I would love to know where you get your research from, creatine has been more than proven that it DOES work and that there is also NO evidence for it injuring your kidneys unless you already have problems with your kidneys.
It can make your kidneys work harder if you follow the "loading" phase because your body can only absorb so much, so the rest passes through your digestive tract.
It is wrong of you to dissuade someone from using a supplement when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about other than the fact that your son is apparently a state champion weight lifter.
And to the kid who asked the question, consult a professional (doctor/personal trainer) do not come on here and ask for this sort of advice because you end up with people thinking they know what they are talking about replying to you.
And with regards to answering the question it doesnt matter too much "when" you take creatine, as it is stored in your muscles anyway, it is not a short-term storage
Creatine is generally recommended for individuals aged 18 and older, as this is when most people's bodies have fully developed the ability to handle supplementation effectively. While some studies suggest it may be safe for younger athletes, it's important for teenagers to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation. Proper nutrition and training should be prioritized for younger individuals before considering creatine.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after taking creatine before drinking coffee. This allows the creatine to be absorbed properly without any interference from caffeine.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 2-3 hours after taking creatine before consuming alcohol to allow your body to process the creatine effectively.
Before purchasing a creatine product, look for information on the label such as the type of creatine used, dosage instructions, purity level, and any additional ingredients or additives. It is important to ensure that the product meets your specific needs and preferences.
It is generally recommended to take creatine for 8-12 weeks before considering taking a break to allow your body to reset and prevent potential side effects.
Yes, you can take 2 pill's of Kre-Alkalyn before you start you're work out but it will not bring you best results. The reason why you should drink 1 before workout and 1 after is that Kre-Alkalyn is 15 times stronger than regular creatine which means 1 pill is enough to keep the body well supplied during training and the other after training is to replenish the creatine that was used by you're body during exercise so that you creatine levels are constant after workout which will result in better muscle growth.
No, the reason ppl take creatine is because they sometimes test your creatine level as a control. So if you are planning on diluting your urine by drinking a lot of water, you should take creatine for at least 3 days before hand to make sure your levels are normal after dilution.AnswerI agree with its point of view. creatine wouldn't mask marijuana's composition.
No, fasting is not required for testing Creatine Kinase levels. However, certain activities such as vigorous exercise should be avoided before the test as they can temporarily elevate CK levels.
Pre-loading creatine before a workout can increase muscle creatine stores, leading to improved strength, power, and muscle gains. It may also enhance exercise performance and recovery.
It is generally recommended to take a break from using creatine after 8-12 weeks of continuous usage to allow your body to reset and prevent potential side effects.
You pronounce "creatine" as "kree-eh-teen." It is a nitrogenous organic acid that supplies energy to all of the cells in a vertebrate. Bodybuilders often use creatine supplements before workouts.
Your system should clear ativan by about the 3rd day of sobriety. To be safer, you can take creatine phosphate (found in any vitamin store) an hour before the test and drink alot of water. The water will dilute the drug concentration but the creatine level will be normal, so they will be unable to detect the dilution.
