Don't know if you are a troll or not.

But I would stay away from that craatine.

Also avoid craptine.

And any form of exercise can be considered hazardous. So you better stop
exercising.

And no matter what you do, you will eventually die.

Just give up. Roll over and die.

It is the only way to avoid hazards.

Five grams with your whey protein drink is just fine.

Creatine has been known to cause occasional muscle cramps, and if you
use too much, osmotic diarrhea. Both are transient and can usual be
resolved by cutting back on your doses. If you think creatine is
harmful, then please cite your sources. We love to tear apart the
arguments of morons.

And FWIW, Optimum Nutrition whey is very reasonably priced. Vanilla
can be mixed with most any non-carbonated carbohydrate drink, and it
will taste pretty good.

bank.

How do I take it? Do I drink it just by itself during lunch? DO I mix
it with water? Any sources wher I can read up on it. I don't like those
bodybuilding magazines. There are so many ads from so many different
companies. And it seems like, from the ads, that every one of them
turns you into Arnold.

On the Creatine point. I have heard negative things from 2 sources.
One, a doctor of a poster in this NG. Second, someone else I know.
Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in taking the slightest risk. To
those of you who take it, I wish a lifetime of side-effect free health.

Do not take creatine. The anxiety and worry would not be worth it.

I can not even begin to imagine what it must be like to be you. Fear of even
the slightest of risk. Humans are a predator species. We were designed to
take risks, and enjoy greater rewards. You are like the little field mouse,
that lives its life in constant fear of every little noise or disturbance in
it's environment. What a miserable life that must be. I truly feel sorry for
you.

Then they are both wrong and I gave you a URL for some actual facts on
the topic.

Well, when I meant slightest risk, I meant as far as a bodybuilding
product is concerned. I am a huge risk taker in other areas and I have
absolutely no problem with them.

Taking Creatine and having a side effect is not what I am looking for.
I am not a professional body builder. I have no intention to be one.
The size increase from protein shakes is good enough for me. There was
a guy here who took steroids and developed breasts. It might be worth
it to him but not to me.

Glad to hear that. You had me worried.

You have been provided the answer already, and links to more information,
but you don't seem to be listening. I'll try, one more time. Listen
carefully.

Creatine is not a steroid.

Creatine is harmless.

Creatine has been extensively studied and safely used for years.

Creatine has minimal effects on muscle building, but it's cheap and safe,
so, why not.

Depends on the protein powder, what you are mixing it with and what
your goals are. Most people make shakes with it, but you can also add
it to cooked oatmeal as an added protein boost. Some brands taste
better and mixblend better with milk (fatfree or regular depending on
your needs) while others taste fine just mixed in water. For example I
can blend Natures Best Isopure locarb chocolate in just a shaker bottle
with some cold water and it tastes like skinny chocolate milk to me,
very drinkable. Or for a blender shake, use lots of ice, fruit of
choice, scoop of vanilla protein powder, add water if needed. Comes out
like a fruit smoothie. I also like the chocolate protein powder from
Costco. Mixed/blenderized with some fatfree milk, ice, cold coffee,
scoop of powder, dash of flavored coffee creamer, sweetner if needed. I
think most people have a shake as an additional meal or after working
out, but not as a drink on the side with a meal. Protein drinks are
usually very filling by themselves. Some links below with more recipe
ideas and tips:

Are you going to keep repeating yourself over and over until somone
tells you what you want to hear or agrees with you?
