A couple of questions if that's ok: 1. so drinking a cup of coffee a day won't affect creatine's effect, if not taken at the same time, correct? 2. how long shall we take creatine for hypertrophy?

[@1cathexis]

What SO many channels leave out when touting its benign properties is that it is NOT recommended by any credible medical source for anyone with Fatty-Liver disease in particular, and any kidney/liver impairment in general. Some channels I consider border-line deceptive as they tout creatine's benefits, but don't clarify the difference between its natural production and usage versus usage via supplementation - which is NOT a natural aquisition. Another way some channels are border-line deceptive (or just ignorant) is that they cite studies which say taking creatine does not CREATE harm, but do not also add that taking creatine supps if you ALREADY have liver-disease is not reccomended. The devil is in the details!

I tried creatine, took it for a month, didn´t get any effects from it. But i´m also a heavy coffee drinker, 4-5 cups per day. It never occurred to me that it could actually be why. Creatine binds water, while coffee is a diuretic. Makes sense that they would cancel each other out. Maybe i´ll try creatine again, but reduce the coffee this time.

[@donaldkasper8346]

Because of this pathway versus that pathway and therefore that, is not how biology actually works. Just because a pathway was found and more chemicals in the pathway are eaten, does not prove this boosts the pathway. The chemicals have to get through the gut into the bloodstream, then to the cells, and to the right pathway chemicals. That is a lot of what if's. I don't get bloated from creatine, it does not make me gain weight, and so caffeine as a diuretic does not likely inhibit creatine doing anything. Water in cells is not water in the blood is a problem for starters. It is where the water is that matters. It is not just dumbo water here, water there, blah, they cancel because some shallow thinker says so.

I noticed protein supplement powder in my coffee with soy milk makes me less hungry and drink just those two instead of coffee all day. Morning drink with 5g creatine, and several other amino acid supplements claimed to do something useful. Worth a try.

Severe muscle cramping. For what it’s worth, I’ve taken creatine monohydrate three times from different major suppliers. The first two times, I took 5g (no loading), but I had severe muscle cramps after a month or so. I researched more and could find very little info about creatine creating muscle cramping, only that it didn’t cause it. I also found that lower doses were often as effective, so I took 3g/day on my third try with another supplier. Same result. Severe muscle cramping, mostly in my legs, and I mean severe. Since creatine was supposed to be the most researched and "safe" supplement, I think that I’m done with supplements, especially since, if one was actually effective without negative side effects, you never know what’s going to be in the container next time.

Can I take preworkout aswell as creatine? Would I take the preworkout before training and creatine after? Any help would be appreciated!

[@nTnaTionaL]

since preworkouts are loaded in caffeine, it's reccomended to take creatine post work out and take preworkout before going to hit the weights. Creatine and caffeine is not a good combination to be taken at the same time, some of the side effects of it is that you'll have an upset stomach

Is it okay to be taking creatine as a 15-year-old (turning 16 in a couple weeks)? Also curious about how much I should be taking. (Which creatine ya'll using right now)

[@bruh5400]

Yuh

[@birddaddydetta]

I'd personally say you better wait for it. Get used to working out a bit and building the foundation of your strength. Later on you can always take creatine, but right now try to rock it as you are

Science here seems contradictory. You said 2g per day for 6 months showed no benefit in female swimmers, but later said 0.03g/kg of bw is a sufficient dose to get benefits. Now I’m assuming here but those female swimmers couldn’t have been more than 60kg, which is equivalent to 1.8g of creatine per day. Shouldn’t have they seen benefits?

[@Louis.slmn93]

maybe because swiming is more cardio than high intensity workout ?

[@northernlightsentertainmen7504]

I thought the exact same thing

[@CordeliaWagner1999]

Female swimmers are mostly pretty tall. Not as tall as William Lia Thomas, but toller than the average women. And very mascular. Sind muscles are pretty heavy and need way more nutrients than other tissue. I am not good at guessing heights and weights but a 6" female stimmen surely is more than 60 Kilo.

[@owenleong9722]

​@@CordeliaWagner1999even if they're at the range of 60-70kg, the maximum mass of creatine is still around 2g but the video stated that there was merely any results

[@dilshikista143]

I did not understand it very clearly. Should we take creatine before workout or before workout? If before workout then how man minutes bevor would we eat it. Thanks and sorry for my bad English 😊 hope u understand me what I mean. And after workout then should I take creatine and protein together????

[@arslaankhan45]

The thing that he says is that creatine doesn't have immediate effect so it didn't doesn't matter when you take it, just take it whenever but be consistent meaning take it at whichever time you like but take it everyday to see results

@@Saqibhafeez0 I'm not a professional but from what i have learned watching videos and other research, take 5 gms of creatine with luke warm water 500 ml( cause it gets dissolved easily) 4 times a day every 3 hours this will hopefully not make your tummy upset, will complete 20gms of creatine intake and 2 litres of water intake, drink some more water 1 and half liter of making it 3 and half litres of water per day, I'm doing basic excercise (push ups, crunches, walking and stretching, not counting the numbers of push up as it's my first day just doing as much as i can) 1 hr after taking 5gms of creatine 2 banana and 1 spoon of peanut butter.

[@joshuazatarain7967]

I’m new to working out but are you by chance focusing on light weight high rep Exercises? I think I watched a video that explained that you can build strength but not mass if you do high reps with low weight. You could also be at too steep of a calories deficit maybe?

Does "Taking creatine and caffeine separately" mean to leave some time in between them (if so, how much)? Or does it mean that if you take caffeine from pre-workouts or from coffee you can not take creatine at all? 🤔

what about just taking 10g for like 10 days as a loading phase and then going for 3g? not as harsh/wasteful? as 20g/day and not as slow as 3g a day, or am i missing something? I think i will start to give creatine a try in a few weeks

Doesnt really matter what time, as long as you take it daily. Find the time that suits you and stick with that :D

There is a study that say's taking creatine after the workout may be beneficial. But it was tested only with 3 individuals. If want take it.

No; you will be constipated. Creatine is a thief. It wants water big time.

yes but depends on some people. i am able to do it as i didnt feel anything bad happen the first day i did it nor the following days. if you do get an upset stomach split it to 2 x 10g if that still upsets the stomach 4 x 5g a day.
