Has anyone try taking creatine? Any benefits?

I'd like to know as well. I used to take it but never felt like it did anything.
FitnessBeyond your muscles temporarily retaining more water, it has been shown to have beneficial effects to one’s mentality state.

Helps with endurance, been putting on a lot of size after the loading phase
Fitness
Just started a few weeks ago - been noticing a nice difference in recovery time
Fitness
Yeah. Hardhainer here, and creatine is the only thing that’s ever allowed me to push through to new weight floors. Water weight goes away after you stop, but your new floor remains.

Get stolen af looking but it's mostly water retention. Still swole
Fitness
Long time ago. Makes your muscles swell. Doesn't necessarily improve strength.
Fitnessit's the most studied supplement. so much data on it. no need to look for anecdotes on this one.
Fitness
has a huge benefit to your energy levels during any exercise no side effects. it's great
Fitness
you will look bulky.. packs on the water weight

Been taking it for more than a decade. Most highly studied supplement behind caffine

Mostly increases your water retention which = you look more swole. There are also benefits if you take a week off from training, but you continue to take creatine you will notice your gains dwindle at a much slower rate. Look up the ATP - CP system as well to learn more about how our bodies utilize creatine.

I’ve experienced a huge boost in mobility with daily creatine intake & yoga practice. look up active flexibility creatine needs better PR for sure, there are so many benefits
Fitness
definitely feels like it's helped with volume / being capable of a greater number of reps for a given weight
Fitness
Started chewing some gummies a few months ago. Have felt like recovery time improved and less sore. Which is a plus for me. Haven’t noticed any severe side effects.
Fitness
Bcaas much better imo, creatine (in some cases) can cause fluid retention
Fitness
Took it for 6 months and didn't feel any difference
Fitness
There are only benefits. 0 reason to not take creatine

One of the most researched supplements on the market. Buy from a good source and you’ll be alright. Energy (ATP synthesis) is one benefit. You’ll also increase body water holdings in your muscles.
