creatine
the beast yes
@@thebeast-rt7sr no
Same here
Can supplementing creatine too often or even at all hinder your body's natural phosphocreatine _?
How about the age factor? I'm 60 and going keto with HIIT training and weightlifting as well. Should I take Creatine due to my age?
There have been studies done showing men older than you taking it and it having positive results. These men didn't even exercise but it made their skeletal system stronger.
Especially old people should take it
Hell no
I go to gym 5 days a week and i am vegetarian and i take. Whey on protein can i use cratine as well ??
You should try Nictro tech lean Whey powder it does have 3g of creatine and 4g of BCAA for 1 scoop
You can actually just get blood labs at a functional medicine or regular doctor to check if your levels are normal: I am neither a vegan/vegetarian, nor a powerlifter; yet I have low creatine levels on my lab work! I also have iron deficient anemia. My muscles were getting fatigued way too fast, even after my regular iron infusion. I was scared to take creatine because of all the hype, but i performed much better today than without it. So it’s good just to check your levels!
Keep it up bro love u work uwu
Thank you so much! means a lot to hear that :)
Yo so like I’m taking protein and eating lean but maybe getting 110 grams of protein in and like can I take creatine once a day and be ok ?
Clinical studies did not reveal an increase in muscle mass with the use of creatine, but in a group of people 50+, a slight increase in memory was detected, and in people suffering from memory loss (Alzheimer's disease), the process of memory degradation significantly decreased
At first I gained the water weight and a little push in the gym but seemed that my body adapted and lost most of the water weight. Also gave me cramps more often an also intestinal pains. Noticed red skin rash too that went away after stopping supplementation
Bruhh this same happened to me omg the cramps on abs were too pain
@@ungamingzone8007 neither of you drank anywhere near enough water on creatine
Does creatine supplements cause chest pain or heart palpitations because I am experiencing that while taking the supplements
Go see a doctor bro
Sounds like you shouldn't be messing around with supplements too much. Get your blood work done and listen to your body and gut feelings when taking this stuff. Your body is talking to you, now listen...
Stop taking it and see if it continues and if yes then go to a doctor if not then its because of creatine. It depends how old you are too
Lots of us asthma patients do sports to increase our lung function and overcome it. It was recommended for me from young age to my parents at the time. Correlation =/= cause
My opinion: Creatine is made in a lab to give your body more of what it already produces. Motivation and belief in myself helps me hit the gym and max out, and I am a vegan male that has been vegan for 3 going on 4 years. I was skeptical if I could reach a personal record without supplements, but I was thinking about how proud I would be if I get the bragging rights to day I built a strong physique strictly from plants. This journey is still going on and will forever continue. Thank you.
🎯👌🏾 made in a lab.. What good comes from synthetic.. All these videos be biased
Yeah definitely will forever continue the journey isnt ending anytime soon if you're vegan lmao
Exactly what I say. I’ve been working out for about 2 years now and I never taken creatine. Weather it isn’t a banned substance or necessarily bad for at the end of the day your are consuming more creatine then the body NATURALLY produces especially when you do a loading faze so at what point do we cross the line of it being natural when your consumption is more then what the human body produces naturally. With that being said I believe creatine after taking to much it becomes an enhancement. And that the big word every gym guy hates.
@@SWERVOO09 The body doesn't produce creatine. You either eat red meat or meats daily to get creatine or just eat 3g a day.. Vegans also benefit from it. Brain also functions better. All this shows is how much red meat we need in our diets.
@@manbiteslife3110 bro honestly you shouldn’t comment on a post if you do not know what you are talking about. The human body produces 1-2 gams of creatine daily. You could easily look it up before you comment something that is not true. After you look it up come back here maybe you’ll delete you comment 🤦🏽♂️
honest question..i lift weight sfor 3 times a week , I take a protein shake after the workout..i'm scared of putting on extra weight..im kinda skinny fat at the moment..lean body but slight belly..pls reply
cheers
thanks, uve cleared my head, I'll stay natural and stick with whole foods
Doing things as naturally as possible is almost always the safer route. Glad you found the video helpful.
