linebacker54 · 12-17-2006, 01:03 PM

i doubt it but have u seen any results?

Malley · 12-17-2006, 02:29 PM

If you didnt have any acne before and all of a sudden it popped up it maybe from creatine. How old are you?

kidbodybilder · 12-17-2006, 07:11 PM

15 and i had some be for but not this bad

Seanp156 · 12-17-2006, 07:19 PM

If you're 15, I doubt it's from the creatine... Never heard of that happening as a side effect... Plus, most would say at 15 you don't even really need it.

kidbodybilder · 12-17-2006, 07:28 PM

ya i no i got a whole post about people telling me not 2 take it and some telling me 2 so u dont think is from the creatine i thought that 2 but my mom made me put a post so cant disrespect her so i put up the post

I've studied the effects of creatine supplementation and I have never encountered a direct side effect of acne. It does pull more fluid in the muscle cells which could leave your body's resevoirs with a less amount of fluid and maybe your skin reacts to dehydration with acne? I doubt that is the truth but that is my only rationale on the subject.

but have you increased your daily water intake since you started creatine supplementation?

On a bottom line, you are 15. I'm assuming you are going through puberty and acne can be a common thing to experience in that time of your life.

kidbodybilder · 12-18-2006, 11:33 AM

Up to 3 gallons a day? I hope you are sweating alot because that could be grounds for screwing with your intracellular eloctrolyte levels.

Also, if your body is requiring up to 3 gallons of water repletion make sure you're ingesting enough sodium. That probaly isn't an issue though.

kidbodybilder · 12-18-2006, 03:01 PM

so i should drink less

juggernaut · 12-18-2006, 03:21 PM

or eat a can of tuna

gsxrK3 · 12-18-2006, 06:08 PM

I noticed scrambled eggs give me pimples. Maybe it's something you're eating.

juggernaut · 12-18-2006, 06:11 PM

if you are using mono, with a dextrose, its a very good likelihood that the sugar is possibly instigating the acne. I know when I used to eat sugary foods, I'd break out.
How old are you anyway?

I agree. If it is a flavored creatine, I would venture to say its the sugar.

Malley · 12-18-2006, 07:44 PM

What is the deal with kids taking creatine these days anyways? Dont they know theres no need for it at that age? A simple diet and good training fundamentals will do more for you youngsters than creatine ever will.

juggernaut · 12-18-2006, 07:48 PM

D, they dont realize that they are walking wheelbarrows filled with tons of test inside. fucking impatient dummies.

Malley · 12-18-2006, 08:07 PM

Or you could say that, haha. ^^

juggernaut · 12-18-2006, 08:09 PM

juggernaut · 12-20-2006, 06:08 PM

were not saying you shouldnt take it; we're saying that YOU are at a better advantage than say a 25, 35, 45 year old person. Good god man! You are a crate full of t-juice. You lucky bastid!
We're also saying that you should think twice about the nutritional supplements you use because it may not be reacting well with your chemistry...you fucking impatient dummy....with all due respect of course.

linebacker54 · 12-23-2006, 02:11 PM
