We hear Patrick Stewart is
thinking about going where some men have gone before: the creatine route. Judging from this shot from 'Star Trek: Insurrection,' he's burly enough without muscle-building supplement.

Is chrome-domed British actor Patrick Stewart trying to bulk up with a designer dietary supplement?

Lowdown hears that the 65-year-old Stewart, best known for "X-Men" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," has been seeing a personal trainer and consulting his doctor about taking creatine.
That's the flavorless, white-powdered steroid alternative, made synthetically from amino acids, that's supposed to boost energy and build muscle.
But be very careful, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard: Creatine's potential side effects include kidney disorders, muscle tears, dehydration, diarrhea and cramping. Plus, although legal, the supplement remains controversial, as when St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire had to defend his use of it when he shattered Roger Maris' single-season home run record in 1998.
"We in the medical world are averse to recommending medical supplements when we don't have hard evidence saying there are no ill effects," says Robert Gotlin, director of orthopedic and sports rehabilitation at Beth Israel Medical Center. "The issue of kidney stones, we think, is related to it. People who use it get stomach complaints. My advice is, don't take it."
Yesterday, Stewart's spokeswoman insisted from London: "I spoke to Patrick. He is categorically not taking creatine or any other supplements." Fine and dandy, Capt. Picard, but please, don't even consider it.

No doubt about it! I think he's in better shape than most guys in their 20's.

false teeth don't look or seem any worse that false tits.

The "haha" in the title was really meant to his trainer.

**Little Wing** · 02-05-2006, 11:59 AM

i thought so. i don't know about creatine but suspected the laugh was at the advice he got. it seems very popular.

They make creatine sound like steroids!

**DOMS** · 02-05-2006, 01:57 PM

That's why they're going to try to regulate it.

The man is in great shape for 40, let alone 65

Creatine is a known toxin. It causes birth defects and cerebral cancer, even though it's produced naturally in your body.

There is nothing wrong with going clean.

Dehydration and cramping is about all creatine does for me..
