Creatine and bloating?????

jehollywood · Nov 1, 2005

Is there any Creatine out on the market right now that doesn't give that bloating feel and look to your body. I know all the benefits of the creatine, but I don't want the bloated look. Any personal recommendations or trial and error stories would be appreciated.

Look for something called Satur8. It is a creatine cocktail. The creatine in it is a di-malate, rather than a monohydrate. It does not have the same water retaining properties.

how much of it are you taking? alot of ppl feel that way after taking too much of it

yeah, normally creatine doesn't bloat you up noticably. are you trying to load?

I just started taking pro performance creatine monohydrate. I have been looking around and it seemed liked a good version of the orginal creatine. Taking 5 grams 30-60 minutes after my workout with my protein shake (whey gold standard)

so you've have experienced any bloating yet?

jehollywood · Nov 2, 2005

I have been taken it shortly. I haven't been doing a loading phase. I just feel bloated. Look a little puffy...

You don't need to load, 3 to 5 grams post workout is fine.

Yeah, I am sticking to 5 grams. I am going to continue using it until I finsih it off. Maybe I am still in the process of getting everything saturated.

Thanks for the info.
