I still don't get it people fascination about creatine
Are they that much stupid and retarded?
It's literary useless piece of shit - according to some science studies that I read strength increase is 10% at BEST which is a laughable - besides that, many people also have ZERO strength increase from creatine
Not to mention risk of kindey damage to some people - my friend got cysts on kidneys from creatine consuption

Well apparently it’s one of the few supplements that has research showing measurable benefit.
You don’t need to supplement it if you eat enough red meat.
Probably not worth taking anyway, though.

From the abundance of research out there and anecdotal experience it does increase strength.
Its true that some people don't get any effect whats so ever from creatine. I have no doubt that a small amount of peoples kidneys or liver can't manage it.
For those that do get a positive effect from it though (the majoirity) -
A 10% increase is 10% increase and its a 10% increase of strength that would otherwise not be there - overload. I personally see creatine as a spotter there for the extra rep or added 2.5kg that you wouldn't other wise get.
An added bonus for me personally is aesthetically it pumps up the muscle.
Another bonus is that the pump is easier to achieve during training which feels great.
It adds more volume to my spunk for an impressivly larger load... which doesn't really improve life but is pretty primitivly satisfying.
Its also meant to be a nootropic and improves brain function.
Monohydrate is very cheap, is as good (and often proven to be better) as all the versions that keep appearing.
It far from being some super soldier serum but Its very cheap and has benefit for most people.

I dunno if research are real and practical use. I eat them anyway, mainly because Its damn cheap, like 20 cents per day (3-5 grams a day).
Even its useless for some because they are no responder, its still super extremely cheap... almost like drinking water. Just creatine added.
Another point, if its proved to be a little performance boost like 3 or 5 or 7 or even claime 10% increased, I don't see why hurts.

People who had kidney problems from creatine used to take stupid amounts of it. Like 4-5 gr. from some kind of lame ganer + 4-5 gr. from preworkout supplement + 1-2 scoops creatine. In total they take 15-20 gr. per day, which ofc leads to health problems. I don't see the point to take more than, as Altimis said, 3-5 gr. day.
Anyway I have like 2 lbs of creatine, but I forget to take it half of the time. Even if I take it every day honestly I am not noticing any strength or endurance boost, except bigger pump after workout.
