Will help with hydration, as it is a cell volumizer and thus draws more water into the cell. You do not and should not go to the gym more often, you have to know your recovery threshold. Creatine will not increase this to any measurable extent. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

It is known to cause breast formation in men, hair loss and most importantly a REDUCTION in the size of the penis. my advice is to keep away from this substance. A friend of mine went from 6 inches to 2. Your choice

That better not be true! and how does creatine make you loose hair after all one of it's very basic substance is Torrine no ? and as far as I'm concerened Torrine grows hair faster. hmmm... I may be totally wrong on this, That's my conclusion. ============ Quoting from jacklugard: Edwardj, be cautious when taking creatine.

We fail to take in the idea that a newbie may not know this. It was a joke. :) -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
