Mothers of highschool boys everywhere just breathed a sigh of relief.

Higher resting creatine levels have also shown to have benefits for brain function and memory retention. It’s not just for people who lift weights.

[davidmunoz]

Bro kept count of how many questions were asked. What a legend!

[Nobody-bqpl]

I took creatine in HS and was accused of the first 4 statements by my principle and coaches lol

[funcool]

I have been taking creatine for 25yrs on and off. The last 6 months i have not cycled off and coincidentally haven't had any injuries in this time, lifting more than I've lifted all throughout my 40s. I'm 48 and feel the strongest I've felt in 10yrs. I have nothing bad to say about it!

[User-jeds]

Yes, creatine does cause water retention.

[ryanhadfield]

It’s the single most studied supplement on the market. It’s safe.

Wish i could go back 12 years to high school and show this to my schools athletic director that was convinced creatine was a steroid. Hell he considerd whey protien powder a steroid too lol

2 of the 9 doctors that approve of every toothpaste.

Absence of studies does not imply lack of symptoms. Creatine and hair loss has never had an official study, and there are thousands of anecdotes saying it caused thinning. Being a doctor doesn't give you an "I'm always right" stamp

[marsmccollum]

Plot twist, he's a creatine salesperson

[bigwon]

I like these guys. Straight to the point.

[frenzy]

I took creatine when I was working out. Only took it serious for a solid 6 months. But I can say, it did wonders. Just solid results on my workouts and I felt great

[charleslongfield]

I'm 68, I mix it in my smoothies, I still put in a good days work, I believe it helps.

[veronicaopara]

U guys are very funny 🙂😂 lovey guys remain blessed

[manuelochoa]

I knew this back in 1995 when creatine monohydrate came out in the market and was sold as a supplement in stores. I think it is one of the safest and more effective supplements for bodybuilding. I took it for 12 years until i stopped working out. I still take it again once i start working out again.

[iamchristiantuckwell]

I took creatine and had bloods come back with low kidney function and I don’t drink or do drugs or steroids. Creatine was the only explanation, you have to really hydrate because it does affect your kidneys

[Wesdavidson]

Actually didn’t care for you guys at first but now I look forward to your post. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!

Why you guys showing Mike O'Hearn the only natural bodybuilder in the world haha, when talking about steroids. That was gold
