the amount of people that choose the loading phase over a normal scoop a day just goes to show that so many people should exercise patience like any other muscle...
Wow. Now that you said that i feel proud of myself for not doing loading phase. Not because it's better but because i feel like i am becoming a more patient person
Im coming off a long layoff from the gym and hopped back on the creatine. Im just taking my typical daily dose and already feeling side effects of my daily hydration or lack of hydration depending on how I do with drinking enough water. I already feel more full in my muscles as well. Why anybody would want to load and just be dehydrated and get headaches is beyond me. It’s definitley working even at just 5 mg a day.
Hey i bought my creatine yesterday and i pkan to do loading phase like 8 gram per day. So how many weeks will it take it get full muscle saturation with 8 g daily
8 g per day is a lot for your kidneys and gut. 5 gr is already too much. Remember muscles could get bigger and smaller up to time but you only have just two kidneys. The damage could be irreversible.
@@User_ML907 creatine isnt even that good anyways. Taurine, ashwagandha, boron, shilajit etc. are much better and have real health benefits. Creatine just bumps up DHT and ATP production. If you use creatine dose low and rely on other supps.
@@sharxtheguy1383 Did you know that placebo drugs have been clinically shown to IMPROVE performance? Look at any studies where they have a control group, placebo group, and test group. The placebo group usually outperform the control group.
take with a carbohydrate as well. Insulin acts as a carrier for creatine in to muscle cells so a spike in insulin when you take your creatine will also increase intake into the muscle cells
been on creatine for months now, drastic change once it hits in. Im now used to my strength and pump, but hey it works like hell. definitely recommend creatine.
In France and in Europe you can find a buffered creatine, which means that it does not turn into creatinine (toxic for the human body) when in contact with stomach fluids. It does not require a "loading" phase, it is available very quickly and has an excellent solubility. It has been used for several years. It seems that after the video and according to the comments nobody knows this buffered creatine.
cuz it’s bullshit lmaoo, u been tricked by marketing/advertising, creatine monohydrate is the most researched, safe, and effective product. ur wasting ur money
The Creatine I am talking about is also Creatine Monohydrate but "buffered creatine "in France or in Europe you cannot put a food supplement on sale with false slogans. It is very controlled. The product is patented.
Well u probably want to take it every 24hours so he says choose a time ie 9am, and then take it at 9 everyday. Alternatively u could take it at 6pm but then stick to 6pm to allow for 24hours. Hope this explanation helps
For the loading stage another side effect is the potential increase in liver activity so you may need to take a break sooner than taking it at lower doses daily
I did the same thing last week. I was ass pissing for three days. Now that my stomachs have recovered, I'll probably take 5g a day with meals sincerely hoping I don't get the shits anymore.

You need to drink loads of water when you supplement with creatine that's why many people have discomfort with their stomach they don't drink enough water!
@@SpiderVenom12905 normal person needs +2-3 liters, if you do 5g/day creatine easily 4-5l. You NEED WATER, if you drank a cup you need to drink 2 because of creatine.
I tried doing the loading phase. I nearly blacked out from a constipation and Im not kidding. Literally my vision went from clear, black, to blue, holding my guts from pain 😢
try using 5g per day or 10g loading phase should be ok..read the instruction too before consume it or ask a doctor about body condition to consume the amount of creatine
Been taking it like 4x a day😂 instructions say to do that for loading but I think my left kidney pain is telling me to chill. So taking vitamin C isn't helping💀
Love all your videos man! You have helped me transform my body from an out of shape 205 pound man to a leaner in shape 183 pound animal baby! 😂 keep up the great work! 💪🏻
if taken 5gm/daily saturates in 3-4 weeks, then why csnt we take a break off for 4 weeks till creatine backs to normal and then again start the cycle? I am a newbie so if anyone cares to explain me this Insights: 1) One of the influencer was taking creatine since 1 year and his creatinine level came out to be above upper limit and then he took 1 month off then it was indeed high but within the range. 2) Through the Podcast of beer biceps with trainer of Indian Cricket Team and trainer of some muscular Bollywood actors. One of them recommend to cycle for 1month on- 1 month off and other recommend for 2 month on-1month off.
You can cycle every 6 month than rest one month or one year one and one month off. 2 month on 1 month off also good approach. This cycle help to get max from creatine and feel the supplements work it.
