Water pockets from creatine

josmit Posts: 107 Joined: 2005/06/09	2007/01/01, 06:43 PM Hey Ive been talking to a few people about creatine and they are saying I should stay away from it. I thought that it was pretty harmless but they said it is bad for your joints because some of the extra water stretches them. something about water pockets. Since I have been using it and liking it, I am wondering if anyone knows about this or have read any studys. Thanks

This si synthesised through our liver. Creatine supplementation has been, and continues to be, investigated as a possible therapeutic approach for the treatment of muscular, neurological and neuromuscular diseases (arthritis, congestive heart failure, miscellaneous neuromuscular diseases, mitochondrial diseases, muscular dystrophy, neuroprotection, etc.). Two scientific studies have indicated that creatine may be beneficial for neuromuscular disorders.
