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.

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.

^^^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.Originally Posted by grace_ou

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.

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.
