Before, I use to take creatine. I used it for more than a year and I immediately saw and felt the effects, especially during the first months as my body really bulked up. But the only negative effect I experienced is that my body became dependent on creatine and I must continually take it to maintain my size and workout intensity. Bur now, I just take whey because it feels more natural.

I’ve taken creatine off and on for some time now and never seen any negative side effects.

I agree with you that time will tell if creatine is safe. Personally, I have never taken creatine as I don’t want my body to become dependent on it. I believe that if you need a substance to obtain a desired effect, then you will never be able to stop using that substance. If you do, the desired effect will disappear.

Creatine is an excellent supplement if you are looking for that pumped up look. Although some people claim about that water retention effects, I haven’t personally seen any of that.

In my experience, I have used it on and off in cycled of about a month on, a month off for the best effect. Staying on for too long seems to nullify the results after awhile.

I used Creatine for several years and never had a single problem with it. I was always impressed with the results as well…

I’ve researched Creatine, and found no reports of serious side effects association with the supplement. Creatine is produced by the body and it exists naturally in different foods. That should be a first indication of its safety.

The greatest concern is that the body’s natural creatine production would shut down since its demand would not be needed after long periods of Creatine use. This has never happened in 45+ years of the supplements use. You are more likely to get a horrible disease or get fat from McDonalds than to discover, decades from now, that Creatine was bad for you.

I don’t know what it is about the supplement that has caused so much confusion regarding its safety, effectiveness, and usage. If people want the straight goods on the product, they need only to read some peer reviewed journals on pubmed.gov. Don’t rely on magazine articles or people only quoting from other publications!

People note that creatine gives them a pump. It adds size, power, speed and recovery to what they already have, but when they get off it, they lose in all these areas. ‘Proper’ use of creatine is not so that you pump up in a couple weeks from just taking the supplement alone. What you should be doing is using creatine then pushing yourself much harder at the gym. Those results — the creation of new muscle tissue — won’t be going anywhere when you decide to stop taking creatine.

I too used creatine for many years without any sideeffect.

i don’t rely on these things…never used supplements

I use whey because it seems to be more natural. I wouldn’t want to use anything that would cause my body to be dependent on it.

Supplements are OK but there’s nothing that substitutes for a healthy diet and regular exercise.

I think Creatine is safe, it is a amino acid that our body needs.

Creatine is one of the safer body building enhancements out there. As long as you speak with your doctor before you start taking any creatine or other types of ‘natural’ supplements or enhancements.

As a female, I was told not to use creatine. Bulk was not was I was after. Tight and Tone was the goal. I could be wrong but this is what was recommended to me.

[…] onderzoeken:How Safe is Creatine? - I think we’ve all heard this question from time to time from various sources. In fact, I […]

I would not try any thing that is not tried and true.

I don’t eat any supplements whose long time effects aren’t known…

I had taken creatine for a while, but then I read some articles that it can be really bad for you. So I dropped it from my regular exercise program and went back to taking whey protein instead.

Most people say creatine is safe. I bodybuild and I draw the line at protein supplements. Everybody has to make his or her own educated choices.

Personally, I prefer trying to stay as natural as possible. I have never used creatine, nor do I plan to in the future, unless there is 100% certainty that it is safe.

Creatine has not been extensively researched. I’ve read articles in the newspaper before that creatine actually improves memory. The only known danger is overconsumption and lack of water consumption. You MUST dilute the creatine heavily, or it will destroy your kidneys.

I don’t like using any of these compounds. I eat healthy and do my excerises without the use of such products.

I sure hope it is safe, since it’s approved and released. But goes to show that you never know…

Absolutely it’s safe. It’s produced naturally in the body, by taking it you are only increasing your natural levels. I never felt any site effects, except it can make your muscle feel soft from all the extra water.

Nice Post
Thanx for sharing

Good Informative post
Will Keep in touch with you

Good Informative post
Stumble you thanks for co-oprate!

very good and importaint side for u!
happy new yrars

Wow! nice post buddy!

I’ll will in touch with you …on the Blog

Stumbled you ! cheers

everything has side effect,even instant or that will show in long term.I think using supplement with correct function and dose have good result for our way.

supplement as nutrition is important when we need it.When you starting your diet plan and your body response that need more energy so this time take a look at supplement.

So any result for researches recently?Motivated your self for gain your purpose is the right choice whitout concumtion any supplement.

I’ve never tried it…most of the supplements in stores like GNC, sorta scare me!

Creatine works. The only side effects are muscle gain.

I’ve heard that a million times and it’s true to an extent that most normal people will benefit from creatine, in fact it has the nick name “the one that works”, but one side effect I’ve noticed which can be easily negated is dehydration.

Creatine uses water to volumize cells, the water has to come from somewhere and if you don’t have enough it may “dry” you out.

As long as you drink an extra 6 glasses a day on creatine, you’ll have no problems.

never tried to do so..

I’ve taken creatine, and the only side effect I noticed was a little extra gassiness. Not pleasant, so I’ve stopped using it.

Creatine is one of the most well studied sports supplements ever. The bodybuilding and sport supplement industry has a (deserved) shady reputation because very few of the products in this industry have been proven to be safe or effective. However, creatine does not fall into that category.

Time and time again, studies have shown creatine to be safe and effective. Still, you should take precautions and take it properly. Cycle on and off of creatine regularly, do not take it constantly. And be sure to drink plenty of fluids, you’ll need them anyway if you are working out and ingesting lots of protein.

Still, if you are the conservative type, steer away from creatine and other supplements. The body is a delicate balance of thousands of different compounds, chemicals, and nutrients, and how any one individual’s body reacts to a change in that balance is not 100 percent predictable. This is true of not only supplements, but even foods and medicines (even asprin or ibuprofin!) that have been around forever.

Interesting.. I know a lot of people that use Creatine but I’ve never tried it.

I don’t take creatine. If I did I would be more in line with you and not take it for an extended period of time.

I think Creatine is safe, it is a amino acid that our body needs.

SOG knives

Interesting ideas… I wonder how the Hollywood media would portray this?

As an M.D. and fitness enthusiast, I’ve cycled creatine without any ill effects over a period of months. What I find more of a problem is the under-reported risks of liquid high-protein meal replacements. The toll they take on the kidneys can be pretty rough. One has to measure the benefits of supplements with the cost of stressing the internal organs that have to process these elements in your bloodstream over long periods of time. Natural food sources are still your safest bet.

My bf took creatine for some time. He had a LOT of gas with it. It was either me or the creatine…. besides, IMO, training and supplementing in a natural way is by far the safest. Yup, he did see increased bulk so yeah it did work, but who knows what effect it has in the long run?

great article thanks for the posts

I am just gonna play it safe and not take things into my body that aren’t natural like that. I will stick with getting my nutrients the natural way, with a wide selection of foods that cover all the groups and essentials for living.

Creatine is approved by the Olympics board?

Even form all the comments here, the only side effect seems to be dehydration, but one should remember that if you ate two loaves of bread and didn’t drink more water, you’d dehydrate too - Same principle - Drink more.

People note that creatine gives them a pump.

I also want to know!

I have heard about creatine, but never tried it and I would prefer not to do it in future

I’ve heard good things about creatine from many people, but due some of the concerns, whether real or not I’ve kind of shied away from it. I may begin experimenting with it more in the future though…

I thought that body creates also creatine. I read recently an article about different suppliments, and in that study the information stated that creatine should be no danger. Of course, if you use creatine too much like anything else, then it might some day become a problem. I personally use it with my protein drink and have seen only good results.

I think it’s safe as long as you’ll just use it with moderation and never abuse it. I like some of the comments here, they are very informative about creatine, I learned something here thanks.

i don’t no………..

As mentioned earlier, our bodies create creatine naturally so the question isn’t so much whether creatine itself is harmful but the dosage of creatine that is being used. When it comes to vitamins and supplements, more of a good thing isn’t always a good thing. It is possible to consume too much of a vitamin/supplement and this is where the concern lies with creatine for most people.

When taking creatine, it is usually recommended to cycle on and off with your use. Personally, I would avoid using creatine on a daily basis for extended periods of time but am not concerned with the use of creatine when cycled properly.

not at all.

Well, i believe creatine is safe. because from i wat i have studied, creatine is secreted out of ur urine.

Of course creatine is not safe. Ok, it is secreted out of urine, but is a artificial substance, so, not safe!

I’ve taken creatine, and the only side effect I noticed was a little extra gassiness. Not pleasant, so I’ve stopped using it. Nice post though. Thanks for sharing.

