Creatine- Healthy or Not?
448165
Yes, I go to the gym and wish to use a supplement to help my workout program. I looked into stuff like "andro" and others but found Creatine to be the safest pick when taken in moderation. And by moderation, I mean only before I go to workout to help build muscle. I also combine this with NO (Nitrous Oxide) and Glutamine for muscle recovery. Then I also have 3 protein shakes a day and I look good and cut.

Not healthy at all. Your body is not getting the nutrients in the way it needs to by taking vitamins.\n\nAgain, your body isn't getting the nutrients IN THE WAY IT NEEDS THEM. Sorry, just the facts.

LA MUSCLE EXPLOSIVE CREATINE -Two side effects of creatine loading are weight gain and "cell volumizing." Both these effects occur because creatine associates with water as it is stored in the muscles. Over the six-day loading phase, more and more creatine is stored and an increasing amount of water is drawn into the muscle cell-this gives muscles a fuller, "pumped" feel and look, just what bodybuilders and fitness buffs want. This loading process, therefore, results in a water weight gain of several pounds (or more) in most individuals. This is a good thing for athletes in sports where increased weight and speed (inertia) can be used to your advantage (e.g. football, swinging a bat, or swinging your fist). However, in a sport that requires a high strength-to-weight ratio, it can have a negative impact on performance. \nLA MUSCLE ZMAX -No side effects reported\nVASCULATOR- Does this have Androstenedione in it?? If so, the side effects are: acne, enlarged prostate and baldness. These side effects can be a matter of "routine"! Androstenedione is banned by the International Olympics Committee (IOC). To quote the respected Dr Michael Colgan: "users of Androstenedione beware... it could easily set you up for prostate disease".

Doesn't creatine naturally occur in our bodies when we eat lots of meat? I think that's correct, and if it is, then the FDA doesn't need to approve it and it obviously safe.\n\nDo a search for it... make sure.

More volume, less fatigue, faster recovering, more streght, but if you work out speed asweel you have bigger risk of muscle injury. They also say it affects your natural level of creatine...

While it may not sound healthy, it is better than the alternatives that the medicine is being taken for.  Not being able to urinate properly is much worse. \nJust because it lists this as a potential side effect, it doesn't mean that it will happen.

I think it is very healthy. As long as youre not sticking it in anything that would be considered harmful, then go crazy and have fun with yourself

First of all, creatine is for adults who have been lifting for a while.  After lifting for many years, a person reaches a limit of strength.  He uses the creatine to see new muscle.  But your still growing and a beginner such as yourself can build new muscle just the same  as if you were on creatine. Basically it's a waste for you.  Plus your still growing lifting heavy weights will stunt your growth.  Go ask your baseball coach or any doctor.  They will tell you the same thing.

Most people misuse creatine. They believe it helps build muscle, which isn't true.\n\nWhat creatine does is helps the muscles reaction to stress, so in fact it just makes it so you can work out sooner, but so will eating right.\n\nI'm not exactly sure how much you should take just experiment, and see how much you need.\n\nMy recomendation is to not use it though, it can cause damage to organs. Another bad thing is that when you stop working out you will lose muscle faster, not sure why, but you do.\n\nO well what i recomend, depending on how much you're taking already is you add about 25% to that. If you haven't already been taking it then start with the smallest amount possible (that still make a difference) then increase as need, but stop at a certain point.\n\nGood luck.\n\nP.S/ post a little more info ie...body weight age heighth, diet

Creatine supplements are bad for you. Eat a steak.

"cretain"? I would just stick with a good multivitamin if I were you. Eat healthy and you shouldn't have to worry too much about "supplements". ~smiles

Surtout que la créatine est autorisée en France depuis au moins deux ans. Dans les autres pays d'Europe depuis plus longtemps.\nJe ne voudrai pas enfreindre la charte mais allez sur n'importe quel site de diététique sportive français et vous pourrez recevoir votre pot de créatine chez vous sans risquer une descente de la douane volante.... Elle est même en vente dans les grandes surfaces du sport et les magasins de diététique sportive (ou même certaines para pharrmacies ou pharmacies), je ne comprends donc pas trop ce fantasme sur la supposée interdiction de la vente en France. Parler de différence juste à cause de la créatine, relève d'une certaine mauvaise foi ou plutôt dans ton cas de la légitime déception au vu des résultats des tests-matchs. On en vas pas épiloguer encore sur le pourqquoi du comment de l'avance des All Blacks, il sont en avance depuis le début, je veux dire depuis les débuts du rugby international et à force d'intelligence, de travail, de remise en cause perpétuelle, de projet de jeu, de place du rugby dans leur éducation, leur société... Le rugby est pour eux une façon d'être au monde (voir l'excellent éditorial de Jacques Verdier dans le Midi Olympique de cette semaine). La crétaine n'est pas un produit masquant biologiquement (un joueur international qui prendrait de la créatine et des stéroïdes en même temps, serait contrôlé positif aux stéroïdes). C'est d'utiliser cet argument à tort et à travers qui est masquant de nos lacunes et nous empêche de salutaires remises en cause. Cela dit, on est parfaitement capables de gagner la Coupe du Monde. Les joueurs français auront pu travailler les tactiques, peaufiner les réglages les plus fins, s'affûter physiquement et vivre ensemble pendant trois mois. Si les All Blacks seront toujours (?) plus réguliers, on peut vraiment les battre dans le cadre du Mondial car il ''suffira'' d'être réguliers pendant sept semaines et ça nous avons les hommes, l'entraîneur, l'encadrement et beaucoup d'ingrédients pour le faire.

I take the Buffered Creatine. What you guys talking about is the old one which requires loading. My comment is simply nothing wrong if you take the buffered one.

I haven't tried either of these, but I generally stay away from anything with Creatine.  It makes my heart hurt!

Creatine actually does work, if you cycle it correctly. It helps your endurance when working out & helps you bulk up faster. Check out the links.
