With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

It's not like its created in some drug lab. -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

It is in no way hormonal, etc. So don't know where he is coming from. Many doctors are in the "dark ages" with supplements. My wife is diabetic. Live with it daily. She bodybuilds, and uses creatine just fine. As I mentioned, stay away from the sugar ladened ones and you should be fine. -------------- Strength and Honor!
