Creatine

Has anyone ever used it or have any experience of it? Is it worth taking, and if so in what quantity?

Ffs. Your fat fingers must be monstrous. G is not even next to e on a keyboard.

iPad predictive spelling.

Yes, and yes. Teaspoon a day is sufficient. You may wish to do a loading cycle beforehand.

It’s one of the few genuinely legit supplements. Examine.com praises it highly and they rarely praise any supplement - http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/

Summary of editor’s thoughts:

"I honestly see no reason why somebody shouldn’t supplement creatine, nor do I see any logical basis for the seeming ‘fear’ of this compound in society.

It’s safe, it’s healthy, it’s cheap, and for most people, it just works. Get some Creatine Monohydrate, take 5g a day, and you’re good to go.

If humans didn’t make any in the body, this thing would be a vitamin. There do exist deficiency symptoms that result in mental retardation.[2][/URL] They’re rare, but they pretty much establish the importance of this molecule as a vitamin-like compound" - [URL=‘http://examine.com/user/KurtisFrank/’]Kurtis Frank

"Creatine is quite well-studied, and seems safe and effective in enhancing some aspects of performance.

5g a day of the cheap monohydrate powder (no need for anything fancy) seems great for anyone who’s looking to increase power output.

In short: if you do something like sprinting or strength training, it’s probably worth taking" - Gregory Lopez

A US rag tried to blame Creatine as a cause for the recent gun killings in the states— saying the kid was on an unstable bodybuilding drug :rolleyes::smiley:

Good to see a Clare perspective on supplements.

OxyElite Pro and Jack 3d is where it is at
you know a supplement is good when it is banned

I think the answer depends on what you want if for. Bodybuilding or making you bigger, then take it. For sport, I think no. I used it before and did put on weight, but with no massive gain in strength or energy that I noticed.

We’ll all await Kev’s answer.

It won’t scare away Manc carjackers.

I thought I’d leave a big tub by the door. That might scare them off. I’ve three hurls under the porch, which has worked so far.
