It has been more than ten years, but I do remember the very first time that I gave it a try.

So many of my friends liked the idea of using it and a lot of advertisements and magazines talked about the major muscle gains that I wanted to achieve.

When compared with taking something artificial that might promise that mass would be built, taking creatine, which is a natural protein already produced by the body, does not seem as dangerous.

Let’s go into a few of the pros and cons of creatine, as there are definitely arguments to be made on both ends. Ultimately, the decision as to whether it’s right for you or not will be in your hands. On the positive side of things, it’s been scientifically proven to speed up the recovery time of your muscles. What does this mean?

You’ll essentially be able to lift weights for longer without getting tired like you normally would. This leads to both gains in strength, as well as increases in lean muscle mass since the extra effort you’re putting into your workouts will help to build mass.

To the point, creatine absolutely works. In order to get the most from this supplement, you have to work out on a regular basis or your time will just be wasted. Speaking negatively, it has been known to make you dehydrated. Thus, when you are in the middle of a creatine cycle, always drink a lot more water than you usually would.

There are those people who think that a lot of the gains you end up making are directly related to the water weight that is caused by this supplement. They think that it causes them to look bloated. Yes, your body is going to retain more water while you are taking it, but that is not the whole story. You will have the results to show for it, no matter what, since a combination of water weight and muscle is what you will be putting on.

When all is said and done, the decision as to which way to go ultimately rests in your hands.

A good approach may be to try it in moderation before committing to larger servings.
