Does anyone take creatine supplements? I’ve been hitting the gym harder than usual in the last few months and a friend recommended taking creatine supplements. If you take them have you noticed much difference? How has it benefited you?

If you don't do a loading phase then they say you should see results after 3-4 weeks so would expect to notice something by now even without a loading phase.

Yes I think if you’re doing your water and work outs correct the only explanation is as per the previous poster, you’re so fit and your muscles already saturated you don’t need it. But that’s a huge achievement, even most serious body builders feel it.

I am a powerlifter so guess it may make sense. I'm a bit gutted. I was hoping to see great things!
