Does creatine really work?

Define work.

[Outkast]

yes and so does food

[Fyurion]

use it max for a month, then off for "atleast" a month, most health professionals will spend 2 months or 3 off of creatine before going onto another "cycle"

Using creatine will "work" but follow the directions on the packaging (ie taking it with juice or water) for best results... also doing the loading dose properly is important too...

If u were to ask why you do it in cycles? because u dont want your body to wake up and say hey i dont need to make as much or creatine at all now, so ill slow down/stop all together...

(btw im not a health professional, im just a low grade-no grade athlete with a bit of knowledge thats been passed onto me)

I definatly find creatine helps during/just after my cycles

make sure ur insulin is spiked when taking it, juice is appropriate, water not so much.

"CM is not perfect. It’s not very soluble, and in about 30% of users, does not appear to work at all".

I eat a lot of meat and it works for me.

Biltong has the highest Creatine levels per gram of all foods. Guess you need to like eating dried meats

I'm not sure what people expect to see out of creatine use. Any effect you get from it is going to be subtle, not something that makes you go "wow mad gains bruh!"

These days I barely see weight gain when I go on the stuff, and there's never any direct improvement in lifting numbers from it. I could just go "creatine doesn't work" based on that. But that ignores the fact that it does improve recovery times in and out of the gym. It's worth it to me just based on that factor alone, and that's an issue you really have to pay attention to your training to notice.

If you're expecting to put on 5kg of "quality lean mass" or whatever, then you're out of luck. That doesn't mean it isn't helping.