Personally, I do use creatine. Of course, I try to cycle off of it. I also recommend trying the newr forms of creatine over the monohyrdrate form such as ethyl esther maltate.

The Health Nut

I took creatine for a little while until I stopped taking it of course. Caused too much water retention for me.

Well I don’t think that Creatine has any side or negative effects. I have used it in the past and I am currently using it and I must say it works for me.

Well, if you watch the side effects reported on http://www.sanego.de for this “agent”, then all of you would very much disagree that there are no negative effects….

I’ve heard people compare Creatine to Marijuana in the sense that they are both ‘gateway’ drugs. You start using simple supplements and after a while, you move into the harder ones (be it cocaine or HGH/AS).

Nice informtion , i ve not used it as yet

Although creatine has recently been accepted as a safe and useful ergogenic aid, several myths have been purported about creatine supplementation which include:

1. All weight gained during supplementation is due to water retention.

2. Creatine supplementation causes renal distress.

3. Creatine supplementation causes cramping, dehydration, and/or altered electrolyte status.

4. Long-term effects of creatine supplementation are completely unknown.

5. Newer creatine formulations are more beneficial than creatine monohydrate and cause fewer side effects.

6. It’s unethical and/or illegal to use creatine supplements. While these myths have been refuted through scientific investigation, the general public is still primarily exposed to the mass media which may or may not have accurate information.

Hello, thank`s for this great article. I`ts very useful but I want to say that creatine is not safe for me. Why? Because before a year I take Creatine and my veins is blow Doctors say me that I must stop it.

i don’t rely on these things never used supplements

Never taken it but at 145 pounds, 5′7″ dont think I haven’t been tempted. I know guys who have and had no adverse side effects but I guess I have settled for being lean. I know a 3rd party who said her brother in law had a heart attack due to the stuff…but again that is 3rd party information. Great site with great information here. Thanks!

i think it’s safe with moderation

I would be careful taking anything into my body. I would do as much research as possible and then make a smart decision.

I took Creatine for a few months during my university days and had some great gains from it. The only side effect I had from it was that I couldn’t stop eating after a workout. My grocery bill went through the roof!

Thank’s for sharing..

I believe creatine is safe.I have a friend who has taken that for couple years now and he is very fine .

I have a good read, thanks for the information and insights you have so provided here. I will certainly bookmark your blog for future reads. Thanks dan!

never seen any negatives myself, but i havent been taking it long enough to notice any longer term symptoms

I ve not had any negative effects of creatine

It safe… I’ve been using it for several months… I don’t feel any side effects of it..

Creatine is nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to muscle and nerve cells.

creatine can be used effectively if taken in moderation and with the right supplements. you will see results and its not addicting.

Here is a creatine tip for all - Never let your creatine sit in liquid for more than a few minutes MAXIMUM. Drink it as soon as you stir it and don’t let it settle to the bottom of the glass or around the sides. Think VOLUME.

I have mixed feelings about creatine. I, myself have never used it and never will. I feel that it is harmful to your body. However, I knew a lot of people who used it in high school to get big fast.

The only problem that they mentioned is the fact that as soon as they stopped taking it, they lost all that muscle that they put on with the creatine.

I really just don’t think that it is worth it.

I think taking creatine is safe coz i’ve been using it for a while and no side effects so far..

Creatine is one of the best yet most effective supplement that delivers real results. Has been around and tested for years, yet to this day it has not been banned. (surprising)

VERY VERY Low dosages are found in some foods, so I see this as a natural supplement that if taken in larger quantities yields pleasing results to the user.

Water retention is great for muscle growth!

We wish you luck to your success!

well this depends upon people.It is useful to some while to others it is harmful!

my football coach in highschool always told us to use creatine and i think i got stronger but now i hate grape juice thats my only side effect

For me creatine is not safe at all. It has side effects and is generally bad for helath.

I used to take Creatine about 2 years ago and never once had any problems with it. It isn’t bad for you like some people think it is, I think some may even think that it is a form of steroids.

Creatine comes in many different forms instead of just powder and it definitely does help. It is a great way to aid your muscles so that they heal quicker while increasing size. I noticed a lot more overall strength while I was taking it compared to the years that I had been lifting weights before when I wasn’t taking it.

My muscles grew bigger quicker and I was able to recover from a harder work out in far less time.

I’ve never tried Creatine. I personally wouldn’t use it but I have some close friends that do.

Any time you mess with Supplements, you can never truly know if they’re safe. Usually it’s better to just bring in the stuff naturally. It’s also cheaper and more effective!

As long as it is taken sensibly then you should be ok. Unfortunately people have a tendency to overdo things like this, and look at it as some kinda short cut to building muscles

i’ve been thinking about starting with creatine, but i’ve seen such conflicting information about how to use it; before the work out, after and in some instances, the bottles have recommended both. i’ve also noticed inconsistency in the dosages that are recommended. does anyone here have a suggestion about a brand and the best way to take it?

Nice read ty

There is safer ways to bulk up using natural foods.

Thank you again,

http://www.foodaskew.com

I’ve never really messed with creatine, but more or less stick with whey protein instead. Creatine seemed a bit unnatural to me, kinda like anabolics. Plus, I’d rather have a cut look, not the “I could bench press a car” look.

How safe is Creatine? very good topic to discuss.
It should be safer one

Occasionally I look here by and read the interesting and well written contributions. Today I would like to leave gladly a greeting from Thuringia in Germany!

Thanks for this information you mentioned here, It’s very useful. You’ve done great work. Cheers

People have been using creatine for sooo long already, I doubt these new skeptical articles are that grounded in real-life use. It’s surely the best supplement for gaining that extra “pump” in the legal realm… don’t take that away from us

Fabulous info, so glad you shared it with us. Keep up the good work. It answers a lot of questions..

I have been low-carbing for nearly a decade now. I have heard creatine bashed and praised over the years and I have never known what to believe about it. This is a great, informative article. Thanks so much. You’ve answered a lot of my questions.

I think if supplements such as Creatine help us then why not use them? There doesn’t seem to be any conclusive evidence to say that it’s bad.

i used Creatine i can say that it has no negative effect on me and i have been using it for a long time. so, no regret!

I really enjoy your site and have subscribed to it. Every time I visit your posts make me want to get visit it again.

I’m looking forward to see your future posts. Cheers !!

I’ve been using creatine for a year now, it’s good.

I haven’t notice any bad effects.

I haven’t actually tried creatine, but I know many athletes who have. The opinions are always mixed, some love it, and highly recommend it - while others are indifferent to it’s affects, some are even against it’s use entirely.

Thanks for sharing your opinions,

-B

I have also experienced the bulking up effect of creatine so we know it does that much. However after I stopped using it, I felt somewhat bloated so I think the effect has to do with massive water retention like what people used to say about it. It definitely works though.

Amber

I love creatine, it works great and is safe and healthy!

My husband uses it quite regularly and hasn’t had any adverse effects (yet). I’m not really keen on him using it though - don’t know if it’s worth it when nobody REALLY knows if there’s side effects.

Creatine is safe if used properly. You need to drink A LOT at least a gallon a day. All bodybuilders know this. If you don’t drink a lot, you’ll end up with too much salt buildup. My brother and his friend improperly used creatine and didn’t drink huge amounts of water. Both ended up getting kidney stones a month apart from each other.

This topic on Creatine is great as there is so many conflicting views on: its legality for use in sport, is it safe?, how do you use it?, and whats best? powder or serum?

Creatine supplements have been around for sometime now, so surely there must be some definitive answer out there

I was wondering if I should use Creatine or not, thanks for giving me some things to think about.

I have a close friend who swears by using Creatine. He’s had excellent results with the product and no complications. Seems to be working well for him!

I don’t think that Creatine is worth it. I have never used it and never will. I think that it is injurious to your body. But, I knew lots of people who used it to get big fast. The only problem that they mentioned is the fact that when they stopped taking it, they lost all that muscle that they put on with the creatine.

It should be safe since it is around for so many years. If it is not safe it would be off the shelf long ago.

i used Creatine and i can say it worked without any negative effect.i have been using it for 7 months now

i think creatine is safe …But never used …

Good article about that

Creatine, by way of conversion to and from phosphocreatine, functions in all vertebrates and some invertebrates, in conjunction with the enzyme creatine kinase. A similar system based on arginine/phosphoarginine operates in many invertebrates via the action of Arginine Kinase.

Never heard all this information abut Creatine. Thanks Dan for this post, my friend will be so exciting to check this. I really appreciate your work over here

i never used creatine and i never will, I’m totally against anything that is not natural :p

Hi
I am with you on that.I,myself shy away from any type of supplements and plan to always stick by that.I guess I feel God has provided us enough natural things to not need those extras.But I think its a personal choice and I dont knock anyone:)Have a good one-

I never took any supplements nor do I encourage them until proven to be healthy.

