For me the biggest benefit I noticed about creatine is how fast I recover and also how I get less fatigued while working out, also the pump is a little better but that's most likely because of the water weight.

I also recommend intaking 10-15 g of creatine the first week instead of 20g to prevent any stomach problems. As for how long? You can take 5g of creatine daily and as long as you need to if you're working out, nothing bad (or good) will happen if you take it without working out apart from some water weight gain, so you can take it years down the line if working out that long is your goal. Again make sure you pay attention to your body when you take creatine, and consult your doctor if you have any sort of internal bodily issues such as kidney problems before using it. Make sure you hydrate more often than usual due to your muscles being more filled with water while taking creatine. Other than that good luck on your weight training journey and I hope you reap the benefits of creatine!

Sadly they sourced a company from China but have done done testing and continue to test the product from China.

Regarding hair loss concerns: Whether true or not, I feel like the important piece of information that's often glossed over from that study and from anecdotal claims is the fact that it ACCELERATES SOMETHING THAT WAS ALREADY GOING TO HAPPEN, so you should address the actual problem rather than worrying about the possible cause of it. Creatine is the red herring distracting people, the real bogeyman is the hair loss itself. I'm now in my 30s, with a noticeably receded hairline. It started probably around age 24, perhaps coincidentally when I started working out and supplementing with creatine, but wasn't noticeable to anyone except myself (I could see the changes in the mirror each day since I had a freckle right on my hairline, so it was really obvious when the hairline changed). I was on-again, off-again with my workouts, doing roughly 3 month stints each time, and so was my hairline slowly moving back and forward every few months by the tiniest amounts. Even before taking creatine, I had read about the possibility of its impact on hair, but at that time I wasn't sure if I would even be impacted by male pattern baldness (looking at the hairlines on both sides of the family, it looked like a 60/40 scenario in favor of my hair being ok, and I also got a bit more confidence from the fact that up to that point I had zero indication that my hairline had moved at all - compared to other people I knew where their hairline had at least done *something* [no matter how small] by their low-to-mid 20s to give them a nod that they were going to experience it eventually). Further, each time the topic was brought up, people in comments would bring up the valid points that creatine was the most researched supplement and only that one (possibly faulty) bit of research had ever shown this, so probability was in your favor that your hair would be fine. Despite how unlikely it was, each time I took creatine the receding hairline became a lot more apparent, and when I would stop taking it the hairline would very slowly come back over the course of months. I got lulled further into a sense of security; I would tell myself "well, *if* creatine is causing this, at least I know from my experience now that it'll grow back each time that I stop." That was until around age 27; that was when my hair would occasionally *not* bounce back to its original hairline (obvious by my freckle) no matter how much time passed. And by age 28, there was no denying it - other people could now see it. Either it was pure coincidence that my hair receded each time around the time that I would take creatine (which is totally possible and honestly the most likely a scenario given research) or creatine did play a part in it (also possible despite how unlikely), but honestly it actually doesn't really matter what role creatine did or didn't play in it because I should have instead just been addressing the hair problem itself! (Admittedly, at the time, I didn't even know there were products to use for this, I thought it just happened and I had to swallow it or it wouldn't happen; I *wish* there hadn't been such a stigma around the topic of taking products for balding back then [which has improved since, but we're still not being open enough about it to make it obvious to the people that need to know that it's ok to use these products].) So, regardless of whether creatine accelerates it, and honestly regardless of whether you ever take creatine at all, if male pattern baldness is a concern to you then you should be doing something preventative NOW (or at least the instant it starts becoming apparent) to make sure that it simply doesn't happen to begin with (e.g. finasteride and other medicines). Maybe, had it not been for creatine, I would have followed the average trajectory of people experiencing male pattern baldness and instead experienced it in my early-to-mid 30s, but that still means I was going to experience it! And so, the fact of the matter is, if it's going to happen to you then it's going to happen to you, so what does it matter *when* it happens if you don't do anything about it? Take creatine or don't take creatine, but at least take something to remedy your hair the instant you need to if that's something that worries you.

The biggest benefit I noticed is bench went up and achieved new PRs. So I decided to continue taking 3g creatine daily going forward.

30yo guy here. Haven't really done sports since high-school. Started back again, around 1 month ago. Bought creatine, did my research on how, why, when, then took it everyday, 1x in the morning, and 1x in the evening when eating. I'm also doing my work out at home, as I'm asocial, and I'm consistent at it. I'm litteraly not kidding when I say I was doing a solid 10 pumps on max efforts 3 weeks ago, and now I can go to 25 on one rep. In just 3 weeks. But tbh my routine is a bit hard, I'm forcing myself to include 50 pumps in my work out, in the morning, working legs, back and when i get back for work I work abs only. It maybe a placebo effect but the energy I feel when taking those is insane, even at work (I'm a chef cook ) during a break I sneak somewhere to do at least 20 pumps, real quick. It feels like I'm getting addicted to these, and I'm afraid it will stop or I'll loose everything if I stop taking creatine.

The 2 best ways to recover from a workout is sleep and nutrition. You build more muscle when you are in the deep cycle of your sleep. It can be difficult to get the adequate amount of protein to build that muscle, so most people take whey protein right after working out. Whey is pretty standard (though some people choose not to use it).

How you respond on Creatine depends mainly on your meat consumption, since meat is a valid Creatine source at around 0.5g / 100g for most meat variants. So if you eat a lot of meat, your creatine storage is more or less saturated already (depending on your genetics as well), thus low effect on additional Creatine intake. Also you don't have a loading phase, this is old science while new research suggests to just stick with lower amounts and have nearly the same impact. Vegans will see the most benefits from it, since they only have their naturally produced Creatine in their body.

@@serrioton1858 You can use creatine, of course, if you want my honest opinion, and you may be surprised by it. I find that many of my colleagues and friends in the gym focus a lot on protein, creatine, energy, and caffeine supplements before exercising. However, most of them cannot exercise with me on days when I exercise with high intensity and heavy weights. Rather, I focus a lot on nutrition, and every 6 months I buy a vitamin B12 and iron supplement to enhance my sexual ability, especially in the summer. 1- My biggest secret is to eat a whole meal of chicken and 5 whole boiled eggs with the yolks two hours before exercise, which gives me explosive power during exercises. 2- I train with weights only 4 days a week, and I dedicate one day to stomach exercises, push-ups, kegels, and running for half an hour. 3- I never masturbate or watch porn films.

When you are taking creatine or working out you are bound to have more creatinine in ur urine than normal people because body needs to get rid of the byproduct....this necessarily doesn't mean your kidney is not functioning properly as such because urine creatinine is a relative marker of kidney damage and not a sureshot marker. But yes if your urine creatinine levels are above 2 even on normal 5 g dosage per day....then that might be a problem. Creatinine values between 1 to 2 for a person working out or taking creatine is just normal

During my loading protocol, I had some runny movements, but that was it. Instead of gaining weight, I actually lost weight and I’m already balding so hair loss wasn’t an issue. There may have been minor strength boost, but it was hard to tell. There is definitely muscle swelling, making me look bigger. I think the biggest thing I noticed overall was the recovery. I’m recovery much much faster. I’m using gorilla mind creatine and I’m probably gonna keep using it.
