Only ever heard of this once. There's a guy trains in my gym who takes no supplements simply because when he tried creatine it didn't agree with his bowels!

I noticed this when I started using it

None of this stuff is a miracle powder that will sculpt you the body you desire - simple quality diet and hard work are 99% of the progress you'll make. Sups are all an extra rep here or increased focus there, some of which is probably physiological but if it helps you hit targets and stay motivated than its gotta be worth it!!

Well said

If they keep you motivated and going forward then they're worth it. Most of the supplements I use and/or recommend cost pennies. Taurine and creatine are what £5 for 100g of each? Can't hurt can it?

How many people do you know go out and blow £40 on a tub of Maximuscle protein or similar that will last 2 weeks and they believe all the marketing BS? What do they think this stuff can really do?

I've only been going to the gym for a month at most, and I've only just started to get really focussed in to it.

I'll leave it for anothr 6 months and see if I hit this plateau, or how my gains are. I've noticed a gain already so I'm pretty happy at the moment.

Nothing beats those first 6 months, you will see the BEST gains ever! Enjoy

I tried some of my mates CEE last Wednesday and I thought it tasted like liquorice when mixed with orange squash. I quite liked it :eek:

Just way too expensive.

For sure, It's the price tag that baffles me too. I stick to the essentials, and those essentials are cheap.

Can creatine help weight loss? Creatine can be taken before and after a training session however, is it needed for a jog or a sprint?

Nope

Sorry, is that no for both of the questions or one? :confused:

Whens the best time to take creatine?

I read somewhere that it doesnt really matter. Is this true?