I would never consider creatine dangerous and even in excess I wouldn't consider creatine dangerous at all. It's the world's most studied and proven affective supplement in the world for more more just physical fitness. It's a powerful nootropic as well. Even though creatine isn't water soluable I wouldn't worry about consuming too much creatine or any vitamin or mineral that is water soluable. This guy is right on a lot of it but some of his information is misleading and portrays creatine as a potential danger when it's really one of the best things you can supplement into your diet daily
An example would be you dont have to cycle creatine like you would many other supplements, because it is needed in your system and your body can't use too much or get used to it in a way that'll build tolerance
on sidefects, takeing creatine,can you're ruining your stomach like ,cramps,
diarrhea etc etc?
You can take your creatine but ALSO train to increase your VO2max, this will elevate your performance a few levels, since we are "combustion" engines we need the right fuel AND oxigen mix, so saturating your blood/muscles with oxigen will give you that explosiveness you're seeking if you're taking creatine.
I started taking micronized creatine mono 2 weeks ago, 5g daily.. 1st week, felt normal.. 2nd week of taking it, I felt dizzy a couple of minutes after taking it.. I also felt anxious and had difficulty sleeping.. so I stopped taking it yesterday, and today I feel good.. I'll let my body reset for a couple of days then try decreasing the does to 2.5g daily and see how it goes.. I think the standard does of 5g daily is too much for my current weight.. (note that i don't drink caffeinated beverages, i eat mostly whole foods throughout the week and supplement with whey and get 6-7 hours of sleep daily)
As you age, your body needs more help in making creatine, that is why I take it.
The problem with this study is that it didn't state the form of creatine that was used in the study. They just said Creatine Supplementation. There are many forms of creatine. The most studied and recommended is creatine monohydrate.
wait, if what you said about recovery time was wrong.. than your explanation for asthma thing doesn't make sense. This video has left me more confused.
I take creatine in powder and it does give me strength and has kept me lean and muscly when dieting. However creatine in pills for some reason make my stomach sick.
What if excess creatine is the problem?
Meaning if your body doesn’t need more
Then why add more
And if you add more than your body needs
Can that affect your heart and lungs?
Hmmmm. I pretty much only eat protein and I take creatine everyday. Perhaps I'll have to try an experiment when it runs out in a week or so and see if my lifting and recovery get worse without it.

Hey there. Unfortunately, I’m not at liberty to give nutritional advice over the internet. This video was made for educational purposes only. However, I can tell you how I take supplements... in order to avoid ‘overwhelming’ my body with too much of anything, I usually cycle on and off supplements. So, if I were to take a multivitamin, for example, I would would take it for one week then not take it the second week and so on..... this type of protocol mimics periods of feast and famine, which has been a natural occurrence in our past for thousands of years.... hope this makes sense.
I would cycle creatine monohydrate for like 3 months and then one month off personally. Once every few days probably wont give you too much for benefit. Probably like 4-6 grams a day 30 mins prior to exercise. Take it on off days too. Drink plenty of water. Some complain of bloating and cramps on occasion, but I've never experienced either. Of course make sure your diet and gym routine are healthy prior to worrying about supplements.
Taelend Sauve citation needed on the efficacy of cycling creatine. Your body does not build a tolerance to creatine like it does with caffeine. 3-5 grams daily (there is no effect on timing) is the general recommendation and this can be sustained indefinitely.
But guyz creatine use cause creatinin to our body which is harmful so. I stopped it.
I’m a bit confused does this mean if you have asthma already creatine is bad for you?
It makes your lungs worse over time

Assuming you take your creatine with water, try to put in more water. When I changed the proportion I did not get diarrhea anymore hope this helps
Can it give you acne? I've heard that it can cause it.
I havent come across any evidence, in the lierature, that Creatine can cause acne. I think it is the misconception that ‘creatine is a steroid,’ which brought about this myth.
It actually can because it increases something that causes acne but I forgot what it was called.
