CentralForce should we not take creatine?

[Point.]

I just read a thread where some people argued about creatine so what exactly are the reasons to not take it?

Creatine is a natural compound. It is found in many natural foods. It is safe.

I've read before that when someone has preexisting kidney problems, supplementing can exacerbate this. We're talking supplementing here. Not getting it in your food. Otherwise it's safe. Buy high quality.

As far as I remember the process of making creatine leaves the final product contaminated with a carcinogenic chemical and at the time I read that, there was only brand in the world that didn't have it. The others say there's not enough for it to be a problem and the cheaper stuff.of course has higher amounts.
It's also really not necessary to supplement. If you eat enough red meat you'll get natural creatine. If you want a pump from lifting try citrulline malate or one of the other options which can be made pure.

You should reply to that one thread instead.
Anyway, creatine has no permanent effects, just "fulfills" your muscles with it, makes them look bigger until you stop taking it. Some say it makes you muscles ache a little or something because they lack water then but I am no expert, never took it

When I asked him by mail years ago he told me it's the worse thing you could use.

When I used to weight lift I found creatine did make me stronger and pumped up.

Contrary to what you said I was under the impression you bulked up on creatine because it makes your muscles hold more water.

But then as you said I found it not suitable because I lost the size and power as soon as I stopped talking it.

Maybe useful to bulk up for a tournament or something. But for long term gains it won't last.

My opinion is that it's best to train on proper food because your body will make real muscle that will last better that way.

I did use some protein powders for a boost though, but food is best because it's real and natural.

Natural sources > lab/factory made sources

I think this sums it up. Eat well and keep it simple.

Thank you for sharing your experience with creatine.
Proteic powder's quality varies a lot between brands, some are very shit but people buys it because they didn't take the time to do proper research. Usually the more expansive ones are better, but one really needs to read the recipients on the box

Technically definetly yes. But i wanted to hear why he thinks is the worst thing we could potentially take.
