Question 1

would like to take creatine monohydrate will it be safe? i have a tendency of high b.p. for 2 months in winters not on any medication

Accepted Answer

Maybe no: People with kidney disease, high blood pressure, or liver disease should not take creatine.

I think the key question is do you have high BP or not?

Question 2

what are the benefits of creatine monohydrate?

Accepted Answer

Gain mass: You will tend to gain muscle mass more rapidly doing resistance training. It seems quite safe. I am glad you are considering this rather than anabolic steroids, which are illegal, cheating, dangerous and will make you look ugly.

Question 3

what's the best creatine monohydrate you recommend?

Accepted Answer

No single best optio: There is no best. Any reputable brand will do just fine. Don't forget that for it to be best for you, you have to be able to afford it & obtain it. It may be the "best" but if it's too expensive or can't be imported into japan, then it's useless to you.

Question 4

what amount gains should i see from creatine monohydrate?

Accepted Answer

Creatine: The  results of taking creatine is very veriable and depends on the individual.  To my knowledge there is no formula which relates how much muscle mass one will gain vs how much creatine ingested or how much excercise one does.

Question 5

when should someone take creatine monohydrate: before or after a workout?

Accepted Answer

Creatine.: Creatine in doses of 1000 to 5000mg daily has been shown to increase muscle mass, muscle size and muscle energy stores.  Creatine must be taken with lots of water throughout the day, and doses must not exceed 5000mg daily to avoid impairment of kidney function.  The dose can be taken all at once, preferably after exercise to facilitate ATP store replenishment in the muscles after exercise.

Question 6

does creatine monohydrate affect semen levels?

Accepted Answer

Semen: Creatine has many side effects including possible kidney and liver disease.  I have not been able to find anything about semen levels.

Question 7

could creatine monohydrate affect prostatitis negatively?

Accepted Answer

Creatine: creatine taken at no more than 3 grams per day is considered safe.  At greater than this there can be side effects including asthma and even possibly kidney and liver disease.  I could not find any effect on prostatitis or prostate health.

Question 8

how should i use creatine monohydrate? and is it harmful ?

Accepted Answer

: It is useless.  It harms your pocket book. Discuss with your Dr.

Question 9

help can creatine monohydrate affect prostatitis negatively?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Since creatine monohydrate is merely a common nutrition supplement for body builders, there could not be the possibility to negatively affect prostatitis which denotes pathologically having some inflammation in the prostate tissue. Yet in fact, most of cases diagnosed as prostatitis have no inflammation or infection at all but just have age-related lower urinary tract symptoms. More? See uro-doc..

Question 10

are there any known side effects with taking creatine monohydrate?

Accepted Answer

Let me help: One concern with continuous supplementation the body might decline in its ability to produce creatine on its own.
Another issue concerns the other ingredients that accompany creatine in various supplement products. You should compare labels of competing brands carefully to determine whether you feel comfortable with the other ingredients.
