I should have started with Creatine a long time ago.

I’m 39 and really just started with Creatine in the past six months. My performance has been through the roof and my muscle mass has increased substantially.
No doubt part of that is that I had gotten really out of shape, and I’ve been hitting it pretty hard since February.
I’ve never been a big believer in supplements, but I listened to Andy Galpin on Huberman Lab, and he touted the benefits of creatine.

I wish it didn't tare my stomach up, but it does.

How much are you taking? I used to only take 5g/day but the last few months bumped it up to 9.

I stopped taking it a while back. I was trying to reduce total body water as much as possible to lower blood pressure. Now that's under control, so I might consider adding it back in. It does make a big difference in my capacity for work.

Agree - I'm older and am trying to increase/maintain strength - while it has worked for that purpose, the biggest difference I have noted is better, longer sleep - I add it to my daily protein shake.

Did the prices ever come back down to normal?

I’m 66 and I am currently in the process of body recomposition and I’ve been having really good success with that. I do bro splits every day and rest when I feel like I need it or if I’m traveling and can’t work out.
I decided to start using creatine after listening to Andrew Huberman interview Andy Galpin and he recommended that everyone take it every day whether you’re working out or not but that it would help increase your lean muscle mass.
I had already come a long way before starting so I don’t know if it made a difference or not but after listening to a Huberman YT on supplements one of the side effects he noted with creatine is an increase in male pattern baldness.
I still have all my hair although quite possibly may be thinning in some places and I certainly don’t want to exacerbate that so I figured I can get along without the creatine.
And that’s where I am right now.

creatine is great and necessary if you're wanting to maximize gains during a bulk.
I'm at the end of a cut and will go into maintenance for a while so I've stopped the daily creatine. it's been a nice change to not carry that extra water weight and since stopping, I've noticed increased definition and vascularity. the diminished 1-2 rep work capacity does suck, though.

I really don't think creatine would substantially increase muscle mass in 6 months. I do take it everyday too for the last 8 years. Doesn't studies show with creatine if eating and working out properly the muscle gain would be 1 to 2 pounds a year?

Anybody experience increased appetite? I recently started creatine and a multi min and idk if it’s just in my head or the increased water consumption makes me want to eat more or what’s going on. I was doing good with my eating but now I wanna snack all the time

Creatine. I hear some say you should cycle it and others say its not necessary to cycle. Thoughts?