I’m gonna guess you’re from New Zealand not Australia?
Nick south-Africa 😁 I often get mistaken as Australian. We all share a similar accent in the southern hemisphere it seems 🤔
I never had asthma so that doesn’t apply to me. I’m going to make a creatine milkshake tonight
Honestly, I'm a big man, 6ft3, 200lbs easily, and even tho I fall into this 3-5 days exercise category I don't think its enough creatine
So i have astma no creatine?
For starters the reason muscles are sore is cause they are growing stronger. So let the fibers do their own work.
One big problem with creatine is rapid heart rate and that isnt a good thing.
For how long should it be that way? Because I'm experiencing more soreness than when I wasn't taking creatine
@@adhamsherif9126 well the creatine will elevate your heaet rate. Now if that can cause you complications wouldnt reccomend using creatine.
If you are having allot of continual muscle soreness you probably not fueling yourself with right foods or you need to improve your rest time.
Thanks sir
@@GameAGuy my sleep time has been reduced I can sleep for 7hours and 30minutes. I've noticed when I'm on creatine I can get 6hours !
IBM Watson is exhausted and needs Fujitsu fugaku help
I get ill quickly when i take monohydrate creatine (tried in 2014) or creatine gluconate (tried in 2017), but no problem with my own creatine synthesis or creatine in fish or meat. What could be the problem with that synthetic creatine? I don't have asthma, never had.
Lack of regulation probably since it's not FDA approved
Basically the purity (or lack of purity) of the creatine product you purchase might be why you react differently to it than you do to the creatine in animal products
@@WhyTheyLyin In 2014 it was creapure, creatine from Germany, twice the price than one that was coming from China, so it was supposed to be clean.
Creatine has some interesting side effects I went through quite a bit of them I had to put it to a halt.
The company I bought it from basically gave me a gun and told me kill myself when they gave me that
I take creatine by balancing the creatine level in my body..... Moreover my brother told not to take, because he take mass gainer cost 50$😒 and he told me also to take as if i can buy that 😒
very nicely explained.. 🤘🤘👍
but you didn't covered getting bald as a side effect of creatine
only if you fuck up lol
Lie..... genetics
Does creatine cause headaches ?

I have asthma, just bought some creatine. Now I'm afraid to use it! I need to be able to hold my breath for a long time! Has anybody noticed adversity with lung capacity/ added wheezing after adding creatine to their diet? Also does anybody take it before bed?
I use Creatine every day and growing up I struggled with exercise induced asthma. But, I have not had any negative side effects from using Creatine and I am able to breathe just fine. But that's just me. 😊
@gt a weird.. I ended up getting drunk and throwing my creatine on the floor so I can't tell you what it did to me but for the short time I used it I had no negative side affects lmao
I have asthma n i have never had a serious attack until 2 days after i took creatine earlier in this year..i was born with asthma bt it had been very mild all my life and i am now 24.. i am also a very active athlete i had breathing probs for about 2 months
Hmmm good looking out, Iwas born with asthma and still have it at 18
Man quick question, Does creatine decrease your mental acuity? In other words will I end up being dumb as a rock on this? Lol just what I’ve heard ... also I’ve heard that it might Contribute to hair loss?
Would really appreciate it if you would get back to me man!
idk if u still need to know but the baldness only affects you if you are genetically exposed to mpb (male pattern baldness) ask ur dad about it if ur not sure
@@johnkor4449 he doesnt even have to ask his dad because you can see it on his head
Is it fine to take Creatin pills or nah
Doesn't matter
Most supplements give me insomnia I was surprised when creatine didn't however after a couple of weeks of taking it i notice my sleep was not as deep and far less rejuvenating so I only take it after working out I really don't take it to bulk up or increase performance but just to help fend off degeneration as I'm approaching 60. 😎✌️
I was born with asthma so is this bad for me ?
I am not at liberty to give this type of advice. What I can say is that there first needs to be human studies done on this issue before we can come to any concrete conclusions.
I eat alot of meat does this mean i don't need to take creatine
