Remember there's two types of water retention. The first is water inside the cells. This is good water, it means your body is properly hydraded. The second is water outside of the cells, which in excess amounts causes bloating.
Bottom line is this: Unless you're a hardcore professional bodybuilder taking creatine as a supplement isn't going to make you any stronger and you're not going to look better because the bloating will hide the hard chiseled look of lean muscle. Just save the money.  |
i can see that my muscles are fuller, my bodyfat is the same so i'm not really retaining water there, but my gut man! underneath the muscles, just bloated outtttttttt.
i'll finish up this jar and prolly discontinue.

As for how to balance it all out. I would probably listen to WC on it. He seems to know a lot of about physical training, and over all health and nutrition. |

i could prolly go with more water, i'm still at <1gallon/day. the carbs have have dialed in for the delivery. i've also been taking it with chia seeds- they hold 8x their weight in water, helping with absorbtion.
