I wouldn't recommend taking creatine if you don't work out or get cardio. Without that, creatine can cause weight gain due to water retention. If you do exercise, creatine should an essential be part of your stack.
- misev 9y agoWhy is water weight gain an issue?
- pault 9y agoYou don't want to take a group of people with notoriously low self esteem and make them fat.
- WalterSear 9y agoCreatine weight gain doesn't make you fat: it plumps up muscles, making you look more muscular, which, in turn, makes you look like you've lost weight.
- tomp 9y agoWhy would you be worried about weight gain if you know it's just water?
- 3131s 9y agoI strongly disagree. You can be an extremely good athlete without any supplement "stack" whatsoever. Maybe creatine helps eke out slightly better performance in certain activities, but like with most supplements it's really not worth the risk to your kidneys and other internal organs. If you exercise, eating well and sleeping enough is sufficient.
- tsomctl 9y agoDunno. I take significantly less than the recommended amount, and still find that I have significantly more mental and physical energy for everything. I recently tested this when I stopped taking it while on a certain medicine.
- eternauta3k 9y agoGot any links to the "risk to your kidneys"?
