[@Nobody-bq7pl]

I took creatine in HS and was accused of the first 4 statements by my principle and coaches lol

[@wizzle-]

"All genders" sigh

[@AD45555]

"All genders" yea all 2

[@BackPorchMods]

"all genders" 🧐🧐🧐

I'm not sure about this, but they look like surgeons. Why would surgeons give advice on supplements !? They are wearing their doctor/surgeon uniform on purpose for a reason 🤔 They are probably trying to convince people to use creatine so you get screwed up and end up at their operating table 😮‍💨. They are literally saying the opposite of what the side effects cause. I have looked up creatine, and all I can say is that it's not a natural product. I have never seen doctors promote vegetables or anything that keeps you healthy, I wonder why 🙄

[@davidmunoz8171]

Bro kept count of how many questions were asked. What a legend!

[@CasanovaFluff]

Higher resting creatine levels have also shown to have benefits for brain function and memory retention. It’s not just for people who lift weights.

[@gamingchannels6348]

Best sales man ever 😂

[@User-je8ds]

Yes, creatine does cause water retention.

Wish i could go back 12 years to high school and show this to my schools athletic director that was convinced creatine was a steroid. Hell he considerd whey protien powder a steroid too lol

[@funcool32]

I have been taking creatine for 25yrs on and off. The last 6 months i have not cycled off and coincidentally haven't had any injuries in this time, lifting more than I've lifted all throughout my 40s. I'm 48 and feel the strongest I've felt in 10yrs. I have nothing bad to say about it!

[@BipolarBilly52]

Absence of studies does not imply lack of symptoms. Creatine and hair loss has never had an official study, and there are thousands of anecdotes saying it caused thinning. Being a doctor doesn't give you an "I'm always right" stamp

[@manuelochoa9266]

I knew this back in 1995 when creatine monohydrate came out in the market and was sold as a supplement in stores. I think it is one of the safest and more effective supplements for bodybuilding. I took it for 12 years until i stopped working out. I still take it again once i start working out again.

[@bigwon5883]

I like these guys. Straight to the point.

Plot twist, he's a creatine salesperson
