Creatine is not an opiate.

[Gym Rat]

Creatine is not an opiate.

Is it a drug, like Melatonin??

"German creatine" when it's actually Chinese creatine. Not that you have to worry about fakes anyway. Usually German creatine refers to Creapure, the most trusted brand. But Creapure is more expensive. My friend just said, and we are fellow EU members, to order through Polish ebay to get the cheapest creatine.

Don’t worry. He’s got the proper PCT protocol in place

[Hulkotron]

Did you partake in the "Loading Phase"?

[oldtimer1]

I don't know where that creatine comes from but Chinese sourced creatine is loaded with impurities. I would only use German creapure.  The majority of creatine is sourced from China.

[LurkerNoMore]

Others I have used in the past never seemed to dissolved when stirred.   Was gritty and chalky.  How does this one mix?

Just make sure you have your nolva and arimadex on hand bro. We don't need another fallen comrade in iron.

Yup:

"The type of creatine primarily used in research to establish its safety and efficacy has traditionally been a micronized creatine monohydrate (CM) made by AlzChem in Germany under the brand name Creapure®; this brand of CM has been reported to produce CM that is 99.9% pure [1, 26, 35, 36]. Thus, it is typically considered the gold standard. CM may also come from sources produced in China that have different starting materials such as sarcosinates and S-alkylisothiourea (as opposed to sodium sarcosinate, acetic acid, and cyanamide) and have been reported to produce more contaminants due to the methods used to manufacture it [1, 35, 53]."

Is this 1994?

[Van_Bilderass]

Chinese creatine is tested for impurities a lot of times  the consumers demand it. There's no reason why the Chinese would add impurities wilfully in their powders.. If crap is found in their supps, say goodbye to that business.

There was one joker here, a supp manufacturer, who said Creapure was the shittiest creatine around  But he never said why.

Lots of studies since then showing Creatine's safety, benefits for muscles and the brain (in some people), and debunking the myths.

"Creatine appears to be generally safe, although when it is taken at high doses there is the potential for serious side effects, such as kidney damage. High doses may also stop the body from making its own creatine."

Probably from 1994.   

Published online 2023 Mar 18

"Despite some anecdotal reports and experimental data suggesting that creatine could be deleterious to the kidneys, cumulative evidence from independent, randomized controlled trials clearly show this is not the case. We did identify some gaps in the literature, based on which we suggest that it is prudent to avoid creatine supplementation for those who have pre-existing kidney diseases resulting in very low kidney functions. For those at risk of decreased glomerular filtration rate (e.g., some older individuals or those with certain clinical conditions), monitoring kidney function while supplementing with creatine appears to be prudent, although large, relatively long-term studies have shown no risks. Finally, consumers should select creatine supplements that have been properly tested and certified for their quality/purity, avoiding the health risks associated with contaminants."

Published online 2021 Feb 8

"Based on our evidence-based scientific evaluation of the literature, we conclude that:

1. Creatine supplementation does not always lead to water retention.
2. Creatine is not an anabolic steroid.
3. Creatine supplementation, when ingested at recommended dosages, does not result in kidney damage and/or renal dysfunction in healthy individuals.
4. The majority of available evidence does not support a link between creatine supplementation and hair loss / baldness.
5. Creatine supplementation does not cause dehydration or muscle cramping.
6. Creatine supplementation appears to be generally safe and potentially beneficial for children and adolescents.
7. Creatine supplementation does not increase fat mass.
8. Smaller, daily dosages of creatine supplementation (3-5 g or 0.1 g/kg of body mass) are effective. Therefore, a creatine ‘loading’ phase is not required.
9. Creatine supplementation and resistance training produces the vast majority of musculoskeletal and performance benefits in older adults. Creatine supplementation alone can provide some muscle and performance benefits for older adults.
10. Creatine supplementation can be beneficial for a variety of athletic and sporting activities.
11. Creatine supplementation provides a variety of benefits for females across their lifespan.
12. Other forms of creatine are not superior to creatine monohydrate."
