The problem with creatine monohydrate discussion is that the anecdote and the mechanism get merged. Here is my attempt to keep them apart.
Same here.
Same here.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing.
Read methods. Tolerance was my main issue with creatine monohydrate too.
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation. A fortnight in on creatine monohydrate and it lines up.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?
