Jesus Christ people read a fucking article once in a while before spouting off your random horseshit make believe fun facts...
try kre alkalyn this form of creatine does not bloat you.
Lol no. Just spouting off random bullshit perpetrated by supplement companies to milk you for $70.
Creatine monohydrate is all you need and it is $20 for 2lbs of the shit...Cheap and effective.
Eh I took it when I was starting out maybe 15 years ago and who knows if it helped, gains come so easily as a beginner. My assumption would be just placebo, but I figured that with all of the know-it-alls on here somebody must have taken the time to do the research and figure out if it does anything but bloat you.
You say this word "bloat" but I don't think you know what it means.
Bloat: Bloating is any abnormal general swelling, or increase in diameter of the abdominal area.
Some people get gas and such from eating any raw powders like glutamine, creatine, fiber powder, etc...Has nothing to do with the creatine itself it's the fact that it's basically a non easily digestible powder..A 2 minute gas bubble is not "bloating"
Creatine has alway worked really good for me, at first. Then I retain too much water.
Just plain clueless...Clueless. Creatine has no effect on "water retention" Again I think you have no clue of the meaning.
Water retention: An abnormal accumulation of fluid in the circulatory system or within the tissues or cavities of the body.
Creatine does some very minor things to muscle cells' intracellular fluid...On a microscopic cellular level within the muscle cells...Hello..Fluids are what give muscle any size whatsoever lol...A huge % of muscle tissue is water..
Absolutely creatine is one of the most valuable supplements for overall well being you can get..For the money it is completely undeniable $20 for 2lbs of the stuff which is like a 180 day supply..
