Answer:
Creatine is perfectly
safe to use. It already found in your body in
large quantities as well as being present in
many foods (mainly red meat). It is used in
your body to give energy to your working muscles.
Many stories in
the news bash creatine and claim many side effects,
such as dehydration and cramping, that have
NEVER been demonstrated in controlled studies.
Creatine is one
supplement that you will notice significant
results quickly and is completely safe.
The best way to
take creatine to get results quickly is load.
To do this simply take 5 grams (one teaspoon)
four times a day for 5 days. It is best to take
this with a high-glycemic carb such as Tang
(which I personally use).
After your loading
phase, take one serving (5 grams) every day
thereafter.
Your strength
should increase fairly quickly when you start
taking creatine. You will actually keep most
of this strength when you stop taking it. It
will take about a month after you stop for your
body to clear out all the creatine that you've
loaded up into it. You will lose some of the
water that was absorbed with the creatine but
will keep most of the strength.
It is DEFINITELY
worth taking.