Never taken Creatine personally, but I have several friends who have and didn’t suffer any longterm effects (that I’ve heard of). They’ve all stopped using it however, so who knows what they’re not telling me.

I don’t bother with creatine because no one seems to know whether it brings about a muscle gain or water gain. I guess people can react differently to creatine. I just don’t want to be one of the ones who get bloated with water.

Thanks so much this is really a great insight, by the way your website is really nice.

I don’t think it causes serious damage. But in my opinion, creatine can be a kind of “gateway drug” for steroids and other more dangerous substances. I don’t take any supplements at all.

My friend will be so happy to read that, I’ve really enjoyed your site and have subscribed to it.

I know quite a few people who use creatine but I don’t really know if they have any more results than anyone else. Other people I know don’t use it and to be honest, look much the same. I guess it boils down to personal choice. Often you can feel stronger just by the “thought” of it working and it leads to you working out for longer. Hard to say on an individual basis whether creatine works for everyone.

Once again, thanks for the quality articles you post on your blog!! I admire your articles and informative information you share. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,

Nice piece of information.I never use them.Thanks for sharing it.

Helpful article. It’s interesting to see the variety of responses from your readers.

the way i see creatine is a good way to stay cut, if you continue to use it there will be side affects its a good supplement to take every couple times for a few days or weeks dont extend it to months or years tahts when youll get into trouble.

weight loss

Hiit is a form of fitness and fat loss training that can make huge strides in short times

i rather check this online.

Helpful peice of information. Of course there are side effects associated but it won’t stop people taking it.

It is not safe!
Believe me, i know some people who have used it in the past.

I don’t think it is wise to take all this things even though long term effects have not been studied extensively.

right i’m not sure its safe

I can’t belive what I’m reading here. Your body does not get addicted to , or dependent on creatine. All the substance does is to superhydrate the muscle. You may get psychologically dependent if you have your head on the wrong way.

the trick is to cycle creatine and keep the majority of any gains you made while using it. The complete explanation is too involved for this post but your body is not dependent on creatine. lol

Actually, Creatine is one of the most researched supplements (second only to whey protein). It is a naturally found substance in meats such as beef, and it is part of the most basic energy cycle in physiology called the Krebs cycle. This is where ATP adenosine tri-phosphate is broken down for its phosphate bonds and then that break down provides the quick momentary energy supply untill the more longterm supply of glycogen can arrive on the scene. And Creatine is the element that is used to rebuild this ATP back up.

So it is a natural componenet of using muscles, and the thought is the more you have the more energy you have for explosive movements - sprinting, weight lifting etc. Plus it makes the muscles swell out nicely because it stores 3 grams of water for each gram of creatine.

I say all of this to reinforce the opinions that this is a safe supplement to use.

To Your Health, - Chris

Interesting post, not too sure if this will put me off products containing creatine though.

Motivated your self for gain your purpose is the right choice without concumtion any supplement.

I dont like to use creatine but i dont will have heavy muscle

My face bloated up like crazy for a period when I didn’t really keep up the gym routine.

I don’t know about creatine for muscles, but I’m looking for info on glucosamine. They are using it in the equine industry for arthritis rehab and I was curious about peoples oppinion for humans.

Thanks,

Sarah the Farrier of WA

as a science student i think it is good for our body.. and i don’t see side effect in it.

Personally, I prefer trying to stay as natural as possible. I have never used creatine, nor do I plan to in the future, unless there is 100% certainty that it is safe.

I’ve not heard of any negative side effects from Creatine. I would imagine its fine in moderation.

I think that Creatine is perfectly safe…then again so is anything as long as it is in moderation.

thanks…

has any one tried viagra it works great for me with no issues

thanks…

Hey, thanks for the information. I’m still a little unsure of this and your post has allowed me to understand more on it! Thanks again!

Thank you very interesting the topics of your blog, is my first visit.

This drug creatine never causes any negative side effects that is what I have been told.

A new drug, I assume and is becoming popular but where is available.

Creatine i have come to know about this before in some blogs but have never tried appears to be good one

I use creatine for two years and never had a single problem

Absolutely it’s safe. It’s produced naturally in the body, by taking it you are only increasing your natural levels. I never felt any site effects, except it can make your muscle feel soft from all the extra water.

Personally, I don’t think its safe

I saw some health drink that contains creatine so I think it is generally regarded as safe but of course, moderation is the key and if you intend to use it in long term, it would be best to consult a medical doctor.

I am the same, I keep away from supplements. Creatin sounds tempting at times but these things need at least 50 years research before I would even go near them…

Supplements are good, but I guess there’s also something that we should know about. Perhaps they won’t sell it if its harmful to consumers..

I only heard that creatine is useful to boost your muscle mass and works along with L-Lyseine. I don’t know if crative has a bad effect…

I have a few friends using it and they say its ok. I am still scepital as I am already a large guy and dont want to add any fat.

Most people say creatine is safe. I bodybuild and I draw the line at protein supplements. Everybody has to make his or her own educated choices.

I use it all the time, im pretty cut and havent seen any side effects, use creatine and hydroxycut too and youll see results.

I haven’t tried creatine, but I know many who have used it and I heard that someones like it someones not.

I’m a big fan of everything in moderation. I don’t have a problem with people using Creatine for short periods of time when in a regular fitness routine supervised by a trainer.

Creatine is naturally produced by the human body so I say it’s safe, however, I think it should be taken in moderation just like everything else in life.

It is definitely safe. All meta studies show this in fact.

If you continue to use it there will be side affects its a good supplement to take every couple times for a few days or weeks dont extend it to months or years tahts when youll get into trouble.

If you are a professional athlete then maybe you have a reason to use it. As amateur ill stay away from it.

thanks..

i have never try it,but i think it will be useful for

Creatine is essential in living a better lifestyle. Energy is great and you’ll get that with creatine.

Another blog bites the dust.

creatine… hmm. i think it’s ok!

yeah!! i wouldn’t take the risk.. long term affects!! no way

Dino

Only if extensive research has been done on it would I even buy the benefits of the product.

Creatine is known for its various beneficial functions but excess of creatine do have side effects as well,for instance it may cause dehydration and rise in internel pressure in muscles,and proves to be fatal in found in feeding mother’s milk.

I don’t know much about creatine but all I can say is if it’s good for the health then, why not? But as always, anything in excess is bad for the health, right, no matter how beneficial it can be, right?

Tried, Tested and How much True?!!

wow!!That’s lot of comment posted here…i don’t rely on these things. I have even never used supplements.after my workout, I always eat 4 to 5 bananas + two raw egg + I big glass of milk.that’s my suppliment.

I took creatine when I was 18 and got better results than when I used anabolic steroids. I would say if used properly it’s fairly safe. You should drink a gallon of water a day and take milk thistle and you will be fine. I usually took around 5 grams of creatine a day. It gave me unbelievable pumps and stamina in the gym. It is not addictive however the results you get will make you feel like you want to have it all the time!

Yo, this is BILL. I like CREATINT TOO! KEEP IT REAL SUPA FLY!!!

Thanks for sharing this useful information.I am looking forward to see your posts.Hope everyone will enjoy by reading this.Keep it up.Expecting the same.

My husband has used Creatine off an on for a little over a year without any adverse side effects, he loves it.

Thank you for sharing this!

It is of keen importance to get people aware of such stuff, any chemical or supplement or physical enhancement has drastic side effects in the long run so its definitely a big NO for all of us.

i took creatine for about 2 years, it made me feel bloated but I felt like I could do more reps and my gains were more consistant

I have never heard of any bad side effects from creatine, if you dont go over board with it I dont think it can do much damage

obviously ,, u right and i m Medical Transcriptionist and i know such disease ,, that we can never resolve that kind of disease…according to me we have to do some meditation…

Nice article. I’m compiling data about creatine and its side effects on us. Particularly if it can cause cancer. So far there are no direct claims or medical research that indicates it can cause cancer. I’ve taken Creatine from MuscleTech and personally think it’s a great product in itself. It can keep you fit during your workouts and exercises when you feel fatigue.

I’ve used creatine back a while back and really don’t have any adverse effects that I can report. I would say, though, that I prefer BSN supplements rather than creatine.

I guess it boils down to personal choice. Often you can feel stronger just by the “thought” of it working and it leads to you working out for longer.

People note that creatine gives them a pump. It adds size, power, speed and recovery to what they already have, but when they get off it, they lose in all these areas.

It’s all up to you; I’d go with creatine.

