FULL breakdown on creatine 🧬 from a dietitian

Curious about creatine? Heard some great things about it but also some scary things? Let’s go through and see what’s fact and what’s fake news!

CREATINE is the most researched and most effective sports supplement. There are many myths circulating that are not backed my science! A lot of them stem from a misinterpretation of science.

It’s kind of like the telephone game where you pass on what you heard and it gets more and more messed up over time. For example:

-Jake reads that creatine makes you hold water in your muscles. Jake tells his friend Tony. Tony remembers “creatine makes you hold water”. Tony tells Stacy, “your weight probably went up because you started taking creatine”. Stacy stops taking creatine because she thinks it’s causing her to gain fat and be bloated. Stacy tells her friends that women shouldn’t take creatine because it causes weight gain.

This is why we need to go back to the science and check who we are getting our info from! 🤓

I am sure many of you have been wondering the TRUTH for these questions in the photos! Let me know in the comments if you have any others but FIRST go check my post before this because it is also about creatine.

Also remember that you HAVE to take creatine consistently in order to get the most benefit from it! If you aren’t taking it consistently it is sort of a waste of money. Set an alarm, take it when you will be most likely to remember like first thing in the AM, do whatever you need to do to remember!
