• Rapid ATP resynthesis → stronger sets and higher peak power
• Greater training volume → measurable muscle hypertrophy
• Faster recovery between bursts of high‑intensity effort
• Intracellular water retention → cell‑volumizing, possible anti‑catabolic signal
• Small cognitive gains in memory and reaction time under sleep deprivation
• Early evidence of neuroprotection (TBI, Parkinson’s, ALS)
• Slightly improved glycogen re‑synthesis and blood‑glucose control
• Large safety dataset: chronic use up to 20 g/day shows no renal or hepatic har

Creatine is the Jesus Christ of supplements
 
  • Love it

what about the conspiracy saying it indirectly causes slight hair loss?

Reactions: flambria
Mitochondrial support – buffers cellular energy, reduces ROS generation
Muscle preservation – slows sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
Neuroprotection – preserves brain bioenergetics, may delay cognitive decline
Skin aging – early data shows improved dermal cell function and repair
DNA protection – may lower oxidative DNA damage via antioxidant effects

I know people on it years with the thickest heads of hair - so idk.

bloat keeps me away from it

does anyone know if there is a compound to fix the bloat that comes from creatine?

It's not necessarily true, but it ain't false either. Creatine increases DHT, that's a fact. And DHT is linked to hair loss if you have AGA printed in your DNA.

But what may cause you to go bald isn't the creatine, it's the DHT, and even without the DHT increase from creatine (which is very small) you would've gone bald anyway lol. All creatine could possibly do is make that process slightly faster, but at the end of the day it's your gene's and DHT's fault.

If you're worried, the solution is just to use DHT blockers, which you should be doing regardless of creatine or not.

It raises your natty potential permanently, which is important for the non-roided users in the forum.

When in the day should I take?
 
BOTB? BOTB?

Creatine is goated.

Creatine does not bloat you….

if you take like 3 g only maybe
What makes you think it does?
Creatine increases intracellular water retention, which means it pulls water into your muscle cells, not under the skin. (Facial muscles are very small, and there’s not enough muscle volume in the face to cause a visible bloating from intracellular swelling…)
 
literally the best supplement lol
