Before You Buy It
Before buying creatine, there are a few things to note:
- Just because you don't see immediate benefits DOES NOT mean you should take a large amount of it.
- Taking too much creatine can cause diarrhea and an upset stomach.
- If you don't see immediate benefits, you probably just need to give it more time as creatine doesn't have immediate effects.

Side Note:
I recommend taking 5 grams of creatine every day for 5 days to experience positive effects.
If you don't see any effects, you might not be drinking enough water.

*UPDATE* 7/1/2023
People tend to ask me, "Is creatine a steroid?" And I have an answer to that; creatine is not a steroid, and it does not have the affects of steroids. According to newsobserver.com, "Creatine is a legal and natural compound occurring in foods and your body and isn’t associated with steroids."
