I have been taking creatine monohydrate for 2 months now. While I have taken the recommended dose (i.e., 5 grams a day, without loading phase), I have experienced great results (strength gain and no side effects). However, during that period, I decided to double my daily dose. Soon I started experiencing side effects: extreme fatigue (not attributable to dehydration)and cardiac arrhythmia (namely ...

Results aren't worth the mood swing nor the on sudden aggression.

Track & Field Athlete who took this on/off for 2yrs while in college. No enhancement of performance that good, well-coached practices could deliver. For a sprinter/hurdler/jumper, it was unneeded water weight with a well-hydrating diet. It was "pushed" by then track coach on the whole team. I personally gained better results over the summers witout taking it. It has been 15yrs since that time frame and it is more difficult to shed off water weight now from those of us who took it regularly than my teammates who did not take it. Greater scientific class sizes over longer spans of time need to be taken to determine if it is really helpful or not. Most test sizes have only come from groups of around 40(VERY small).

I started it a few years ago. It worked wonders for me. I am 70 years old, had no energy due to congestive heart failure. I take Creatine Fuel in capsule form, 1 just before breakfast, and 1 just before dinner. Ea. capsule has 2100 mg & the brand is Twinlab.

Works to improve mood stability and cognitive ability with Bipolar disorder. Took some months to build tolerance (mania). I tend to be very sensitive to supplements and drugs. Used EAS by Abbot.

You should add Creatine to a juice with sugar like grap juice. It is absorbed much better this way. I am doing 8oz Cranberry Juice to 1 tsb of Creatine powder.

Creatine is simply the best supplement on the market. Used in conjunction with protien powders it will increase your muscle size and energy output. AVOID creatine supplements that are sold in liquid form as it has been proven that creatine can NOT remain stable in liquid form and loses its effectiveness in a matter of hours.

I used Creatine Serum, a liquid that was supplied by a dropper and placed under the tongue. I had fast size gains, but lost it quickly after discontinuing use.
