[@Bible_Bro]

Loading phases just get creatine in your muscles faster like a week or so. Bc creatine draws water to your muscles making them bigger. They are definitely not necessary. I wouldn’t recommend doing it as it can have side affects like cramps and diarrhea if you don’t drink enough water.

I have a simple question , I'm trying to loose 10-15 pounds , I do a lot of cardio , and a lil bit of working out , can creatine help me loose weight , or will this stop me from loosing those 10-15 pounds

[@jimsuess8891]

No, like it said in the video, it will probably make you gain lbs due to increasing muscle size. I’d be less worried about your weight. If you want to lose fat, you should lift heavy weights very carefully for 6-10reps per set. Cardio doesn’t help burn fat as efficiently as lifting. This is something that I didn’t understand for many years.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask a question regarding the use of creatine. I am currently on antipsychotic medication (specifically olanzapinum - second generation antipsychotic) and was wondering if it is safe to use creatine as well. I am a bit anxious because previously I had used whey protein while on this medication and caught a bad case of serotonin syndrome (most probably because of the L-Tryptophan that whey contains) and was wondering if taking creatine could have a similar effect. Thank you for your time!
