It's a glorified amino acid.

There are no cons. Its cheap as chips theres literally no reason to not take it. Good for your brain and test too

Does the creatine aid in muscle growth like a protein or work by some other action?
Josiah Rivera
dont take that shit bro you dont need it
Grayson Sanchez
It gives your muscles more energy so you can lift a bit harder.
Kevin Clark
it aids by retaining water in musle, this makes muscle bigger but also you can work harder and longer thanks to it
Julian Phillips
You are only gonna get a few reps out of it, and filling your muscles with more water is only gonna make you look about 5% better
there are risks to it
aka just dont
Brayden Cruz
Actually, no. Creatine aids in ATP production by Creatine kinase, which donates a phosphate group to ADP.

I tried to take creatine, but it dehydrated me despite drinking a lot of water. In the morning I woke up dry like I was having hangover
Jeremiah Scott
Still a meme.
Robert Howard
Yeah this. I got a kidney stone from them but realize it wasn't my fault for hydrating enough to compensate.
Jaxon Martin
creatine is bullshit, you get enough of it from a healthy diet
taking too much will make you go bald faster
Lucas Garcia
Lmao. Absolutely false.

Muscle hypertrophy occurs when muscle repair exceeds muscle breakdown. Muscle breakdown occurs in the gym when lifting weights to adequate volume and intensity. Muscle repair occurs with adequate protein intake and rest. Thus all that creatine does is increase muscle breakdown. However if you were already performing your maximum recoverable volume in the gym before ingesting creatine, it will have absolutely no affect on your gains.
Hunter Bell
Edit: Creatine will only increase the ability for you to increase muscle breakdown, by assisting to the creation of ATP. Creatine alone has no affect on muscle breakdown.

Creatine might aid in the recovery too. Read it somewhere. Bro scientist , peace out.
