Any advice? Is this stuff worth it or will there be negative consequences.
>>75704666You need to drink extra water every day when you take it. Otherwise it's kino
>>75704666say goodbye to your hair
>>75704666I took the most basic creatine and in that month I must admit I did felt more energized and even the month after.The problem is that I started grinding my teeth during the day, not sure why.I don't know if it was the creatine nor if it's worth.
>>75704666ive been taking this exact brand for a month+ now, ive noticed strength gains, no other side effects
>negative consequencesNothing to worry about bro. It's scientifically proven to increase your gains!
>>75704666Worth it if you don't have kidney issues or if mpb doesn't run in your family.
>>75704666If you're already bald there's no downside. If you're not, avoid.
>>75704666That particular brand is gritty and a shit deal. The c4 creatine mixes way better and it's a much better value. ON has to be the most overrated bullshit ever.
its just a protein, its like taking whey
>>75705188It's the same stuff my dude, only the brand changes
>>75704666so does it cause hairloss or not??
i got creatine hydrochloride and proceeded to never take it because it tastes like vomit because its the same chemical lmaothe worst part is the chalky feeling stuck in your mouth after, like you just threw up
>>75704666Buy hats. A lot of hats
>>75705514no its a fucking meme, people keep telling this to make you scaredthere have been numerous studies on this, it doesn't do anything to your hair
>>75704666CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
>>75705514No, you silly goose, it's a myth by the demoralization faggots to get you to not take one of the only valid workout supplements that exists.Been taking creatine for nearly 30 years, I still have all my hair.
>>75705514It's a meme. I'm not a fan of the meme, but the point is to trick retards into having superstitious beliefs.
>>75704666>wake up>10g creatine + instant coffee>14:00>lift hard and heavy for an hour>16:00>10g creatine + collagen peptides + brotein (half whey half casein)I used to do the recommended dose but then I read some broscience bullshit about mega dosing with no consequencesjust to be safe I take potassium citrate and drink 4-5L of water every day
>>75704666It's the only way to maximize your gainsDo cardio, shit extra times, drink more water and control your cortisol
>>75705736>megadosing with no consequencesDepending on the type you have and how soluble your formula is, it could cause GI problems like constipation or diarrhea. Also, the cost; you're probably just peeing money down the drain.
>>75704666your hair?Gone
>>75705632>>75705649>>75705677>there have been numerous studies on this, it doesn't do anything to your hairThere have been 0 studies on if creatine causes hairlossThat's like saying there have been numerous studies and smoking doesn't cause cancer when they've never studied if smoking causes cancer
>>75705763right, so again, no meaningful consequences, thank you for reiterating that point
>>75705267Kek
>>75704763>>75705161>>75705154If creatine "makes you go bald", you were already balding In some profit can actually thicken your hair if you're eating enough
It can make you lose hair.I would avoid it unless being 100% sure having good hair genetics, like juvenile hairline at 35 etc.
>>75705828>If creatine "makes you go bald", you were already baldingYes, that's the point. Creatine increases DHT so if you have balding genetics it will accelerate the process. It's like the opposite of fin.
>>75704666Makes you bald and bloated
>>75705514There's some evidence that it increases DHT but that's not directly related. If you care so much then just take a natural DHT blocker like saw palmetto.
>>75706583>Creatine increases DHTNo it doesn't.
>>75706666>There's some evidence that it increases DHTNo there's not.
>>75706583>>75706666I'm saying you were going bald already if you "start" going bald on creatine Even if it *does* increase DHT, it can also increase collagen synthesis nullifying My hair thickened a lot on creatine I stopped taking it because I stopped lifting so often and it was causing IBS like symptoms If you lift everyday and want to be as big and lean as possible, you have to take creatine T. Formerly>30 FFMI natty @ 8% bf
>>75704666Caffeine causes more hair loss than creatine Keep that in mind while deciding if you want to be a sick cunt (by taking creatine) or a sad cunt
>>75704666Creatine doesn't make you bald. Creatine doesn't effect everyone. Literally. Some people just don't see any difference on it.The majority of people will add 2-4 extra kg in the first year with your noob gains.
>>75706670>>75706674Shalom bald jew
>>75707918I'm neither bald nor a jew, and you are a schizophrenic.
>>75705114That's because nearly everyone is deficient in creatine. The only way to get optimal amounts from food would be to eat 2+ lbs of raw beef every day.
>>75708610That's what a bald jew would say, hopint to make others as bald as him.Post hair, bald jew.
>>75709178>>75707918KekImagine psyopping yourself out of gains by believing a Jew would be shilling a supplement you can get at Walmart for $10
>>75705649I smoked a pack of day and am currently 115 years old, therefore cigarettes do not cause cancer.
>>75709196Can't tell if trolling. Cigarettes obviously cause cancer, and there are multiple landmark research studies proving this. Also, smoking is gross and is terrible for your gains. If you want nicotine, smoking is the stupidest way to get it.
>>75709188That's very interesting but you still did not post your hairline, bald jew.Cmone, show us that you are totally not a bald jew trying to get more people as bald as him.
>>75704666is micronized creatine different than just creatine?
>>75710063I think it's more soluble and more digestible than normal creatine, therefore you poop less out and you don't need to take as much. The most soluble creatines are alkaline creatine and creatine HCl. Both are more expensive per gram than micronized creatine but I'm pretty sure they're around the same cost per serving.
>>75710082>you don't need to take as muchHow much do you need to take then?
>>75705514well just about every pro athlete in every sport -including women- supps creatine, and some of them are bald(ing), and some of them have full heads of hair. it’s more likely this is a reflection of a normal distribution of balding genetics than something influenced by creatine.
What does creatine actually do?
>>75710242energy, a small amount of strength, increases mental cognition and might even work for depression
>>75704750Constipation from dehydration scares the bawls off me.
>>75710242Creatine is a micronutrient found in muscles. It gives your muscles ATP (energy) when you do very brief high-intensity exercises, when oxidative phosphorylation is too slow and glycolysis doesn't provide enough energy. It would be useless for, say, long-distance running. But it's perfect for lifting weights. It's basically a rechargeable battery that depletes very quickly.
>>75710520So its purpose is to allow you to lift better to get a better stimulus?
>>75710545For the purposes of lifting, yes, you will be able to work your muscles harder. Bigger stimulus, more good damage to your muscles, more gains. I added a a rep or two for each of my lifts per set (aiming for 3 sets of 5). The other anon is also correct that creatine improves your cognitive ability if you're deficient in it, like vegetarians and elderly people who eat poorly.>what if I don't like supplementsJust eat more meat, which is the best source of creatine.
>>75705459Except the c4 stuff has a completely different texture. The c4 stuff is light, fluffy powder like cornstarch and the ON stuff is like sand consistency.
