Thread: creatine info

Creatine usually adds a certain degree of water weight, however, it provides other important functions. When you ingest creatine it enters the muscle cell and helps produce more ATP when you're training - this can translate to an extra rep or two at the end of a set which can promote further muscle growth. Creatine isn't a magic bullet but it's a great supplement with a lot of scientific studies to illustrate its effectiveness. I often use 5 grams before and after a workout. I don't take it everyday though.

So then there is some truth to the idea that if you go off creatine, you'll lose some of the mass it has helped you build?
