Question 4

is drinking creatine-powdered drinks very helpful in promoting muscle growth? a med school friend said it wasn't worth possible damage to kidneys.

Accepted Answer

I agree c ur friend.: Even though muscle is made up of creatine, drinking this chemical will not lead to increase muscle growth. I would recommend a diet relatively high in protein, and relatively less carbohydrates and fats. It is the exercise that will build muscle, not the drink.

Question 5

does creatine stunt body growth, penis, or bone growth ?

Accepted Answer

No, but does no good: Creatine is a protein supplement and it will not harm you, at the same time it will not do you any good either, other than lightening your wallet.

Question 6

can creatine monohydrate increase growth hormone in teens?

Accepted Answer

: no

Question 7

is creatine monohydrate good for a 16 years old body builder or it can stunt the growth or hurt the kidneys and the livers? answer me please

Accepted Answer

Must be done right: You can overdo creatine at your age. While it will not stunt your growth, in excessive amounts and without proper fluid, it can stress or be harmful to your kidneys. With any supplements in childhood and/or adolescence, you should check with doctor before starting and discuss your goals and desires as to why you want to use this and if this is the best option for what your goals are.

Question 8

i have fibromyalgia. i go to the gym to help treat this condition. can creatine help with my fitness growth as well as body recovery? also, are there any supplements to stay away from while taking creatine?

Accepted Answer

: Creatine,unlike many supplements, has been very well studied.  Advocates of creatine supplements feel it increases exercise performance &amp; muscle strength. There's very little downside as long as you have normal kidney function and don't exceed recommended dosage, Go lightly on salt intake as some retain fluid on creatine.  Not exceeding 10 grams per serving should prevent stomach issues..

Question 9

hi i am 16 years old teen can i use creatine monohydrate and bcaa and whey protein? or that will effect my height or kidney or livers growth badly?

Accepted Answer

Bcaa: These products are touted for body building and muscle building. The problem is that we don't know the longterm effects these substances have on a growing adolescent. For example seizures have been reported with its use.

Question 10

help please! i don't know when to take micronized creatine?

Accepted Answer

Never: These products are not FDA regulated.  The safety profile is not known. Talk to your PCP and know your health status before using any supplementation. Creatinine protein shakes are popular supplement among body builders who are trying to add muscle mass. Excessive of creatinine use and muscle mass will put a burden on Kidney and cause kidney failure.
