Is creatine a meme? If not, when should one take it.

everyday

5g every single day for the rest of your life

>>41603165
Even on off days ? Sounds like a marketing scheme.

>>41603204
invest 1 minute to learn how this shit works and you will understand that 5g each day is the whey to go.

>>41603204
it's cheap as fuck you idiot

you need to use it daily so that you maintain your body's creatine stores so it works properly

>>41603150
It's largely unstudied. It helps you retain more water in the muscle, but at what cost?

le balding powder

Stopped taking creatine, till some new hair loss studies come out.
Hair gainz are more important for me than 1 extra rep

Does creatine bloat your face up some? As in, cause you to retain water in the face?

>>41603150
Unlike what this retard said >>41603324 it is very well researched and is one of the few bodybuilding supplements that actually works rather than just being an overpriced scam.

I wouldn't expect miracles on it, but it helps.

To give you an idea, I'm on gear and knocked it on the head, simply because compared to 600mg of test a week, it's like being on heroin and taking a few aspirin.

>>41603150
Creatine has no instant effect it has to build up in your system over weeks before it has any effect.

is there anything new on the "creatine increases hairloss" front lately? I have MPB and I want to use some creatine. I'm already on some DHT blockers so... thoughts?

>>41603150
from birth

So it's a mix between "there's no research on this supplement" and "It's the greatest thing ever". Sounds like snake oil to me fuck that.

>>41604099
there's tons of research on it, you stupid faggot. Learn to use a search engine

theres a lot of research on it being able to give you marginal more energy during a set (i.e. 6 rep set instead of 5)
5g/day is all you need, no loading. costs about 10$ for 500 servings
If you want to look more cut then cycle off it, the water retention isnt great for aesthetics

I know Zyzz didn't like it because even a little bit of bloat was bad, but then again he was sandnigger, took monstrous amounts of gear and died in a sauna before he was old enough to rent a car, so what did he know?

>>41603150
2 scoops after each meal. And 3 before a workout.

>>41603204
If you're having a one day break then yeah take it. If you're having a 2 day break don't take it on the second day. If you're having a 3 day break don't take it the 2nd but take it on the 3rd.

I've done this since I started 5 years ago.

>>41603496
It actually does increase DHT levels so yeah it can increase balding. I'm balding too & the more I notice it kicking in the less hair I see on my head. Beards looking mighty fine though.

Is it better to take 5 g a day forever or to cycle it?

>>41605755
You only need to cycle it if you want to drop the (honestly very minor) water weight for some reason
Otherwise you can just take 5g a day forever
