A general thread where people can post about research, effects, and stories about creatine and creatine use. Post creatine stashes or something idk.
Stop making creatine threads I'm fucking sick of it.

It makes you bald

>>76299926
greentext?

uhm bros, does this actually make you bald? I'm scared.

>>76299919 (OP)
This - AGAIN.
It's a no brainer - take it.
5mg a day - any more and you piss it out/ explosive diarrhea.
All it does is transform ADP back in to ATP after the muscle has used it as fuel and allow it to be used again.

>>76299942
>It makes you bald

>>76300907
No, it doesn't.
If your hair follicles are sensitive to testosterone then they will fall out anyway.
Heavy lifting will boost your T levels - aided by creatine.
IT doesn't cause this. This is your own fucked-up genes.

If you're worried, don't do anything that makes you manly.

top fucking kek

30 years old and I have the same hairline as when I was 20
there's no reason to not take creatine

>>76300895
What if you miss a few days

>>76299919 (OP)
It's easy. you just take it. literally only benefits.

>>76301767
>tell me you’ve never used creatine without telling me.

You stupid faggot. It’s by far and unequivocally the single best substance outside of actual anabolics that you can use. It LITERALLY makes you stronger and LITERALLY increases your endurance. God, I hate you summer zoomer faggots so fucking much

>>76300921
But it accelerates the process, which you don't want if you have the genetic predisposition/are already thinning.

>>76301783
you unalive, it's worse than fent withdrawal.

>>76302041
>it LITERALLY makes you stronger and LITERALLY increases your endurance
yeah by a fraction of a fraction of a percentage so small it's not even statistically significant. I'm glad you've placebo-d yourself into a miracle cure though, good for you!

I think it’s helped with recovery as a 35yo boomer. but i have gotten the squirts more often than i used to. idk if that’s related however

>>76302423
>but i have gotten the squirts
???

>>76302453
explosive watery shits

>>76299919 (OP)
last time I did a cycle of creatine I began grinding my teeth during the day.
The problem is that I don't know if I was grinding because of creatine or because of a very stressful situation I was in.
What should I do guys? Should I try again?

>>76302041
>plebbit space a la projection
kek

>>76302339
It turns 6 reps into 8 reps. That’s insignificant for you? Just means you’re laughably weak

is it worth taking if all I do is road/mountain biking?

>>76303196
25% =/= 0.01%
I'm glad you've placebo-d yourself into a miracle cure though! Good for you!

I used to sell creatine as coke when I was out of coke

>>76301783
No biggie - just continue like before.

>>76302322
lol

>>76302054
Semantics.
Doing weights, especially the big moves; squats, bench press increases your natural level of testosterone.
It's people's sensitivity to testosterone which does this - not the creatine.
I'm old as fuck, work out 5 days a week and take creatine every day. I still have a full head of (silver) hair.

Sounds like a you problem.

>>76303297
Not just this - it helps with muscle pain, DOMS, and recovery also - especially if you're older.
There are other effects too - clarity of thought and a little water retention.

Don't like it, don't take it. Simple.

>>76303297
it's actually around 0.05% increase in performance only after 6 days.
muscle mass increase is 7.1% for upper limbs, 3.2% for lower limbs, 2.1% for trunks after 56 days.
it's cheap and has no side effects.

yes these are much lower than PEDs but you also won't kill yourself with it.

>>76303285
Yes, always - whatever sport you practice.
More explosive force, better stamina, faster recovery...

>>76300921
But maybe creatine makes the hair follicle more sensitive to testosterone via some mechanism, such as changing DNA methylation status affecting hair loss genes.

Creatinge LITERALLY increases DHT. Which is what makes you go bald. That being said you could maybe take Pygeum to offset the DHT affects (since that inhibits DHT).

>>76304872
>Semantics.
It's not semantics idiot. It actually increases increases DHT. It's basically a reverse fin. If fin slows down your hairloss, is that semantics too?
>I'm old as fuck, work out 5 days a week and take creatine every day. I still have a full head of (silver) hair.
You think like a woman. Keep taking the creatine. You need the DHT boost.

>>76299919 (OP)

your dick will fly off

wrong dumbass

You seem upset - baldy xx

>You think like a woman. Keep taking the creatine. You need the DHT boost.

Yes - I have no problem with this fact. I'd bet I mog you anyway.
I have hair AND erections.
Life is sweet.

Well it doesn't go towards anything useful.

>As with many supplements or medications, excessive doses of creatine may cause digestive issues. In a 2008 study , a 5-g dose taken twice daily caused diarrhea in 29% of participants, which was not significantly different from the placebo. However, a 10-g dose taken once daily increased diarrhea risk by 56%.

But knock yourself out - take a shedload, shit your pants .

How do I get the brain and mood enhancing 10-30g dose if 5g+ makes me shit water :(

>>76306344
>How do I get the brain and mood enhancing 10-30g dose if 5g+ makes me shit water :(

Maybe you really like wearing a shitty diaper?

Is there an optimal way to take it? All I ever see is people mixing it with a small glass of water

>>76306312
Imagine getting btfo this hard and posting dumb shit like this. Why even respond honestly?

>>76299919 (OP)
Any non-steroid supplements that are kino/baseline good to take besides creatine? All I have is creatine and fish oils, thinking about BCAAs and L-arginine... maybe others?

>>76306515

OK baldy - show us your hair then - or body.