Great vid, find it very helpful to send these to ppl im tryin to help on their fitness journey without inundating them with 20min guides like I had to go through
the answer is not, you should use your creatine and go for a workout. I did bought a creatine monohydrate from MyProtien's Product and it says " Get more from yout workout" So basically if you didn't go to gym or workout but still consuming a creatine which is useless. Hope this clear for you :) Enjoy the process
I take 5g every day. I thought it only takes 3 days to saturate your muscles though. Good to know it's actually 2-3 weeks! If I miss a day I notice that I will lose a lot of liquid (have to pee a lot) 😆
@@fraaxpridedoesn't matter. Its not vitamin that is used in a day and then missed the next day. It literally stature your muscle tissue with creatine, like soaking wet towel, hence "start working in 2-3 weeks" point. Once you sature the muscles you can even skip few days and still retain the benefits. Why people say do pre workout or in the morning or before going to bed etc. is for easy reminder = you always do A so then also do X.

@@Lakers7777 obviously it does. I think you are misinformed. Weightlifting temporarily raises blood pressure. Creatine was unnaturally raising my blood pressure. I went from 139/107 when I was taking it, to now 120/70 since I’ve been off of it. Everybody’s body isn’t the same.
@@ayeguyo9295 Maybe it wasn't creatine? Maybe a greater salt intake? I've had some changes with my bp also, went from 130/80 to 110/60. But I still don't know what did that
Been working out most of my life. I never took creatine before. I just finished my first week doing the loading phase and I was surprised because I didn't get any of the negative bloating or stomach discomfort
Obviously everyone is different but I only a take a 2.5 gram capsule right before I work out with a cup of water. This has seemed to build up my muscles and reduce recovery time. I think less can definitely be more in some cases and it’s good to not over work your liver. 👍
Is it true that combining creatine with caffeine (ie in preworkout) renders it useless? My pwo has it in already but I started taking extra on its own after the workout in my protein shake just in case
Actually it’s ok to miss a day or two of creatine as saturation means it’s constantly present in the muscles and each day you just top it up. It actually takes up to two weeks for your muscles to lose saturation
A small tip for anyone. If splitting it up throughout the day, it mixes really well with hot coffee. Dissolves immediately and doesn't alter the taste. However I'm only taking 5g with one cup of coffee, so make sure to get the rest in somewhere.
2nd day using it. I’ll prbbly start feeling the effects next week. Today was leg day and absolutely hated it. Good ass workout but felt like shit afterwards lol but prbbly just cuz I hate leg day
I used very very small amount cuz I was tierd we was gonna have tuff excise boxing now I’m high asf I did small scoop small amount off water why am high 😂
I started loading phase with 5 grams , and I felt an immediate burst in energy, I felt so good, and started to have live dreams while sleeping but on the third night I was having nightmares and difficulty falling and staying asleep. So I had to reduce the dose to half and only take it 4 days per week. So far I am still having big energy, best cognitive mind and no nightmares 😊
I just started yesterday with 5g and I'm going to stay at 5g per day. Becarefull to be sure that if you toke a cafe or thé before, be sure the caféine is out because I experimented a anxiety and I toke the the it 2 hours before and still have the caféine going on haha !
Bro tell me about it, I take some at around 12 or 1 am and am at the gym going strong for 4 hrs straight, I start with an elliptical for heart rate of 180-200 and sheesh for 30 mins it's killer, literally💀 and I still can't sleep untill 2 pm😂
my first tune ever on creatine and I Take 30g a day no stomach discomfort whatsoever but it helps me drink alot more water and pee more often (pee clear) . felt results start by the 5th day . after loading phase of 7 days I'll start lowering my daily dose to 15g a day .
They always leave out most important fact, STEP 4. Creatine only works for heavy compound lifts at or over 85% of your 1-rep max, or for doing actual sprint exercises. All studies show there is no benefit to taking creatine for elbow or knee flexion exercises. In plain English, creatine does nothing for bicep curls, tricep extensions, calf raises and leg machines. Sorry kids. All the influencers never actually read the studies. Creatine works - for people who train properly. If you are not squatting, benching, deadlifting or doing other barbell or heavy dumbbell work near your max; or not doing real sprint work - YOU WILL GET NO EXERCISE BENEFITS from creatine. Every guy in the gym takes creatine, most guys aren't swole or jacked. It isn't that the creatine isn't working, it is the gym bro is not lifting properly to get the benefits.
@@jacobdaley3888 only if you workout properly. Buried in all the studies, or at least glossed over by the advocates, is that it only works if you are pushing yourself near maxes. If you can do 6-8-10-12 reps of a lift a certain weight, you are not using creatine. Most gym bros don't train at with reps heavy enough to get gains from taking creatine.
Just Stop this Fuckin Nonsense. You keep Loose your Hair bcz of Your Body Not Creatine. Creatine is nothing to do with your Hair unless it Increase the Brain function it results in Good Hair growth. Do consult a dermatologist for your Hair. It will keep Loose Wheather you take creatine or not.🤣.
