Does creatine do anything if you don't lift? I had some blood work done and just got my results back. My creatinine levels were 'LOW' at 60, it indicated a healthy range was 70-120 (idk the unit of measurement.)

Everything else was in the healthy range except my cholesterol, which was a mixed bag with only 2 of 4 of the scores being good.

Yes, you'll drink more water, piss more often and get a bit heavier.

Marginal increase in memory and clarity, if you're malnourished.

Easy there Dr. Rhonda Patrick; the mega-doses do get a little sketchy for kidney health, especially if you've got shit-tier skills at adding adjuvant milk thistle.

Placebo like milk thistle doesn't work for anything, much less overdosing on something that is heavy on kidneys.

But hey, keep buying, it's my lifehood.

It will definitely boost your creatinine levels. Mine were so high that my PCP told me to get off of creatine. Besides this, there are studies coming out about its effect on brain health, noting that patients with creatinine levels in the upper limits of the normal range are significantly less likely to develop dementia and other degenerative brain diseases. But most people get creatine from standard food sources, not supplements. In your case, supplementation would be sufficient to prevent potential brain disease (except if you have a genetic predisposition to it).

No, this shit will definitely fix a light-to-moderate creatine overdose, no question. Picrel.

He's trying to keep people from taking it because he's a gains goblin. /fit/ has all sorts of losers trying to sabotage others for no reason. Creatine has only positive effects and has nothing to do with hair.

It's good for muscle recovery, even if you don't lift. I admittedly don't lift as much as I should, but I have a fairly physical job and creatine helps me not feel like shit.
