i got these creatine supplement capsule...can i open the capsule and pour the powder in food? is that harmful?

[@ocaraevil]

why answer this kind of dumb questions? i almost block this channel(and i like the channel) because this dumb video was always on the recommended. questions like this other one 'above' " asantewaakissi2650 i got these creatine supplement capsule...can i open the capsule and pour the powder in food? is that harmful? " doesn't need to be answered , it is a waste of time just to read it.

[@shoxiang8307]

Powder deserves to be preferred over pills for just one reason: cost-effectiveness.

[@ZiggyGood]

I’ve been seeing that the pills are cheaper tho?

[@dr.bendover-md]

Pills are a more practical option though.

[@tochukwugaimboyufondu4336]

Powder is more expensive in my country

[@cooking_bakingg]

Pills are like 2x cheaper per gram of creatine

[@colinmusgrave]

i found 120 capsules for 25 and its 45 for 100 servings poder

[@travv88]

I find pills easier to regularly take than powders I have to mix into a drink which I won't always do. I will always have a drink with which I can take pills, I won't always make a drink with certain powders.

[@christianocampo5093]

how many pills do you take during the loading phase and after

[@Warcry54]

just dry scoop your creatine, easy

Can you blend the creatine tablets to use in a protein shake?

[@HassanPoyo]

Yeah why not

[@dr.bendover-md]

You definitely can. There’s no such a blender that could compromise the structural integrity of creatine molecules.

[@villetalback4329]

yes, but if its gonna be in a shake powder is more efficient

[@EldergodUK]

I prefer pills....so I can pop my creatine conveniently and discreetly 😏

[@anteep4900]

2:30 ok but who is taking creatine powder in the gym lmao?

[@cjjohnson556]

So how would you loading phase with the pills ?

[@snailcage]

If you’re losing weight and calculating your BMR using the standard equations that use weight and age and gender and whatnot, do you treat the water weight gain from creatine the same as your normal weight? For some reason in my head I have the idea that entering that number would give you more calories than you’re supposed to be eating since that number is now higher from added water, but I’m not sure if that’s correct. Hopefully this makes sense, but I guess my basic question is: If you gain 5 pounds using creatine, and then calculate your BMR using that new weight (previous weight + 5 pounds), can you use the BMR that those numbers give you as a baseline to determine deficit/surplus? Or do you have to account for that extra weight being water or something?

[@Sefln21]

Body is moslty water your are not calculating for dry mass

[@notashton.]

[@marcelprasetyo9548]

How about the bloating side effect, is it found equally between pills and powder?

[@MyproteinOfficial]

We can ask the question to the Nutritionist

[@nottrick4245]

There isnt a blating side effect

[@GurneroMaelstrom]

If you're bloating with just creatine then you're doing something wrong with your diet. Creatine doesn't bloat you

[@ferhatbaba6895]

I’ve just bought capsules . They are 500mg capsules , how many capsules should I take a day and what times ?

[@aetherblackbolt1301]

The typical recommended daily dose for creating monohydrate is 5 grams (5000mg) to max out the dose (and there's no side effects). Depending on Bodyweight you might get away with 3 grams, but creatine is so cheap that it's not really worth skimping 2 grams. So 500mg tablets would warrant 10 tablets a day, so you might want to split it up across the day. I was lucky to find 3000mg tablets, so I just have 2 in the morning.

[@lukaabojanic]

Hi, do you have shop in Serbia I really want to buy your supplements but I don’t want to pay in euros because it is expensive.

[@msmith1821]

You did not mentioned soft gel pills. I did not think that Creatine could be in soft Gels? I thought they were only in powder.

[@cee8876]

I read that the loading phase is not necessary. And i heard of a 1 week loading phase but 2 weeks is new to me.

Hi.. i am doing the coffee lemon every morning and it really made me loose weight fast, is it ok to drink lemon coffee every morning then take creatine before going to gym..? Is it ok to take creatine and coffee lemon separately ? Does lemon coffee can defy the effect of creatine in making my muscles bigger ? Or do i have to take it in a specific order? Thank you so much!

[@elongatedmuskrat287]

Lemons do not provide any scientific fat burning qualities. The only benefit they add is vitamin C, while the coffee helps you feel fuller by filling your stomach. Creatine would not be affected by any of this, and you can take creatine any time of day as long as you are fully saturated and take it consistent every day. Hope this helps!

[@CNBMA91C]

what is the load dose and what is the maintenance dose? how long should you do a load dose for?

[@John_manford_bodybuilding]

Loading phase is 20 grams daily for 5-7 days. Maintenance phase is 1 scoop a day or 2-10 grams. And I dose usually for 6-8 weeks with a pause at the end for 2-4 weeks. Hope this helps.

[@ryantomos548]

The loading phase has been debunked by more modern research. Daily dose depends but should be between 2-10 grams