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful and beneficial to your readers

I would say creatine is a great supplement but I wouldn’t recommend it for cardio intensive type athletes. When I was playing soccer it began to dry me out and make me dry heave unless I drank tons of water…after season I was fine though.

I think it varies person to person. I would highly recommend speaking with a physician before starting on supplements & a new exercise plan.

I was taking creative for a few months. Didn’t cause any side effects. I think it really depends from your body.

I took creatine for a few months and I gained a few pounds. I felt bloated some days, so I stopped taking it.

i’m against everything that is unnatural

Have had success in the past with creatine, with no ill side effects!

i never uses any creatine. I just go to the gym and work out. but i do eat a lot of food. Not junk food that is.

I have read about creatine for sometime now and everytime I think about using it in my workouts, I read a story about it possibly hurting your kidneys, especially after a prolong time. I am not sure if that is accurate or not, but it concerns me. but the upside sounds great.

I would worry about the long term effects (years down the line). What good is it to get better results if it’s doing damage to your body? Eating right and training very hard will produce results, so why take the risk?

i used tons of creatine a few years back. It did seem to speed up recovery. It could have been a placebo effect, but i got stronger and built muscle, cut body fat thats all that mattered at the time

As long as your getting enough water its fine to take creatine i think

You have to take at least 2 gallons of water with the creatine or it has no effect, Cheers

I’ve taken creatine off and on for some time now and never seen any negative side effects.

I have read somewhere that, creatine supplementation improved the health and lifespan of mice. Whether these beneficial effects would also apply to humans is still uncertain. It also led to a rise in allergic lung reactions in an animal test on mice with pre-existent allergic disease.

I used to take creatine regularly with a few buddies on the football team. We had a cycle we did and loaded once a month and before weight lifting competitions. We never had a problem. I dont use it anymore but I seem fine

i used to take creatine regularly and started experiencing hair loss .. then i consulted with a dermatologist and he asked me to stop taking creatine. Apparently that worked for me….

Creatine??? You really think so??

I always adhere to the policy of ‘moderation in all things’. I would say using creatine in moderation and in combination with a healthy diet could be a very good thing and help you get bigger. I’ve seen it with myself and friends.

I agree that any food or supplements should be taken in moderation. Of course, if you are not working out hard enough, you probably have no use for such products in the first place.

everything has side effect,even instant or that will show in long term.I think using supplement with correct function and dose have good result for our way.

supplements are bound to have different effects on different people. One man’s food is often another mans poison. Different body metabolisms have different reactions.

I would definitely avoid creatine. I’ve heard some pretty rough stories from people who used to take a lot of it.

I’m not sure what the long term effects of Creatine are, I’ve heard it’s very bad for you but it is evident there is no facts or evidence to support that notion.

Until they come out with a study, they still have to prove something. My friend took it for several years and he’s fine.

I think it’s more so that it has a lot of chemicals in it just like certain protein supplements. I’d rather have completely natural protein and make it myself, just like I’m sure some would rather have a different supplement than creatine due to its suspected side effects.

I’ve used creatine for years, and I have no reason to believe their is any danger. I give myself a break from it every once in a while (maybe for a couple of weeks), but I think we’d be seeing a LOT of problems if it was somehow unsafe. It’s probably the most well-researched supplement out there.

Nice try…

good post… thanks for sharing

The only thing that makes me wonder has to do with my medical experience. I have never heard of anyone having side effects, but creatin in your blood is a result of the natural occurrence of muscle breakdown and rebuilding. When levels get too high, it is an indication that kidney function is not what it should be since it should be flushing creatin out at a steady rate that has a normal range. Something to think about- Nate

I never faced any problem with Creatine

Congratulation,
today you won a new reader

i don’t rely on these things…never used supplements

I would never use this crap! It ruins your body.

I can’t wait to start using creatine. I’ve heard it has great effects
The other day in the gym I heard a guy say “I’ve only been using it [creatine] for a week, and already I’m bulking up”, and he was huge already!

I’ve used creatine in the past and noticed a slight improvement in performance with building muscle mass. However, I stopped using it because it felt better to my stomach to eat natural high protein foods than to rely on supplements.

In my opinion it effects some people and not others, i myself have never had any problems or side effects.

I have never had a problemw it creatine - it is naturally occuring so I don’t think it is a big deal. I mean if youtae pounds and pounds of chicken breast you can get a creatine boost, but who wants toeats pounds and pounds of anything LOL

I’m having a mixed feeling about Creatine. I think the jury is still out on this one though….

Is creatine OK to take 3 times a day in a smaller dose?Thanks…..awsome site.

I am not sure what to think honestly, I am overwhelmed with information, hehe.

Creatine exists in meat and many other sources. I’ve taken it off and on for years. I need huge doses before it does anything, but then it makes a HUGE difference in my size.

Fitness Review Blog

nice

thnks

I nearly bought some the other day as I’m wanting to build a bit of muscle - I had no idea that it could have possible bad-effects. Guess I’d better read up on it first!

Sweet!

I am careful with all supplements.

Oh great! Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely put an entry in!

I’ve used creatine for a few months at a time. You get a great energy boost when you first start using it, but it tapers off after a about 3 weeks.

What do you think of creatine with nitric oxide ? Like N.O Xplode, a lot of new studies with beta alanine (nitric oxide precursor) are currently in progress, would you mind considering making an article about that ?

Cheers

Well creatine is safe if you don’t overuse it and if you have healthy kidneys.

for instance, the n.o xplode product I was talking about: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/xplode.html

but what about CLA, conjugated linoleic acid ? I heard a rumor that there was discovered a new use for CLA togheter with Beta Alaline…just rumors thow

I’d say the same though. Creatine is simply a compound of such healthy amino acid profiles. So it’s basically safe.

I do not think that Caffeine is safe to drink, anything that you can get addicted to is not good. It then controls you and you can not function with out it - no I think it is a drug.

People, creatine is totally safe. Just because of one or two people dying from it because of their irresponsibility, doesn’t deem it a danger. Look at how many kids and toddlers die each year from cough medicine: about 400. Do you see it being banned anytime soon?

Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to muscle and nerve cells.

Hmmm Creatine is safe to take 2 times a day in a smaller dose.

I’ve never recommended nor used creatine. I had a client that was very thin and he easily bulked up by supplementing with stevia sweetened whey proein powder.

Personally, I don’t think I would ever want to take Creatine. The simple fact that there is a debate over whether it is safe or not makes me want to stay away from it.

I too used creatine for many years without any sideeffect. nice post!

Creatine gave me anal leakage for years.

I can tell you one thing:
less chemistry more health - thats the iron rule which you should not forget about, regards

Thank you! Good article.

I use whey because it seems to be more natural. I wouldn’t want to use anything that would cause my body to be dependent on it.

I’m having a mixed feeling about Creatine. I think the jury is still out on this one though….

I’m sure if there was anything significant to report about creatine, it would have been splashed all over the TV and newspapers by now.

he way i see creatine is a good way to stay cut, if you continue to use it there will be side affects its a good supplement to take every couple times for a few days or weeks dont extend it to months or years tahts when youll get into trouble.

I have used it on and off in the past, I have never seen any problems arise. That’s not to say that the same story would be true for anyone though - each persons different. You must take your own view on the risks involved before embarking on a course of any type of enhancement supplement.

I took a nutrition class. I don’t believe Creatine causes any problems as long as you drink enough water.

As long as it is taken sensibly then you should be ok. Unfortunately people have a tendency to overdo things like this, and look at it as some kinda short cut to building muscles

Creatine exists in meat and many other sources. I’ve taken it off and on for years. I need huge doses before it does anything, but then it makes a huge difference in one’s size.
Jag XKR

Does orange juice or anything else dilute the effect of creatine?

I think creatine is fine if taken in moderation. Too much of one thing is never good.

I too have a mixed feeling about Creatine

I have heard from my gym instructor that Creatine is an excellent supplement for a pumped up look. Although I am not sure about its effects…

I’ve been using Creatine for 3 years already. Never had any problems with my health, and I visit my doctor every month.

I agree that Creatine is very popular, but there is no evidence if it’s safe or not. I guess only time will tell. Besides everyone is different. I would wait until Creatine will be better researched.

The opinions are always mixed, some love it, and highly recommend it - while others are indifferent to it’s affects. People note that creatine gives them a pump. It adds size, power, speed and recovery to what they already have, but when they get off it, they lose in all these areas.

I have never used it and never will.

I have tried Creavitargo produced by BMS and i like the achievements. It makes me stronger and the strength of my muscle gets better forms!

