I am learning that creatine isn't just for people that want to gain muscle but also for thoughs that need or like the recovery aid it offers and of course the strength endurance it provides. I use it even for cardio days! If it does all the above then it's a top notch muscle preserver. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

Am I wrong in this assumption? Should more people be taking it? And what are some bad side effects if any from it? -------------- Jonathan (jonnnyko@hotmail.com) *** Nothing Is Real but Pain Now ***
