Creatine: Benefits vs Side Effects (The Science)

I had good gains using creatin,but my cholesterol went thru the roof!My specialist took me off it straight away,and told me their working on ways to get it banned!

TLDR no harm for adults with 5 gram usage

America does bad things to me

Not if you have Hypothyroidism

I'm 66 and I've been using Creatine for several months, with excellent results and no side effects. I am very pleased with the results I've achieved.

About to give creatine a try finally. Wish me luck. I’ve been hesitant becuz I’ve heard that it’s not the best for long term health or your kidneys or whatever. But I’ve been gradually taking my health & fitness more serious over the last 3 years so I wanna see for myself & give it a shot. Cheers 🤙🏼

Will it help my golf game I'm gonna be 69

Was that seriously a 5 cylinder engine with 6 coil packs on it? Lol

Awesome! You said everything about creatine. It can also speed up metabolism and favor fat burning?! That made me see creatine with different eyes!

Everything in nature is created to balance everything else out. Before taking creatine ask yourself. If creatine is so great why is your body so inefficient at making it or having such excess amounts ?

Can't use it. It made my heart pound and beat faster. It also made me feel like my blood pressure increased. After two weeks I quit creatine. I immediately felt better.

Harmless for most? I started getting chest pains after about a year of use. I stopped and the next day, so did the chest pains. Coincidence? I don't think so. The pain has not come back.

Been on creatine for 15 years. I have to eat food before taking or it makes me pee out my butt. Tried a couple different brands. Same results

I'm interested in taking creatine to boost my athletic performance but I don't want the extra weight since I'm already just under overweight with not much fat to replace with muscle

I started using creatine in high school and got ripped. Now I’m 31 and just started it again. It’s come a long way as far as solubility and taste since then. Back in the day it took a lot of powder and was really gritty.

Did anyone of you suffer hair fall after taking creatine?

Stay away from this shit people!! Notice he says the body only makes so much naturally, to take more is simply stupid.

is it safe and recommended for teens that go gym regularly?

You didn't mention mental side effects. Gives me mild mood swings and mild paranoia/anxiety

The biggest problem I get is really nasty lower back pumps, too be fair iv got a gut.

Nope, not worth it!

Yes

How do you improve the cognition of deceased individuals??

I've just recently started using creatine monohydrate, 5 grams daily. I didn't get any stomach discomfort, but I did notice my weight went up a couple pounds and stayed there for a couple weeks, I'm guessing from water retention, but it didn't interfere with training, I'd say it did help me get more reps in with each exercise. I didn't notice any memory-related benefits, lol.

I stopped using creatine because of the many fold increase in hairloss.
But it works great for strength gain

Great video! Creatine has been a game changer for me. I did experience the bloated gut feeling in my loading phase, but that went away after 2 weeks. I’ve been on it for a year now, and feel mentally sharper, and have more energy, and recover quicker after working out. That’s just my experience though..

Who doesn't qualify as a "stressed individual?"

i've been taking creatine for 25 years. it's like taking vitamins

I've never heard of ANY adverse effects of Creatine.

Creatine has given the H I V virus to 86 men so far they are taking it to court

Side effects = water retention at muscle sites + slightly more power production in the gym

after tests using creatine it was found that my CREATININE levels were very high,,,,enough to damage my kidneys so I had to stop taking it shame tho

Which genetics respond better to creatine RR Rx or xx

For me i experimented a bit with it. Started with about 1.5 grams of daily intake up to 5 while not changing much about my life. In general the more i take the more energy and focus i have the whole day leading to me not getting sleepy early enough. Therefore i get less sleep (instead of 8 hours i sleep around 6 while feeling like having the same energy). Also i feel less stressed about having to workout while working as a cashier and studying to be a teacher. My workout and strengh is getting significantly better. From bouldering beginner/advanced tracks (Difficulty in my bouldering gym goes from 1 to 7 and i started at 2) to fully bouldering advanced trackes (consistently doing 4 difficulty, close to doing my first 5). As a side effect while my energy has gone up i cant relax as i used to anymore. The moment i have free time i tend to always try to work which, in long term, is unhealty in my opinion.
From that i try to take 5 gramms when in stressfull times and 3 gramms when in relaxfull times.

Creatine literally makes my hair fall out. I’ve been on and off it 3 times in the last year and each time like clockwork after a month or so my hair will start falling out noticeably. Then hair fall will stop two weeks after stopping Creatine.

Can creatine cause itching???? If yes can i continue taking the creatine???? Please helpppp meeeeeee

I’ve used creatina since birth, over 43 years ago. My mother would put it in my baby formula. Thanks mom! Today, I’m jacked, as far as you know.

I have been taking creatine for years now. I am a vegetarian. My best way to test the improvement I got was looking at how my press-ups improved. From that I deduced that my improvement was over 20%.

Creatine made me very anxious and the bloating was unbearable.

Creatine gave me headaches at night,felt like my heart was gonna burst......I had a lot of energy though.but I was still skinny.

Creatine gave me bad anxiety
