The Only Way To Take Creatine To Maximize Muscle Growth

[@drujornbrink]

Haven't been here in a while, nice to see uncle Jonni still going strong!!

[@jacksampsonforever]

Jonni, I'm a decade older than you. Using 5 grams a day has made a STARK improvement in my memory/mental processing.

[@arthasis1337]

I’m two decades younger than you then and I also noticed a significant memory improvement. The neurological benefits are 100% real

[@Sisren86]

I can vouch for the mental benefits. I had used creatine for quite a while, and was wondering if the gain benefits were worth the money, so I went a few months without as an experiment. I started to notice that I was feeling just blah at work, but didn't put two and two together until I decided to add creatine back. Almost instantly, I'm feeling 'ready' for work each day again. Not in the way an energy drink works, but just more overall clarity and focus.

[@Fitat47]

Thank you Jonni. I appreciate your videos and updates. For many years I avoided Creatine because I believed the rumors. But now, even at 47, I am seeing increasing results physically and mentally.

[@nocturnomedieval]

Forgot to mention there is 20-25% people non-respondent to creatine. The theory is they extract it better from meat and food containing it or with colagen and build all up from there so no need for them to take it as supplement

[@clownshoe69]

How would you knoa if its affective or not?

[@kerwinmarks5257]

@@clownshoe69I believe bloodwork should tell if it’s being digested by the body

[@waynemarks]

Great video Jonni, always bringing knowledge to the community! 👊🏽

[@marcosdelvalle8314]

Newbie gains and muscle memorie gains are the best

[@frobro2250]

Thank you Jonni my mom is currently in the hospital her creatine is so low that it's killing her. This video is very easy to understand thank you!

[@bradmeyer8047]

Creatine or creatinine. Different measured

[@deviniusmaximus2131]

I bought a year's worth of C4 from Costco. In Canadian $$ it was $36 marked down to $20, had to!

[@geraldfriend256]

Jonni dead right about creatine monohydrate being the one. I put creatine hcl as a distant second if monohydrate doesn’t agree with you. All other forms aren’t worth the experiment , expensive and bs.

[@bryanfelicianos]

Does taking caffeine oppose the effects of creatine?

[@bradfordmcdermott2063]

Great vid Jonni

[@tederickjames4707]

Hey Jonni, could u please explain the benefits of taking HMB. I've been taking HMB with Creatine for years, and I've always noticed more gains with it.

[@stevesmith7352]

Is creatine hydrochloride just as effective as monohydrate? I like the tartness hydrochloride gives my pre-workout drinks.

[@therealjacknewtown8122]

Yes. It is. I use Con-Crete creatinine brand

[@not2old4watts]

Is it safe for someone who has borderline CKD?

[@JonniShreve]

This is something I would definitely talk to your nephrologist about to make sure they clear creatine use, as it can affect already damaged kidneys. But generally should be safe at a lower dose 3mg

[@CycoWarriorx]

Wait… What about Creatine HCI???

[@devinhornberger76]

Jonni what's best creatine or creatine monohydrate ??

[@Yoshi-wo1do]

I think the reason creatin get's wrongfully associated with liver and kidney damage is that creatinin (note the similar names, but they are different tho) which is dangerous to your kidneys and liver, but has nothing to do with creatin but is produced in low doses by your muscles (usually low enopugh that it won't be an issue unless you have excessive amounts of muscle like when on steroids, at whicch point the slightly elevated dose of creatinin is not you main health risk)

[@williammolina9792]

Been on creatine for 5 weeks, starting to have hair lost...

[@Luke-bz2td]

No link between creatine use and hair loss.

[@joe80ss]

What else you taking?

[@onlyhuman3]

Sorry for you. Won't happen to anyone else though, as this was going to happen to you no matter if you took creatine or not.

[@excalibro8365]

probably balding already but you've just noticed it now because of paranoia

[@hirotakasugi4891]

I take it with my morning whey protein drink.

[@nessa0808]

I work out first thing in the morning. I usually have a cup of coffee right upon waking. I have heard people say that caffeine will negate the effects of creatine. Is this true? I would love to take it right before working out but want to be able to utilize it. So I guess my question is, does it matter when you take it? When is it most effective? Does caffeine cancel it out? Thanks for the info Jonni ✌️

[@therealjacknewtown8122]

I drank Coffee and Creatine and no issues. Just drink a little more water

[@nessa0808]

@therealjacknewtown8122 appreciate the feedback man. 🙂

[@sdavidhicks]

I find creatine hydrochloride more convenient to use, because you need to take less than with monohydrate. I do use both. As far as I've seen from my research, there's nothing out there that indicates that hydrochloride is any LESS effective than monohydrate.

[@musclesmurf8528]

Only if you want to weigh absorption or ease availability as better, other wise same shit. Definitely use it.

[@TwoSeasons3396]

Does it increase blood pressure?

[@Dontatmebr0]

Creapure only

[@summersalix]

Kre alkalyn is buffered so it is supposed to absorb better w less side effects and with less grams needed for the same effect as mono. Do u think it has merits over mono?

[@Jeezy26]

Hey Jonni, quick question, I've read you shouldn't take creatine with prewokout becasue the pre-workout counteracts the creatine, is that true? If so how far apart should I take them both?

[@Martin-dg7ok]

I've been taking it after my workout for 12 months and the other day I had a really good session where I went up on every lift and I couldn't work out what was different, I felt so good. Next few gym sessions I couldn't match the weight, then I remembered that I think I took my creatine before that good workout so I tried it again last week and had the same effect. I'm going to switch to taking it before all the time and see what happens. It makes me so thursty during the workout I'll drink 2 bottles of water

[@t-nutz3370]

Rick the sticks video on creating intake especially the gram amount disagrees with your statements based on newer research

[@SKG4454]

Hair thinning on creatine is real. Creatine is great but I’m 32 and don’t want to lose my hair

[@raymondhira2723]

Only if you have the genetic predisposition to lose hair anyway, with or without creatine

[@onlyhuman3]

No it isn't. You're just falling into the rumours.

[@maxdamagusbroski]

You had to be selling it to be this positive about it. But all facts.

[@josephrigley8974]

Tbh there's no real downsides other than having to spend money on it and having to remember to take it. It's not magic it just gives you abit more energy to do your workout.
