Oops I took some creatine!

[EGdance22]

So I bought some pre-workout stuff today that contained creatine. I didnt know this until AFTER taking it. I know, I should have looked before I bought it! Im just concerned that Im going to get bloated tonight! Hopefully this one time wont make a difference? Im in the process of cutting, so creatine is definitely the last thing I want. Crap. Just needed to rant

I dont even really know what the purpose of creatine is! I just know its for bulking.. i think?

Not just for bulking but one little dose will not bloat you... promise

oh lawd... You bought it without doing research?

What it does is hold more water in the muscles, rather than subcutaneously. You might gain a few pounds but you won't have that bloated-I-just-ate-a-ton-of-pasta look - the muscles will appear fuller.

Don't worry about it. I use Creatine every day (2 grams) and have never gotten bloated from it (both during cutting & building phases). I think some women initially take a bigger dose because the labels (I think) are mostly based on men who are bigger, generally. Here is a link about Creatine:

I use Creatine Monohydrate and add it to my post workout shake. If you don't want to take it, that's fine, but don't be concerned about one dose The Pre-Workout I use is Amino Energy and there isn't creatine in that one.

Thank you so much for your advice! It makes me feel better haha! Normally, I wouldnt mind - but its friday night and im trying to go out and look nice. No bloating wanted over here. But, youre right. Theres no need to worry. I will look into that pre-workout. Thanks!

Seriously? This is a serious post? I have to stop coming to these boards. Or I have to drink more. Much more.

LOL! Mix some creatine in whatever you are drinking.

I hear it's good with vodka.

One 'dose' won't do anything, creatine shouldn't bloat you (water retention is primarily intracellular) and it's worth taking every day of the year.

[EGdance22]

Yes, this was a serious question... sadly. LOL Id go into more detail of why I was concerned, but I didnt deem it necessary. Hmm, now im considering using this stuff regularly. Thanks guys!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to grace_ou again.

Creatine Is Fine while cutting...if anything it will help you retain much more strength while In a caloric deficit

You should!

Cheap, very heavily studied and documented, proven to be effective and safe - one of the few supplements worth taking.

^^^THIS, I take it daily no matter what I'm doing with weight, never has negatively impacted a cut for me. One dose won't even do anything OP, but just so you know you can no longer claim you're natty.

[cejanuary]

I think you have to build it up in your system with a few doses for anything to really happen, so like everyone else is saying-- you have nothing to worry about. I wanted to use it and tried it, but it made me have to pee like mad all the time (to be fair, I do drink a lot of water at the gym) and I just didn't think it was worth it.

Quoted for truth. I'm on the train on the way home from dinner/drinks with friends and thought it was the alcohol making me fuzzy. Lol

I take 6 grams of creatine monohydrate 325 in my coffee every morning before I leave for the day. Sometimes I workout out first thing, sometimes later on in the afternoon. I don't sweat it. I read somewhere the uptake works really well first thing in the morning. Plus I'm gone all day. I haven't had any problems.

creatine takes a few days of taking frequently just to saturate your muscles
