I guess I was pushing my views. I've never used it. I know people who have and they either had diarrhea or felt it was pointless. I have no experience with it as I said.

ok I part own a supplement company so some may feel my view point is biased.

so many supplements out there are utter tosh and I wouldnt bother with. One I feel is worth use is creatine.

if its pure creatine monohydrate 5g a day for thirty days will do the same as a loading phase which is saturate the muscle stores - this will be a lot less stressful on both your gut and your wallet.

if you've been given samples I doubt its pure creatine monohydrate - most likely a creatine with transporters (typically carbs).

my honest feeling at 14 you dont need it and you are better focusing on your diet - supplements give you a 1-2% edge. sorting your diet out and being consistent with it will give you the 98% and at 14 my thoughts are you're unlikely to have ingrained 100% on point dietary habits.

only once you have reaped gains through hard training and a solid diet gor a few years will you get the most out of an additional supplements.

in my mind every supplement has a benefit to risk ratio, even ones like creatine which has a favourable benefit to risk ratio I would still say you need to maximise the benefit side through 100% dietary compliance.

I would recommend to just eat a half dozen of eggs a day for a couple of years, and then try if Creatine is good for you, which it very well can be. I would recommend CreaPure under the cheapest brand.

Hello,

Before going into supplement, a good diet for a while is always a good judge to see how performance evolves.

Here it is a free trial so why not but...

Kind regards,

Hello,

I only use a slight supplement with rice protein but:
I do not know if it is better to take creatine in itself or its components:
=> glycine (anime acid which has a "sugar taste", increase oxygen flow via porphyrine creation)
=> methyonine (protein biosynthesis improvement, but need B12 vimatine to be created). The body is not able to create it. So we get it by food (eggs, fishes and meats, lentils)
=> arginine (created thanks to glutamate, increase blood vessels expansion). The body can create it the same way it create methyonine. Deficiency is unusual.

Kind regards,