No problems on creatine from me, although it can give me wind now and then! Other than that I would say it’s an essential supplement for body building.

What happens if you take creatine for a long time, then quit? Should you wean yourself off or quit cold turkey?

Good Informative post
Stumble you thanks for co-oprate!

Wow! Very informative post. I didnt know about the things you said in the article

Any more updates in your plans?

I think that anything in moderation is fine. My boyfriend is a personal trainer and mixes a little creatine in with his whey protein shakes after a workout…

I confirm.
Creatine considerably helps power trainings!

Creatines been around for YEARS now, its surely been well tested by now?

Good Informative post
Thanks for the nice post.

I stay away. I’m a straight Whey Protein man.

Great Article!

I have takien creatine off and on for years. The best I have forund is CellTech I went from 180 to 190 in 2 weeks. I realize that it is a lot of water in the cels but my strength went through the roof. My only advice would be to drink lots of water when taking creatine, especially during the loading phase, as creatine tends to be a little hard on the kidneys. Lots of water!!!

Great article! I take creatine in phases, and I feel pretty safe. It’s hard to say exactly HOW safe it is, but what the heck… I didn’t hear about anyone dying from it…

You have introduced useful supplement.Can you give me more information about resveratrol supplements.

I’ve been on tetracyclin for a few months for mild acne. I’m wondering if it would be safe to take creatine while I am on tetracyclin. I don’t see my derm for 3 more months so I can’t ask him till then.

nice post buddy..thanks/

Great article! I take creatine in phases, and I feel pretty safe. It’s hard to say exactly HOW safe it is, but what the heck… I didn’t hear about anyone dying from it…

“i am totally agree”

I doubt that it is dangerous.

Well creatine is safe if you don’t overuse it and if you have healthy kidneys.

that was a very very interesting post

I have never used any supplements ever in my life but still I am enjoying good health. It can be helpful to others but I never used it…

the effect of drugs in our body depends on how your body responded to the medicine taken.

I think everyone is different.. I have never heard of bad side effects, but then again maybe they just haven’t experienced it yet. Personally I think any type of enhancement isn’t GREAT for you. If your body doesn’t do it naturally– how healthy can it be in the long run?

Doctors say me that I must stop it.

Seeing the impact on the life of the rural poor and their gratitude is the best part of the job. It also led to a rise in allergic lung reactions in an animal test on mice with pre-existent allergic disease.

Nice article, thank you.
Please keep on blogging.

Best regards.

Hmm, I’ve never used it!

well creatine is safe if you don’t have any kidney problems. I know from my doc i cannot take creatine supplements.

creatine is supplement which is very difficult to digest

Judging by the short term studies that have been performed, creatine appears to be safe when used by healthy individuals, that follow recommended dosage guidelines. However one should keep in mind the short term side effects such as, muscle cramps/pulls and dehydration.

I think creatine is not safe in the long run.Why don’t you post more stuff in this blog anymore ?By the way.

I was recently told that I shouldn’t use Creatine because it isn’t right for my body type. I am average height and slender, somewhat cut, but not a ‘big’ guy by any means. I doubt this kind of product would have a good effect on the results I want to achieve from my workouts.

hmm..not sure if it is safe.. although I heard quite a few good reviews on them.

I thought that long-term use of creatine was actually shown to be harmful on the kidneys? I could be mistaken but I thought I read that in several places.

I think the general consensus regarding creatine is that its safe to use, providing one doesnt have a pre-existing condition - particularly Kidney and Liver.
As with any supplement though if you suffer from a pre-existing condition, its safe to have a doctor check you out before beginning the regime.

I’ve used creatine before, but it didn’t really do much for me. I gained some weight and could go a bit harder at MMA training but that had more to do with the fact that I was training more often too.

Nice article, thanks.

Best regards…

I am really using creatine with a bit of an overdose. I have been doing this for a few years now and really no side effects..

Only time will tell if creatine is safe or not. Just to stay on the safe side, I’d say that abusing or over consuming any substance can be harmful. Creatine helps to supply energy to muscle and that’s why many weight-lifters take creatine suplements. It is also used to treat some muscular and neurodegenarative diseases.

Any artificial thing is definitely going to have side effects sooner or later.

I think anything that isn’t pure water can be hard on the kidneys over a long period of time of course.

Have been using Creatine for 6 months now. No bad experiences yet. Let’s see how it goes Results are good though.

I agree with you. I actively do sports for six years and I take only multivitamin. I think that all of these products are good but and the bad, and why would I risk if I do not have to risk.

I’ve never used synthetic creatine because I like to keep my body natural. Red Meat is a great source of creatine and is also all natural. (Sans the hormones in the beef.)

I’m a nursing school student. I’ve found I learn more surfing sites online than I do from my coursework - at least in some areas. Also, at least the nursing program I’m enrolled in, they don’t seem to keep pace with what I find online!

I want to say i love your articles , and your website design also. Good luck in the future. With respect A.Razvan.

I really have met this question.And now I understood everything from this great article.I would like to wish you all the best.

If you don’t need it to survive, you shouldn’t be taking it. That’s my attitude, which I’m sure almost everyone here will disagree with…

Nice article, thanks.
I am looking forward to read your next great article.

Best regards…..

Creatine dealers tend to support that creatine increases muscle mass, but it is more of an increase in mass of water carried by the muscle creatine molecules. Therefore, taking creatine causes a risk of dehydration

Have one carrot and apple everyday. No need for other supplements.

I completely agree with you.That’s why I like your article.Are you agree that an apple a day keeps the doctor away?

Thank you verey much for the beneficial informatin .

thanks.. good look

I am wondering that if people still have doubts about creatine. I have been using it since 5 years without any problems.

Creatine didn’t really do much for me. I’ve taken it on and off for months then it makes a huge difference in my size. I’ve read some information that creatine increases muscle mass of water carried by the muscle creatine molecules and taking this there is a possible risk of dehydration.

@Dominik, I feel sorry for that it didn’t work for you but I think it is an essential part of our efforts.

thnx

I have used Creatine, but I alternate with 1 month of use with 1 month without it, to keep on the safe side. And Drink plenty of water when using it..

Important information is already given by many commentors but my point of view is that why take such artificial stuffs.How can a stuff which dramatically increases your body volume can be safe.Who knows what ailment it can cause in your body.May be not now but may be after 5 years.

Thanks

I’m guessing it’s pretty safe.

I used to take Creatine, for five-six months, or so. i don’t remember well. but it was long time ago and it did not have side effects at all. pretty safe for me.

creatine is safe but up to a certain level

I think there is nothing wrong using that because I have been using it without any problem.

I am not a fan of anything unless it is 100% natural! So, I wouldn’t be able to put my 10 cents into this. But, many people seem to not have a problem with it, though I;m sure anything that is NOT natural to the body will have a long term effect.

Getting back into nutrition, and lifting again now, I fully intend to use Creatine. When I used it the last time, it helped me put on 48 pounds in 14 months, with no steroids or adrenaline. The intensity you feel when you are taking it can’t be compared to anything else that is considered natural. It increases your sex drive, testosterone, and mood. You should cycle it though, for the best effects.

Hmm thnk u

I love fitness activities and I know that sometimes fitness suplements are useful to help you gain muscle or resistance or lose weight so that your muscles seem more toned. As long as creatine is consumed under medical supervision, you should take it.

I have used it and it seems fine to me…
I guess it depends how you react to things.

Cheers

I haven’t tried Creatine before. So far I hear it works for the people I know.

Creatine is found in our diets in beef. It is biochemically necessary for our bodies to function. Too much of anything has some problems however it should be safe.

Creatine in someway or another, is needed in our body. Again, it’s true that too much of creatine and other minerals in our body will give a negative result. so, everything should be balance.

I have tried creatine and I think it is ok as long as you do not take it too long without cleansing period.

Honestly, I think it’s best as well as safest to stay away from products that aren’t natural and that even have the possibility of being questioned.

I’ll follow u.

I used creatine for a while. Generally it is a good idea to rotate on and off of it. Also usually once you stop taking it you will loose some mass. My understanding of it is that it allows you to retain water in the cells to better aid in muscle formation.

I don’t have any problem after using this.

May be I’ll give a try and report this as soon as i can..

Orange Bins rents dumpsters and mini bins for construction waste, household junk, drywall, concrete and dirt. Mini bin rentals, Fast service, 7 days a week.sameday service. Keep the mini bin dumpster for a couple of days or we offer same day pickup.