Im back to creatine after a long gym layoff and just doing 5 mg a day. It’s been a week. I can tell it is definitley enough to do something. I would never try a loading phase. Hard enough to drink enough water in a day to satisfy my body at 5 mg. Cant imagine how much water id have to drink to not feel like shit all the time doing the “loading phase”
Loading isn't a good way as it might strain your kidneys, so better go with normal dosage like 3-5 grms. Be consistent and enjoy the process don't rush and strain your body
Follow recommened dose on bottle, 2.5-5 grams of creatine in water pre workout is what I do. After workout mix whey powder with water and drink for fast absorption.
mmm I'd say for timing, best before dinner hours so that you're properly hydrating rather than taking it late and then going to sleep and obviously not drinking while sleeping
I like taking it in the morning because it forces me to drink water throughout the day. I’m most dehydrated when I wake up so by taking it in the morning my mind is gonna be programmed to hydrate all day.
Check Renaissance periodization creatine videos. Creatine is not a steroid or peptide. No bad side effects, people who say kidney issues are mixing creatinine (completely different thing). The only side effect is stomach discomfort aka popping if you take creatine and don't drink enough water. If you had to choose protein powder or creatine, i would 10/10 go creatine.
@@noransajjad8165 just google "is creatine worth it reddit" or sth, even non lifters would benefit from the creatine and everyone who get benefits from it should honestly take it, its cheap, easy to consume, the only "negative" is need to drink more water and stomach discomfort if you're not drinking enough (not pain). Taking creatine is still natty, its not gear/steroid level supplement and you wont see the results if you expect to look like pro bodybuilder, anyone who say creatine give massive results are on placebo, its at best like 5-10% better recovery and keeping up with fatigue = could squeeze another 1-2 reps. if you compare it to steroids, basic TRT would give you like +200% more benefits. (numbers are random, just for example to show the difference)
Creatine helps your muscles hold more water, so you might see a bit of weight gain at first, but it’s mostly helping with muscle growth and performance. If you're looking to build strength and size, it’s a great add-on! Want more tips or a supplement suggestion? Let me know! DM me. Link in my BIO. 💪

I used very very small amount cuz I was tierd we was gonna have tuff excise boxing now I’m high asf I did small scoop small amount off water why am high 😂
You sure you took creatine and not pre-work out? 😂😂
Real bro i took 6 g in 100ml I'm high asf😂❤
I started loading phase with 5 grams , and I felt an immediate burst in energy, I felt so good, and started to have live dreams while sleeping but on the third night I was having nightmares and difficulty falling and staying asleep. So I had to reduce the dose to half and only take it 4 days per week. So far I am still having big energy, best cognitive mind and no nightmares 😊
Can confirm the stomach discomfort 😅😂
Drink more water regularly.
Informative
Step 4: DOUBLE CHIN
Wene do u take it, like in the morning? Before or after a work out?
what age is okay for taking creatine?
Safe at any age, it's just a supplement like protein powder
any age just you gotta be drinking a ton of water, you dont want to ruin your kidneys.
I HATE it when people are like just take it when it’s best for you?! Pre workout? Post workout?? I mean i dont fucking know

Underrated tip: don't dry scoop.
I always dry scoop creatine, no issues yet
I just started yesterday with 5g and I'm going to stay at 5g per day. Becarefull to be sure that if you toke a cafe or thé before, be sure the caféine is out because I experimented a anxiety and I toke the the it 2 hours before and still have the caféine going on haha !
Bro tell me about it, I take some at around 12 or 1 am and am at the gym going strong for 4 hrs straight, I start with an elliptical for heart rate of 180-200 and sheesh for 30 mins it's killer, literally💀 and I still can't sleep untill 2 pm😂
my first tune ever on creatine and I Take 30g a day no stomach discomfort whatsoever but it helps me drink alot more water and pee more often (pee clear) . felt results start by the 5th day . after loading phase of 7 days I'll start lowering my daily dose to 15g a day .
how much water do you drink a day?
They always leave out most important fact, STEP 4. Creatine only works for heavy compound lifts at or over 85% of your 1-rep max, or for doing actual sprint exercises. All studies show there is no benefit to taking creatine for elbow or knee flexion exercises. In plain English, creatine does nothing for bicep curls, tricep extensions, calf raises and leg machines. Sorry kids. All the influencers never actually read the studies. Creatine works - for people who train properly. If you are not squatting, benching, deadlifting or doing other barbell or heavy dumbbell work near your max; or not doing real sprint work - YOU WILL GET NO EXERCISE BENEFITS from creatine. Every guy in the gym takes creatine, most guys aren't swole or jacked. It isn't that the creatine isn't working, it is the gym bro is not lifting properly to get the benefits.
doesnt creatine help you build muscle quicker though?
