Beginner's Creatine, Protein & Misc. Supplement FAQ *Must Read*

[adnan85z]

can anyone help me out here, Im kinda super confused.
I bought a CREATINE from Canada i though it would be same as USA one but now i figured out that

Bought From Canada (Walmart):

Serving Size: 1 Scoop (1.6g)
Servings Per Container: Approx. 120
Amount Per 1 Scoop %DV

Creatine Hydrochloride (HCl) 750 mg
Beta-alanine 250 mg
Chromium 100 mg


USA product:

Serving Size: 1 Scoop (2g)
Servings Per Container: Approx. 120
Amount Per 1 Scoop %DV


Creatine Hydrochloride (HCl) 750 mg
Creatine Monohydrate 750 mg


Suggested Use: Mix 1 scoop with 120mL to 180mL of cold water and consume 4 times daily. Maintain an adequate state of hydration during use. Take separately from products containing caffeine. Use for a minimum of 4 weeks and consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 10 weeks. Read the entire label before use and follow directions.

but in the other hand it says its a post workout supplement. I'm bit confused now how should i take it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have been working out for 7 months now. Lost the weight i wanted and met my goal. Now im trying to gain a little muscle mass so I tyring out Nitro Tech from Muscletech. Should I just use half the recommended dose on my days that i go to the gym? If I do will I still get some help from it. At this time im still loosing weight without trying. Just going to the gym like i normally do. One day on and one day off etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciate it.

hey wanted to know if HI Tech Pharmaceuticals had good products mainly their 1-ad,anavar,and equibolin

Hi. I am new and had a serious question.

Going to start serious lifting in about a weeks time and have a serious routine in place. In the routine it says to take nitraflex but I am REALLY not comfortable with it as so many say they have felt breathless. I found an alternative called GAT PMP but it says it is from the same people who made nitraflex. Does this mean it will have same side effects?

I am wanting to take something without these side effects so please do let me know which is the safest option for me.

I would appreciate any other help for a new person like me


Thanks so much guys

No, creatine can be used all year round.

No need to be taking in amino acids if you're taking in protein powders - they're already Rich in amino acids

Sorry this is late but thank you for your answer.

Hello guys
Recently I decided that I wanted to become stronger and bigger.
My coach told me to start accept steroids. After all,it's not secret, that steroids is
the most effective means for a set of lean muscle mass and increase strength. I decided to try.
My friend with whom we go to the gym, advised me a website where you can buy them.thepharmacom.com.
And are you thinking about it? Some of you made the order on this site? Do you like the results?

I have a question about serious mass gainer. The 12 lbs bag I ordered from bodybuilder came in but it didn't even come with a scooper. Or at least it's buried cause I couldn't find one. so how much exactly is a "heaping scoop".

is it just like the one scoop we get from the normal whey protein packs?

or is it a lot bigger.

Also my package of creatine didn't come with a scooper either.

EDIT: NVM found em they were buried. first time buying this stuff

2 heaping scoops is 334g according to the label.

You're best off weighing it out and tailoring it accordingly. It's a lot of calories in one go - you'll end up chitting your own body weight in diarrhoea.

Creatine dosing is 5g/day - roughly one heaped teaspoon

Really thankful for this thread. Definintely one to print out/save

[Fittipade]

Is it really beneficial for beginners to start creatine? I heard it's for the bigger guys.

[marieflores]

Wonderful insight... thanks for this

Should I take the same Creatine HCL dose on a non training day as I do when training?

[JaJaniGlam]

I take creatine 1 time per day in a capsule in the morning. Then 45 min to 1 hour before working out. I skip my day off on Wednesday and Saturday and Sunday.

I read a report that says since it will stay in your body for weeks its ok to skip days and not see a major drop.

So I guess Im doing it right for now.

Very quick question.

Is Gold Standard 100% Whey a good protein powder? I take this immediately after I get home which is like a 2 min drive.

Also want to know if its worth taking the Gold Standard on off days.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, but no real need to take amino acids at all (bar in your multi)

Protein is protein. Liquid or solid, as long as you get it. So absolutely fine to take this anytime you want. Scientifically, it's probably best after fasting (first thing in the morning) or post workout to get direct effect. This is a good brand though, it's fairly inexpensive and frankly is tasty at the same time.
