Will creatine make you gain weight?
Let’s clear this up. If you have a regular bathroom scale, you might see your weight go up and panic. This is why I recommend tossing it and getting a body composition scale, which will give you more details. Creatine will not make you gain fat. The extra weight you might see may be from how creatine can help your muscles store more water, which is actually a good thing. This means better workouts, faster recovery, and more strength gains.
However, with creatine monohydrate, there is also the possibility of bloating. I share my dosage recommendations in the video if that’s what you’re using, but with creatine HCl (the superior form of creatine I use in my SHEatine formula) you don’t even have to worry about it. It’s a more powerful dose in a smaller amount, and you get all of the benefits without the bloat.

That's a great answer. You have to know what your weight is made up of 🎯🎯🎯 muscles weigh more than fat.
Can it increase appetite?
So does it make your belly and cellulite look worse?
Yes! And- random side note…I heard somewhere that 10 mg is even better. I tried it and ended up with a terrible stomach ache for the entire day so don’t do that!😂
I want to take creatine, but have heard some people experience hair loss while taking it. Do you know why that would happen? And have you heard of people experiencing this?
Would love it if you did a podcast on this topic
HCL instead of mono
Do you mean mg?
I have a difficult time sleeping. Everyone says it gives you energy but will it keep me wired all day and at bedtime if I use it first thing in the morning before my workout?
I am a 55 year old woman who bought creatine but have not started taking it because I'm wondering will it be okay considering a few years ago I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver?
Im 63 year old woman. I just started to workout again after an injury. I lost a lot of muscle. Can you recommend a creatine schedule please? Im anxious to get toned again.
I'm 66 . I improved.
