| Subsequent to reading the posts regarding Creatine, I decided to put my two cents in. With the majority of posts from Creatine users, it seems like overtraining is the big reason for the strains and pulls, and as one astute writer pointed out, lack of water intake. Creatine is not a magic pill. It is meant for hard training athletes to recover faster from intense workouts, not to attempt to go beyond your limits.
Train sensibly, eat right, drink lots of water and you will see a difference. I take pure Creatine in tab form, no powder. The powdered form has animal by-products, and much of the Creatine does not even reach the muscles. It is excreted out of your system. In addition, the 20 grams recommended by some companies is way too much and unnecessary. New research has found that 3 grams a day is enough to derive benefits. It has also been my experience that going on for 4-6 weeks, and going off for a month is the prudent way to take this product. I am a world class age-group master's sprinter, and I can tell you the stuff "works." Just use in moderation and don't go crazy with your workouts.
