Creatine is the most bullshit supplement there is...

*Creatine kinase levels

>Use protein whey all year round with in total a month off to make sure your body doesn't get too used to it.

Creatine's effectiveness has been thoroughly proven and you will have to argue against the vast body of evidence in it's favour

That being said, some people are non-responders and won't benefit from it

>Make sure to properly cycle your whey

????

sun screen is the most bullshit supplement there is. The good effects are mostly placebo and the water UV protection lasts only as long as you take it. You'll lose half your melanin in two weeks if you stop taking it.
Use a huge black dildo all year round with in total a month off to make sure your body doesn't get too used to it. Then use 10cc of estrogen when bulking and cyanide when cutting

everyone responds to creatine. if your gut hates creatine monohydrate, get micronized creatine monohydrate. a bit more expensive but much more comfortable in the gut and superior uptake. if you want to throw money at the problem get creatine ethyl ester
that's only if you don't activate it

OP here. So I had a blood panel last month a got scared by my Creatine Kinase levels of 276. (Professional athletes are ~200). Did a blood panel this morning after stopping trianing for a week, well they just calle dme with my new CK levels... it's 115.

The muscle cells in your body need CK to function. Levels of CK can rise after a heart attack, skeletal muscle injury, strenuous exercise, or drinking too much alcohol, and from taking certain medicines or supplements. If this test shows that your CK levels are high, you may have muscle or heart damage.
Stay safe user

you are just a no responder, also creatine is cheap as fuck compared to whey

I got some creatine in capsules, but I let them sit in container a bit and now they're currently expired for a year.
Are those still good?

I just started my loading dose of creatine. Did I fucked up lads?

loading is a meme, just take 5g/day

i get hypertension headaches from supplementing creatine, is this normal? any way around it?

Creatine can lower blood sugar, particularly when combined with exercise. This suggests it may have a nutrient partitioning effect, i.e., it may help preferentially store carbs in muscle as opposed to fat.
Creatine can increase the formation of osteoblasts (cells that make bone), which can help with bone formation, bone repair, and even osteoarthritis formation.
Creatine can help reduce fat accumulation in the liver for people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Creatine can help people with fibromyalgia (who have chronically low creatine phosphate levels, and ipso facto, low ATP levels).
