No that being said let me explain to you what it is creatine is naturally found in the human body has cell waste it along with Uria is filtered though the nephrons in your kidney and is voided out so how can something that is already found in your body be bad? We'll because the large amounts can strain your kidneys but if you cycle it every 6 weeks you should be fine as for it's muscle building benefits yes it does help build muscle but after you stop taking you will lose the water weight it stored in your muscle

∙ 11y agoN---------- I can't delete the entire answer. Okay. So cretin. It works best for high intensity repetitive -short duration work outs like jumping, lift, etc. Some studies show two things: using a loading does (20g/day divided 4 times per day for 5-7 day_ followed by 5-10 g/ day prior to the short duration/high intensity exercise for maintenance may help you own body use it more efficiently and fill your bodies creatine storage's. And secondly, some people are non responders and only their body naturally makes and it doesn't help at all to take extra cretin. Weight gain is a side effect and cold be possible alongside or instead of muscle building, every person is different. its the best/healthiest muscle building option. However it does have risks of kidney injuries if you take too much too long. so if you aren't seeing the results you want after a month or so I'd stop!

∙ 8y agoCreatine enhances stores of the high-energy compound creatine phosphate (CP) in muscles. Theoretically, the more creatine phosphate in muscles, the higher the intensity at which an athlete can train. High-intensity training stimulates the muscles to adapt, which, in turn, improves performance.
Creatine is a bad drug! Believe meThe results of some studies suggest that creatine supplementation does enhance performance of short-term, repetitive, high-intensity activity such as weight lifting or sprinting. In contrast, creatine supplemention has not been shown to benefit endurance activity.