Creatine has time and time again been proven to be safe and effective - even over the long-term. I recommend it to anyone wishing to gain muscle mass — pretty much anyone besides long-distance runners!

i dont think is creatine is safe. it is always better to go on natural

Mindsystems Amode is a new software program that will help you manage information visually, plan projects and stay in control of your schedule at www.mindsystems.com.au

I think Creatine is very safe, provided you cycle it properly and make sure you drink enough water.

Excellent Post. obrigado

Creatine is produced by the body and it exists naturally in different foods. That should be a first indication of its safety.

Thanks for making this post it’s real good one.

As long as you don’t abuse, it can’t do you wrong. Just follow medical advice and pay attention to any sign of miscomfort.

It’s totally safe! Just don’t take too much of it!

I wouldnt say it is totally safe at all….
It needs to be taken in moderation and used sensibly, the rotation idea is best yes.

I was extremely skinny and took creatine. I believe I regret doing so, because before, although I was skinny, what little muscle i had you could see every piece of it, down to the granular level. I was so ripped. After taking creatine, I just got bloated. Yeah I am bigger, but at the cost of looking… puffy?

I love the blog layout design, cool graphic and unique

Using creatine or any other health supplements for that matter, needs to be talked with a medical professional first. A doctor or a dietitian can help you with your problems rather than using creatine without any medical supervision. Anything that concerns your health and body must be taken seriously.

thanks for the advise with creatine

quiklån (sweden)

The body uses CreatinePhosphate as a energy force to anaerobic re-synthesise ATP. The formula is:

CrP + ADP Cr + ATP

If the concentration of ATP in a muscle cell is falling due to contractions the process goes to the right and if the concentration of ATP in a cell is raising the process goes to the left.Thank you for the list of advices!

Many things have been said, heard and written about creatine. It’s a substance found in your bodies so it’s not totally new for our system. As long as you consume it safely, everything should be all rigt.

Creatine is one of the safest strength building supplements out on the market.

Like anything in life, it is probably a matter of moderation when taking creatine. Too much of anything is probably bad for you. Except chocolate (-;

I definitely agree. I did not take supplements for longer period of time as well.

I used to take creatine, but to be honest I never noticed any benefits. As far as being safe or not, my personal opinion is that it’s safe to take. The only supplement that I take now is whey protein. I also eat a healthy diet.

My understanding of it is that it allows you to retain water in the cells to better aid in muscle formation.

I would think if you wanted to take creatine you’d check on safe dosages and how long you could take it for.

I think this creatine already advice by government

Creatine is part of our bodies. If you don’t abuse of it it can do you no harm.

Creatine is a strong no - no for me. I have had some side-effects to it. I won’t advice it to anyone. The positive reviews fail to convince me.

I prefer not to use supplements, and if its Creatine than just forget it. Natural options are much better.

I hear all kinds of things about Creatine. Personally, I wouldn’t even try it!

Thanks for the info- it turns out Microsoft’s bing really is making an impact, it seems to me your blog is getting a lot of search engine traffic from bing- have you found this to be the case?

I’ve never had a problem using creatine, although it is only a small part of my overall supplementation regime. Again, avoid abuse and there shouldn’t be a major problem…

I think it works, it works really well in fact. If there is side effects from Creatine then its going to be thirty years before we here or see them.

The greatest concern is that the body’s natural creatine production would shut down since its demand would not be needed after long periods of Creatine use. This has never happened in 45+ years of the supplements use. You are more likely to get a horrible disease or get fat from McDonalds than to discover, decades from now, that Creatine was bad for you.

People note that creatine gives them a pump. It adds size, power, speed and recovery to what they already have, but when they get off it, they lose in all these areas. ‘Proper’ use of creatine is not so that you pump up in a couple weeks from just taking the supplement alone. What you should be doing is using creatine then pushing yourself much harder at the gym. Those results — the creation of new muscle tissue — won’t be going anywhere when you decide to stop taking creatine.

I agree with ‘Sport Psychology Degree’ here. To date, there are no scientific studies showing creatine is bad for the body - After all, creatine is produced naturally in the body, and it is ingested through meat and fish consumption too. The only difference with creatine supplements is that you’re able to raise your creatine levels to a higher extent, so you can push yourself more when you train. That said, I’d still recommend caution and ‘cycle’ periods of creatine supplementation with periods OFF it as well. And stick with creatine monohydrate powder, as it’s the most tested form of creatine.

When I’m still working with my previous job, I’ve read that Creatine has good effects too in our body. So I really agree.

great article, thanks…

Creatine?
I dont agree with you..

I have used creatine, after used creatine I understand that, the long-term effects of taking creatine over a long period of time haven’t been established yet. Its side effects when used along with other medications or supplements also haven’t been determined yet.

Its a good idea to watch out for the unknown.

My husband was thick in his life only when he consumed creatine. Upon termination of consume creatine, he immediately lost the weight obtained. I heard that creatine is harmful if consume long term, but it is not proven.

I’m 19, 148lbs, and just began lifting regularly this month. I just bought Labrada’s lean body mass 60 protein powder. However it has some creatine in it. Normally I would take a protein shake 3 times a day, but would I need to take this one less because of the creatine? Its made for hardgainers, which I am, but is this product even safe?

A guy from my gym reckons creatine is what hospitalised him, he had kidney pains. Im not sure if that is true though. There appears to be no bad research on creatine to show its side effects otherwise I dont think it would be on the market especially here in Australia.
Muscle Mass had some of their creatine removed off their site I think because Supplements from the USA need to pass a Therapeutic Goods Act. Everything is back to normal now though.

Thank’s for great post. Your blo is very informative for me!

creatine has only been recently introduced to the market it is hard to determine whether or not there will be long term health effects from it’s use. However it must be noted that to date there is not one, I repeat not one reputable study that shows creatine has any dangerous side-effects. 2 After eight years with no severe side effects I believe that one can begin to assume that creatine is relatively safe. I find it funny that most people I meet that are concerned about creatine’s safety are also people who like to go out and drink and smoke on weekends…try to find the irony in that.

Thank’s for that informative for me personaly post. I never try it before but now I’ll!

Thank’s for that informative for me personaly post. I never try it before but now I’ll!

yes, i think it’s safe.. what is creatine anyway? is it a car?

No, I think its not safe and i don’t like supplement.Natural health is good.

I have been taking Jack3D and it has creatine in it. I havent noticed any side effects. I plan on cycling off of Jack3d for a couple weeks and then go back on. It gives me an amazing pump. I do a high rep 200 x 4 workout with kettlebells.

if this is a creatine mix that has sugars mixed in, I think you will be fine as long as it has stayed dry. I am currently using up some creatine mix that expired in 2004, it is fine.

what a great post.thanks Bos, i try to following that.pram from Indonesia.

Thank’s for great post. Your blo is very informative for me!

I don’t use creatine. My doctor says it’s risky for me because I have kidney problems as it is. I’m no doctor so I don’t know how creatine can damage the kidneys, but I don’t really think it’s worth finding out firsthand.

Fuel for muscles. Strength and bulk development. Kidney and liver toxicity. Muscle cramps, water retention and swollen limbs. Abnormal heart rhythms. You decide the pros with the cons.

It is totally safe. I promise

Creatine is safe as long as you don’t over use it.

Creatine is a substance present in our bodies. Before taking any creatine supplements we should first consult it with our doctor or a nutritionist.

small amounts of creatine are found in meat. Our muscles naturally use it. We were designed to consume it. It is safe.

I am interested to know more about keratin supplements. I want to take some supplements, but I’m afraid of adverse reactions….I must see a doctor ;))

nice, this article answers some of my questions I guess. Anyway I’ve read about creatine in some health articles and I think it’s pretty safe to consumed, since our body can tolerate it.

Dear Webmaster,

Thank you for giving us such an informative website on weight loss and helping all those overweight people to loose weight effortlessly. We are glad to inform you that your website is listed in our Directory of Weight Loss websites.

Thanks again.

Creatine is ok for you as long as you don’t drink alcohol while on it or OD on it. Small doses are actually healthy for you.

The good thing is that as soon as they have any evidence that a supplement is not safe it is pulled from the market. Whey, creatine, glutamine, and some of the others have been around for a long time (relatively), so I don’t think you’ll have any problems there.

creatine is very important, we need to safe our creatine, my father experienced kidney failure and his creatine was going up, and must transplant

I don’t like using any of these compounds. I eat healthy and do my excerises without the use of such products. And this also works fine for me.

I found this post very interesting and I have added your blog to our bookmarks!

I too used creatine for many years without any sideeffect

I noticed when I was in middle school it was a crze, and all the kids were taking it, so it couldn’t be that bad of a supplement.

That’s a ton of comments… but creatine is perfectly safe. There is nothing that can harm you.