@@jacobdaley3888 only if you workout properly. Buried in all the studies, or at least glossed over by the advocates, is that it only works if you are pushing yourself near maxes. If you can do 6-8-10-12 reps of a lift a certain weight, you are not using creatine. Most gym bros don't train at with reps heavy enough to get gains from taking creatine.
Got my protein bottle today and it amazing.
In just one day you're noticing this?
Lol
Step one you loose all your hair on top of your head... like i did
Step two you throw this bullshit away and get great result without creatin
Just Stop this Fuckin Nonsense. You keep Loose your Hair bcz of Your Body Not Creatine. Creatine is nothing to do with your Hair unless it Increase the Brain function it results in Good Hair growth.
Do consult a dermatologist for your Hair. It will keep Loose Wheather you take creatine or not.🤣.
Lol IS that true ?
please make video creatine myth😊
Creatine shits never get old fellas
Im back to creatine after a long gym layoff and just doing 5 mg a day. It’s been a week. I can tell it is definitley enough to do something. I would never try a loading phase. Hard enough to drink enough water in a day to satisfy my body at 5 mg. Cant imagine how much water id have to drink to not feel like shit all the time doing the “loading phase”
How to avoid constipation during high protein diet and creatine intake brooo...your response will help me a lot...
I never believed in the loading phase
Minimum Age to take it?
Creatine really really works guys. !!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Loading isn't a good way as it might strain your kidneys, so better go with normal dosage like 3-5 grms.
Be consistent and enjoy the process don't rush and strain your body
Can we mix creatine in water before workout and then drink it after workout? Or should we only mix just before drinking it?
Follow recommened dose on bottle, 2.5-5 grams of creatine in water pre workout is what I do. After workout mix whey powder with water and drink for fast absorption.
mmm I'd say for timing, best before dinner hours so that you're properly hydrating rather than taking it late and then going to sleep and obviously not drinking while sleeping
Lo you bro!!!!
This guy looks like brother of Nick DiGiovanni😂
Age:-17

Should I Take It Ir Not Plzz Tell✌🏻
It's not good for fat loss.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro we have to take creatine before workout or after workout?
Before is ideal I think
I always take it 1 hr before workout with water.
I like taking it in the morning because it forces me to drink water throughout the day. I’m most dehydrated when I wake up so by taking it in the morning my mind is gonna be programmed to hydrate all day.
I am on a non sugar diet and I am taking fish oil suppliment tooo.can I also use creatine monohydrate?..
No. Use meth
New to working out and this might be a stupid question but umm
Do I just eat the creatine powder? 😅
Dont quote me but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter you can take it dry or with almost any drink
Put 2.5 - 5 grams of powder in water bottle, shake up and sip pre work out. That's what I do and no issues.
I thought I was the only one who scooped the powder directly into my mouth 😮
is it ok to use creatine if u want ur physique to be Natural?
Are there any side affects of taking creatine?
Pls reply
Check Renaissance periodization creatine videos. Creatine is not a steroid or peptide.
No bad side effects, people who say kidney issues are mixing creatinine (completely different thing). The only side effect is stomach discomfort aka popping if you take creatine and don't drink enough water. If you had to choose protein powder or creatine, i would 10/10 go creatine.
@@ChoJun69 ohh thank u bro
@@ChoJun69 ok so u will be natty if u r taking creatine right?
@@noransajjad8165 just google "is creatine worth it reddit" or sth, even non lifters would benefit from the creatine and everyone who get benefits from it should honestly take it, its cheap, easy to consume, the only "negative" is need to drink more water and stomach discomfort if you're not drinking enough (not pain).
Taking creatine is still natty, its not gear/steroid level supplement and you wont see the results if you expect to look like pro bodybuilder, anyone who say creatine give massive results are on placebo, its at best like 5-10% better recovery and keeping up with fatigue = could squeeze another 1-2 reps. if you compare it to steroids, basic TRT would give you like +200% more benefits. (numbers are random, just for example to show the difference)
@noransajjad8165 obviously.
is it ok to take creatine with protein powder? pls i need answers
Yes of course it is. You can take creatine with your Cheerios if you wish.
Do you have to drink your required amount of water based on your body weight before you take the creatine or afterwards? 😅
Does it need to be taking around the same time everyday or that doesn't matter?
Do you gain weight with creatine or adjuster muscles? I’m not sure what is the purpose of it
Creatine helps your muscles hold more water, so you might see a bit of weight gain at first, but it’s mostly helping with muscle growth and performance. If you're looking to build strength and size, it’s a great add-on! Want more tips or a supplement suggestion? Let me know! DM me. Link in my BIO. 💪
Should I take my creatine before workout or after workout or I can take my creatine at any time?
I did a loading phase, and had the most epic diarrhea, loading is not for the faint of heart🤣🤣
