EPTasking a bunch of random people for their personal opinion is probably the worst way to go about making a decision.
check out glutamine as well. It's useful for body building and also helps your immune system, as well as being pretty cheap.

Frankly, there's really no need for creatine, and if you're just starting to workout it probably isn't worth it. You'll experience big gains in muscle growth without creatine, and you can definitely feel more confident in spending your money on good healthy food and maybe whey protein. Good nutrition is way more important than creatine and it has none of the potential drawbacks. I'd do that first, and then work on working out. If you're not getting the results that you want, then consider creatine. | ||

Besides that, Creatine has the ability to store a hell of a lot of water in your muscles, which is a good thing because with it comes increased uptake of nutritions into the muscles promoting faster and healthier growth. Take creatine if you think you need the extra boost. I take it during bulking phases when I need to lift a little extra and I don't mind the slight water retention. Google 'Creatine' do some of your own research and make up your mind, the product is safe. | ||

In my experience Creatine is a perfectly safe SUPPLEMENT, not a steroid, the same as Protein or vitamin C. It will help you a little, but it's obviously not going to make you look like a bodybuilder. if you want to gain muscle safely, I would do it, just for any advantage I could get, as I haven't read anything suggesting any negative effects. My old swim coach had just about everyone on the team on it, i don't know if it did anything, but my balls certainly didn't shrink and I was a pretty damn good swimmer. Look it up for yourself though, getting random crowd opinion in a Starcaft forum has got to be one of the worse ways of learning about workout techniques. | ||

Even if you were taking real steroids (I did a cycle of Dianabol once), you still have to be taking high doses or for a long time to have any noticeable ball-shrinking effects. Creatine makes your muscles hold extra water. The biggest danger that I can see in creatine is that it dehydrates you. Oooh scary. 5 mg a day won't make that much of a difference. I'm pretty sure I was taking 15 once upon a time. Drink lots of water, and you're fine. | ||