The only thing you may have to worry about is that it won’t react with you body the way it’s supposed to and then you just won’t get the benefits.

That’s the bottom line without going into all the science.

If there is any concern about a supplement, I’d prefer not to take it. There are other ways to get the vitamins, minerals, and essential oils/acids that we need.

I would want to know what it does to your body. @zayiflama: Are you sure there are no side effects?

I don’t have any problem

Creatine is a safe supplement to use. Just take the recommended dosage and see the benefits.

So much I white, must probably be still further researched there. The global long-term Affekte of the creatine was indeed not yet sufficiently studied. I would remain first times with whey and multi-vitamin.

One of the body’s natural products is creatine. An average 200 lb man needs about 2.5 g of this substance for normal function. The body typically makes 1.5 g on its own, leaving the balance to be ingested via diet or additional supplement intake.

Hi! I’m from the Philippines. Thank you very much for the interesting post!It’s very helpful and very informative.

This is great news for all those people looking to bulk up and grow muscle and look good for reality TV auditions!

hic , it’s the 1st time i hear the word creatine. what does it mean?

I don’t know whether creatine is safe or not, but I would guess that the way it’s used by people who aren’t supervised by physicians is probably not a good thing.

As with anything, you can overdo it.

This is quite informative because I have only made a research about this topic until this post. Based on what I read so far, it seems that it enhances strength and that it is safe to use. However, I might add, I have never tried it before.

Good Question. Well i found Creatine does work. you need to drink allot of water with it and work out allot to see results. The only thing thing is that it is very unhealthy for your heart in the long run.

Of course it’s safe! Creatine is naturally in your body!

I’ve taken creatine off and on for some time now and never seen any negative side effects. Like you said, time will tell I suppose.

it’s totally safe. just don’t overdose. there is much more dangerous stuff out there…

great post

as long as it’s safer than hydroxicut!

In my opinion, people should try whey and not creatine. It’s better to be safe than taking the risk.

I don’t also take supplements that are not recommended by my doctor. I’m afraid it will only bring harm to my health.

Great info, I wish good health to all of you.

I believe creatine is safe to use. In my past experiences with it, it didn’t turn out to be the “wonder” product I had thought it might be. However, I did notice quicker gains than I did when I didn’t use it.

I used it for a few years and so far I haven’t seen any adverse side affects.

Never used creatine but looking to use it

Hi I like your blog you write good and informational articles Keep up the good work!

Thank for this great sharing………..

Anything taken with moderation should be fine in my opinion

If it isn’t in the form of real food I won’t touch it.

First time here at this blog its very nice and informative. I want to visit here again and again. I would be very pls if you allow me here. Its a great sharing.

I used creatine back when I was playing college baseball… I was on it for about 2 months and I tell you what I had some impressive results in the weightroom… All of my 1-3 rep maxs went through the roof. Whats funny is I actually had my worst season performance wise. I think that I lost sight of what I needed to accomplish on the field (baseball related movements) and focused more on looking good in the gym. Looking back I think creatine would have been much more beneficial if I would have stayed focused on how if could helped me from a baseball standpoint. I didn’t really have any problems or side effects at all, felt great!

thanks for sharing this

great post dude

Great post, thank you!

Thanks for that brief amount of info. A bunch of us at my workplace are about to start taking Creatine, I think I’ll probably start with a 6 week cycle and see how my body responds to that…

I agree that anything taken in moderation is okay. By the way, I hope to see more recent posts here.

I’ve taken creatine, and the only side effect I noticed was a little extra gassiness. Not pleasant, so I’ve stopped using it. Nice post though. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been using Creatine for a few years now and the results have been great. I find that my muscles repair a lot faster when I’m taking Creatine than when I’m not. I also noticed that if I take it before lunch and then workout at 5-6pm, I seem to have more energy and less muscle fatigue during sets. Which is odd, as that’s not what it’s intended to do.

i dont personally take it dont think i would unless it was necessary muscle building imo is a long term thing you just have to keep working out and in the end you will get there, thanks for posting an interesting debate going on here.

It put water in my muscles made me feel really big, but when i stopped using it…i lost everything. But, hey maybe i was using the wrong kind.

I have never taken creatine as I don’t want my body to become dependent on it.

Nice post… its really very informative

there is so much of this stuff out there it can be hard for people to find a reliable supply, personally i dont use it but know of a few that do.

I love this debate. There is a lot of hype with supplements and many are gimmicks. Creatine works. Are there long term effects? That is a valid concern. Moderation is the key. Focus on eating right, use supplements in moderation. I will do on and off cycles of all supplements just to be safe.

I agree, it must be taken in control and must be in doctor’s supervision. If you didn’t know what will you do ask the experts and listen to them. Just read much information as you do.

Good afternoon … my friends and I love this site, very good, congratulations, always visit.

In my opinion, creatine is a safe supplement as long as you’re using the pure creatine monohydrate. This is really the only creatine supplement that has been scientifically studied and shown to be safe in the short-term. Many of the other types of creatine may be more risky to take and have not really shown significantly more effectiveness when compared to pure creatine monohydrate.

Studies have showed that though we are eating right and have a regular exercise, we still need to take supplements because our needs are different. We must take a certain supplement to meet that need. I’ like to try that creatine. Thanks for the post.

great article thanks for the posts

Great post,Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

Nice post I Like your site very well and continue to do so.

Most people say creatine is safe. I bodybuild and I draw the line at protein supplements. Everybody has to make his or her own educated choices.

Creatine is found in all proteins. I dont see what the big deal is. Anything in moderation is fine.

Creantine is safe as long as it is not abuse by the user.

This is a great blog! I would really like to keep reading your blogs. Cant wait for the next post. Good blogs are hard to find!

This is great information and not sure if I can agree or disagree about this article.

Thank you very much for your information. It was a great help.

I don’t rely on these things… I never used supplements..

I would say… If you cycle off creatine appropriately, it won’t hurt you.

As long as you are not continuously taking it over months upon months without a cycling off, you should be fine.

There are many methods of weight loss but I think the best way is a significant change at the top.

Thanks, was looking forward to such info, what took you so long for sharing it. Hope to see such informative stuff in future as well.

dissertations

I can’t say its good for you and I can’t say its bad. There are just to many articles that say its bad and at the same time there are many that say its good.

The way things are any more you can find articles that say everything is bad. it wasn’t that long ago that i heard milk was bad for you. If you listen to vegetarians they will say meat is bad for you.

It is hard to know what is bad and what is good any more.

I don’t think Creatine is good for everyone. It might be helpful for some peoples, We all are somehow different from each other. So if it is helpful to someone it doesn’t mean it will help others too.

I very much impressive to read this post. Great informative, I will go to bookmarking this.

its really very impressive posting thanks for sharing this with us.

Hay dude this is a nice posting. I loved it. Keep posting this type of posts.

Hi there. =)

Fantastic Post regarding bodybuilding and fitness training. Enjoyed every minute of reading your post. Have already subscribed to your RSS feeds to stay tuned. =)

Btw, after following your post, i think you look like quite an experienced person in the health and wellness area, given some of your valuable advice in this important and practical area of our lives.

Thus, I hope that you could help me out with my health problem. Since young, i have suffered from excessively sweaty armpits and have been trying to find a cure to solve my sweaty armpit problem. Recently, i have been visiting this site sweatyarmpit.net and trying to find solutions to my underarm wetness issue.

Even though, after seeing your posts and content on this very blog, i feel that you are quite experienced in this area to help me out with my hyperhidrosis problem. I hope that you could give me some advice or ideas on how to go about curing my illness and find a permanent cure to stop my armpit sweating as soon as possible. Thank You.

I’m getting more and more leery of taking anything as a supplement. Try to find the natural source of what you want and then eat the natural foods. My parents are in their 80’s and are still really fit (Dad plays tennis every day, my Mom walks 3 times a day through the countryside). They’ve never taken a supplement in their life - but have eaten food from their garden and stuff prepared in their own kitchen for years.

I don’t think so that supplement use necessary for making your health good

We should keep our self feet, but this doesn’t mean that we should build our muscle. there are many athletes who doesn’t have good muscle but they all are feet enough.

if youtae pounds and pounds of chicken breast you can get a creatine boost, but who wants toeats pounds and pounds of anything LOL

I love using creatine. I don’t feel like you should use it for extend periods of time nor is it a replacement for proper nutrition. I recommend going on and off any supplement. I will switch between creatine and NO. Not really sure about no but the caffine helps we work out harder for sure.

I have heard about the water retention, that’s pretty minor but the idea that you lose the effects once you stop taking it…. that turns me off.

