Does anyone notice any benefits with muscle building or stamina with creatine?
I’ve been taking it and it feels like placebo so far but it’s only been a week

 

[AlexBrown84]

I wonder this also. All I’ve heard about it is it bloats your face so worthless for me

It's worth taking because it lowers myostatin, a literal gain goblin in your body that prevents muscle growth

Creatine supplementation in conjunction with resistance training lead to greater decreases in serum myostatin (p<0.05),

Effects of oral creatine and resistance training on serum myostatin and GASP-1 - PubMed

Myostatin is a catabolic regulator of skeletal muscle mass. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of resistance training for 8 weeks in conjunction with creatine supplementation on muscle strength, lean body mass, and serum levels of myostatin and growth and differentiation...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Myostatin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSTN gene.. Myostatin is a myokine that is produced and released by myocytes and acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family.

Creatine also raises IGF-1, and increase water content in your muscles

I have been on Creatine for 40 days now taking 3g/day and my erections are harder than when I take Cialis. Once I’m done with my current cialis on hand I won’t need it anymore. It may take awhile now though because I have no girl to use it with.
I also get way more frequent and sustained overnight erections. Like for some reason I have an erection if I wake up in the middle of night.
I must have been low dht. I use topical finasteride now though because I’m worried my hair will fall out.

It does make your muscles bigger but most of it is water and will drop if you stop taking it. It seems to make people stronger preworkout, but i used to take it post. Good for aesthetic maxxing cause its not bad for you

Its legit, one of few legit supps to use

I use creatine, ashwaganda and ectysterone, feel they work well

Creatine does hold water in muscle but it’s not supposed to bloat you but who knows it might. Not a big deal if you work on being lean. I mean the food will bloat you more than the supps anyway

Why does everyone say Creatine increases hair loss … myth ?
