No. Just the opposite, The caffeine in coffee is a diuretic, and that will make your body produce more urine.

On the contrary, caffeine increases blood pressure so if you suffer from low blood pressure caffeine in moderation can help you retain water over time and reduce dehydration.

Caffeine does not in itself cause water retention, it is a diuretic. It is perfectly possible to retain water however due to being dehydrated from drinking too many caffeine containing drinks and not enough water. Sounds counter-intuitive but not drinking enough water will make the body go into a dehydration mode where it tries to retain what it has.

Will creatine 189 make my child taller or shorter?

Would taking Creatine ruin your physique or make your muscles softer if it makes you retain water?

I am not a doctor but, I can share with you my experience with creatine. No, I don't think taking creatine would ruin your phsique. I recall taking creatine a while back as part of my workout routine when I wanted to have a nice build. It did make me look better, had more muscle, more solid..if you know what I mean. The human body is made up of mostly water so I think the water retention helps build your muscles too. Read up on creatine on the web.. Creatine helps the body recover quicker when working out. It is produced naturally in the body, but when supplimented it has an increased effect. Your muscles retain more water giving a bigger look to them. However, if your body fat levels are low, creatine can make muscles look less striated. I like creatine, because it takes away bloating from my stomach to other parts of my body. Unlike anabolic steroids, it does not require on/off cycles, but does require getting enough fluids daily to keep it being excreted in the urine.

Can creatine clean your system of THC?

Creatine does absolutely nothing to clean out your system. People use creatine for a drug test when they drink huge amounts of water to dilute their urine. However when you dilute, your creatine level drops to an abnormal state, and labs can detect this. People take creatine to make their creatine levels average when they dilute.


Is it bad to take caffeine with creatine?

Yes it is bad to take caffeine with creatine. Both caffeine and creatine dehydrate you so you will get really dehydrated. Even when on creatine alone you should drink a lot of water because creatine needs a lot of water to work and you will get dehydrated if you don't drink water when on it. Also caffeine will reduce the effectiveness of creatine.


Does six star professional strength creatine work?

Creatine powder does, but not creatine pills. Creatine powder works really well because you mix it with water and that water goes into your bloodstream, forcing the creatine into your muscles, opening up your musles and all that water weight going in to it. On the other hand, creatine pills doesen't work that well at all because it's harder and much longer to digest, and it's more dense.The reason it's a little more expensive than creatine powder because it's harder to make.

Do you take creatine with hot or cold water?

Most of the first studies done on creatine were with hot tea, which the warm water fully dissolved the creatine faster and more efficiently. Others believe cold water is fine since the creatine will be in the gut and will be warm enough to dissolve before digestion. IMO I would say mixing it with warm water (not hot) would be best, this way you get the creatine fully dissolved without denaturing the creatine with too hot of water.