I Love creatine.I don’t think that it is harmful for our body.But you just have to drink LOT OF WATER daily.

Thanks for the article ……..

Nice blog!i just got it.here i got more info.i like this types of blog.please post more information.thank you.

I have not used creatine because I heard that it results in weight gain, because of more water in the muscles.

This post is good, keep it up

great post! keep the good work pal

I’ve done a bunch of research on Creatine and other recovery type products and haven’t come across any reports of serious side effects association with the supplement. The fact is that Creatine is produced by the body and it exists naturally in different foods. That should be a first indication of its safety. I have heard reports - mostly from friends - about an upset stomach after taking but that’s about it.

nice post, thanks for sharing it.

i thank google to bring me here and very thanks to you for the great article
its very helpful to me
happy new year

Ive always found it has a brilliant effect

Very fun article thanks

The only negative thing I’ve ever experienced with creatine was due to my own fault.

I felt renewed during workouts, but my muscle tissue hadn’t gotten the message and I tore a couple in the upper torso.

Other than that, creatine has been great.

I use it sparingly and only as a supplement when I do not have access to appropriate food intake.

I used creatine when I was at first time build my body. Then I was doubt, and I asked to myself, is it good for my long term health?
Since that, I decided to stop using creatine.

Excellent article, My brother uses creatine and he swears by it, and has never had any problems.

Creatine is safe if you take like is recommended.
You have to take about 3L of water for day to prevent kidney problems.
Regards.

I am using creatine for many years and never had bad experiences. I suggest it to everyone.

Great article, keep posting

Thanks for the sharing. Bookmarked your site!

I don’t get the big deal around Creatine??

I never had a problem with it, the results were great and no side effects.

Whats all the fuss I say??

Compost

I’ve never had problems using Creatine. Maybe it depends on which brand you buy? Never buy the cheap stuff!

I’m still a firm believer in natural nutrition and intense workouts. Increase weight for more muscle mass. Regardless if your after bulk or tone, nutrition plays a part.

I use Creatine on my training days, but I do notice that sometimes I get cramped easier. I don’t know if that is related ot the creatine or not, but I’ve read somewhere that creatine can cause that.

-Dan

I use it and I’m not dead yet…

I use creatine and never have had any side effects. although you cant over do it!
Weight Loss Herbal Supplements

i think it’s safe with moderation

I’ve been using creatine on a 6 months in, 1 out basis and have had no side effects so far. Now I’m gonna try one month in with really hard work, one out with hard work too, to see how it works, because as one commenter mentioned the initial effect is the powerful one, then benefits seem to decrease.

Nice Information about care life thanks for share information.

Yes, Creatine in moderation can be very beneficial. Just don’t overdue it. Going one month on one month off is the best way to stay healthy and pack on the pounds.

Creatine is a great suplpement, and quite harmless tbh.

I use it for two months and I find that if u r using u have required good exercise if u will nt go for it u will be bulky .u also feel odd .
so if u r hard worker take it in limited amount .I advised u to avoid it

I hvae used creatin 3 times a week for 2 years now, and i haven’t got any problems with it yet.

I am just starting to use creatin now, but it was nice to read something about it first.
So thnx for the post and the comments.

Creatin..
Isn’t much more easy just to drink some milk?

May creatine supplement or any other supplemet increase hemmroids problems?

Creatine is a very good supplement if you want for that pumped up look. Although people claim about that water retention effects, I haven’t personally seen any of that.
My experience says, I have used it on and off in cycled of about one month, one month off for the best effect.

great site i have already added my favourite your site

Thank’s for great post.

great post

A few years ago i used to cycle creatine 1 month on and 1 month off for about a year. I did notice a big difference in my strength and appearance until i quit taking it.

I’ve read that creatine can damage your liver if you take it for long, is it true?

Also you can gain muscle mass. http://www.buildingperfectbody.com/articles/gain-muscle-mass/

Creatine is a elements that is contained in a well balanced lifestyle of eating that provides all the nutrients necessary to build healthy muscle tissue.
Balance your diet, balance your life http://www.ontrachyponsis.com

In general I believe creatine supplementation is safe, provided it is from a reputable manufacturer. The body naturally produces creatine in limited supply, so it’s not like taking a substance that is foreign to the body.

Does creating affect your libido? I mean will it work like butea superba as a natural herb male enhancer, or is it simply for muscle growth. I know the herbs work ok for me but I wonder if creatine is also useful in any way.

thanks for the post. creatine when taken properly is fine.

Nice info for me because I really need this comment. I bookmarked your blog. Thanks and keep it up.

Before taking any creatine supplements we should first consult it with our doctor or a nutritionist.

Thank you for the awareness, I myself will be looking more into also. Double checking with my doctor first to see if it is appropriate for me to be taking. I will be letting friends and family about rechecking what they are taking. Thank you

Better stop creatine now and all highly addictive drugs that I consider has brain crushers. It’s bad for you, bad for youth, bad for elderly. Care homes in our country have face nowadays higher increased of dependent people addictive to all sort of drugs. It’s bad! Our care homes must do very carefull and use all sort mechanisms to minimise mistakes related to drugs.

we should take creatine after gym only not as food it works better in that condition

Thanks a lot for a bunch of good tips. I look forward to reading more on the topic in the future. Keep up the good work! This blog is going to be great resource. Love reading it.

Creatine is a great product. There are so many different ones though and looking into each product and its reputation is a must, after all you are putting something into your body and it’s best you know its from a quality source. I took it when i began my air conditioning job as it was heave work and i did feel quite a bit stronger.

I’ve been using creatine for quite a long time now, and all I can say is I have never felt any side effects. As with every supplement, the key is obvious: don’t go to the extremes. Just intake the right dose before and after a intense workout session and you’ll see results in a short time.

Over at my blog (Gain Weight and Muscle) I talk about how creatine is one of my daily supplements.
I really think an excess of any of these supplements really can do harm to your body, but used in moderation it should be just fine, and I personally have seen nothing but great results building muscle with creatatine.

~Jerome

The greatest concern is that the body’s natural creatine production would shut down since its demand would not be needed after long periods of Creatine use, thanks for your post.

i too had many doubts on creatine,but the comments above have cleared my doubts.

I had taken creatine for a while, but then I read some articles that it can be really bad for you. So I dropped it from my regular exercise program and went back to taking whey protein instead.

Better stop creatine now and all highly addictive drugs that I consider has brain crushers. It’s bad for you, bad for youth, bad for elderly. Care homes in our country have face nowadays

I don’t know why others trust creatin.

I use creatin in cycles and love it. Never felt any side affects.

Nice article! This one really made me think for a second, that doens’t happen that often. I’ve also forwarded this article to some colleagues
who were talking about it today. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Nice article. I really dont prefer to use Creatine at all neither any other supplement.

I always wanted to have physical trainning, thaks for such a helpful blog, Keep sharing the good work.

You guys always deliver useful content. Awesome post. Very interesting and valuable videos. Keep posting more articles. Thanks for sharing useful info.

Thanks for the great info.

This is very intersting information and nice article.

I’m really interested why pharmaceutical companies which produce male enhancement pills or enhancement supplements do not add creatine to their products?

I heave heard mixed reviews on creatine - I met someone who told me about a nitirc oxide solution which is far safer than creatine - but it was sold via network marketing…..!

My Boyfriend uses Creatine and he has never had any problems. But i think everything has to do with restraint. If you over indulge any thing can do you damage.

Hei,IT IS A GOOD topic. some people claim about that water retention effects, I haven’t personally seen any of that.it look forward reading more the topic in future.

I used to take creatine a while ago and it made my urine smell! and i don’t think the muscle results are worth the risks of ‘possible’ kidney damage anyway.

I agree with you on this. Appreciate you writing on this topic!

hımmm
I use creatin in cycles and love it. Never felt any side affects.

I was thinking about using Creatine but i read a lot of articles and comments which said créatine is bad for the health but only if we use it too munch, it is recommanded to use creatine during 2 months or a little more maximum!

Creatine is one of the safer body building enhancements out there. As long as you speak with your doctor first

I’m a 17 year old athletic guy who works out at home. I’m looking to start adding creatine to help supplement my exercising. I was wondering if it is safe to take.

Creatine is pretty safe as for as i know, i take creatine tablets before and after every workout and im fine so i think they are ok.

Yes, totally agree with Deadbolt, creatine is safe, have been use it for almost a year and have no problem whatsoever.

Great info. I use creatine!

I used Creatine for several years and never had a single problem with it. I was always impressed with the results as well Thnx have a nice day

ive got a small tub of it but have always been wary of it.my friend has been using it for 2 years now and hes never had any problems
