Question about creatine

Dodson20 · 08-16-2009, 10:52 PM

im currently taking creatine mono. i have before in the past, i seem to bloat around the mid section everytime. i achieve good mass in the places i want it but also places i dont. whats going on here? is it just my body reacting to it differently? is this common? i always take it right after i work out and just one serving, i dont load either. any help would be great. thanks all readers

It's very common, for most people mono makes you bloat especially around the midsection. What are you dosages?

Dodson20 · 08-16-2009, 11:13 PM

i just take a teaspoon/ 5g after workout. and that is it for the day. so there is basically no way to escape the bloating?

Make sure you drink lots and lots of water, that should take care of it, at least it did for me.

i always try to drink around a gallon, ill increase it a bit and i also have a much better diet this time around with it. much appreciated man

No problem, 1 - 1.5 gallons is perfect. Keep the diet clean because we all know a dirty diet will of course encourage more of a chubby mid section lol. Good luck.

Mainly water build up from the creatine mono....nothing to worry about, make sure your taking in enough water. Pride hit it on the nose for water intake.

Yes, putting creatine in your postworkout shake is a great way to take it. Make sure you are getting some fast digesting carbohydrates in there as well, i.e. dextrose / maltodextrin / waxy maize starch.
