I tried creatine. Taking it in powder form mixed with my protein shake made me feel awful. Not worth it. Seemingly does nothing.

- beezle 2y agoDon't take it on an empty stomach. Don't do the overload the first 10 days, instead stick to just 5g daily. It will take a little longer to get the full effect of the loading stage but with far less risk of stomach upset.
- y-c-o-m-b 2y agoI have more issues with it when there's food in my stomach vs when there's not. In fact if I eat anything within 15 minutes (in either direction) of consuming creatine, I will for certain have diarrhea. I have zero issues with it on an empty stomach. These days I just make sure not to eat anything within an hour of the creatine and I'm good. Agreed on the loading phase. It's not worth it. EDIT: should add that I've been taking creatine for several years
