How legit is creatine?

[mewcel420]

Not talking about the muscle building aspect of it, I'm talking about the mental health effects, increased test to DHT conversion, debloating.

Three weeks of creatine monohydrate supplementation affects dihydrotestosterone to testosterone ratio in college-aged rugby players - PubMed

Creatine supplementation may, in part, act through an increased rate of conversion of T to DHT. Further investigation is warranted as a result of the high frequency of individuals using creatine supplementation and the long-term safety of alterations in circulating androgen composition...

You’ll see more strength gains rather than physical gains, which isn’t to say you won’t improve in your physique. There is the idea of hair loss but if you’re truly a lanklet I’d begin taking it.

I'm not worried about hair loss and I'm also not a lanklet

how come?

How did our ancestors get creatine without supplements? From raw meat?

U probably shouldn’t NEED it tbh. Especially since you’ve said you’re 15. And cutting isn’t optimal for puberty. But neither is potentially bloating yourself with creatine.

I'm not gonna cut.

Water retention from creatine is contained mainly in the muscles, right?

We can't be sure of that

I believe so.

@LegitUser
African tribes eat raw meat, that should be enough evidence that our ancestors ate raw meat, at least to a certain extent.
