blood pressure and creatine
« on: September 05, 2014, 08:43:50 PM »
So after 6 months of use I'm borderline hypertensive.  Seems like this is a known side effect.  Anyone else experienced it?  Doesn't seem worth it for 5 lbs or so of gains.  Think I'll return a just purchased jug.

6 months! You have to cycle that shit dude...It is methylated making it very hard on the liver.

A buddy of mine cycled onto creatine by loading it up, 20g a day for 2 weeks, and started getting random horrific nose bleeds, easy bruising, insomnia, rage issues etc...Serious stuff.







Now he only runs high dose Tren/Test/Halo year round, says the sides are way milder and the gains are comparable..

I never got anything out of Creatine, until recently.
I always used the 5 G dosage, didn't feel or notice a thing.

I tried it again, this time I used 10 G a day. My weight shot up around 7 pounds, my lifts went up around 10 lbs. on each previous PR on bench, dead, squat.

Plus the stuff I used (Musclemeds) had a powdery look to it, unlike the normal stuff that is grainy like sugar. OR maybe its the other shit mixed in with this brand, not sure... (Not sure what the PEG shit it).

Anyways, for life insurance update, the lady came to my  house to take my blood / piss. Everything came back perfect, except they said I had too much creatinine in my piss.
(Which of course is normal when you are taking that stuff). So yes, cycle that stuff as well if you use it...

I took it on n off.  I'm assuming u r not watching ur salt intake. Mixing creatine w high salt intake is not good n will shoot up bp

Great stuff if your goal is to piss every 45 minutes.
