If so whats the best one to recommend?

I like creatine ethyl esther but honestly all of it is the same....And creatine monohydrate is very inexpensive for a bulk purchase...Just understand that it's normal to increase water weight/bloat while on it...I prefer to buy bulk brands.

Seems relatively safe but I personally wouldn't take it. I lift occasionally but have no desire to go hard in the paint and bulk up like some folks here. In order to do that you have to increase your caloric intake which has a correlation with a shorter lifespan in scientific studies.


Rather just be naturally healthy and in shape doing some cardio/weights a few times a week without doing anything extra. Stunting for some hoes isn't worth reducing my lifespan

You are kind of on bring a broad brush with adding muscle. It can be done in many ways that don’t reduce your lifespan and can help increase it.

But increasing muscle mass usually involves eating more calories does it not?

There's a correlation between higher caloric intake and shorter lifespan
Yeah but that’s a big stance are taking there is a big divide between someone taking in 500 plus calories a day to gain mass over a period of weeks versus someone ingesting 1500 cals everyday as their lifestyle.

Let’s not overstate things is my point.

Creatine is creatine. There really isn't any of it out there better than the other. I been taking it for years, but now that I'm getting older I'm thinking of stopping and going more natural with my stuff. Will still do the preworkout, the protein shakes for a quick food supp, some aminos here and there, but that's about it. You don't really need to cycle it off, but after taking it for a good while it's prob a good idea to take a lil break (which I haven't been doing lol).

The creatine I'm currently on is that German Creatine off Amazon...

biggest issue is if you don't have good kidney health.


make sure your GFR is good before you take it.
