Playing a lot of squash, I decided to start taking Creatine, a natural, legal supplement that enhances fitness, strength, and stamina.
After loading up and following guidelines and advice from a 'Creatine expert' I found that my strength, stamina, and ability increased overnight. I couldn't believe it, so I continued to use it. It was almost a miracle, and I continued to improve, became stronger and a lot more confident. It really does have a fantastic effect. Thus far I would recommend it to anybody.
Now the downside. After finishing the recommended course for a break, I became weaker than I was previously, again overnight, and felt like I couldn't do anything. I was very lethargic. My standard dropped, strength reduced, and I became a little aggressive. I didn't want to do anything but sleep. It was almost the negative for the positive I had experienced. I can not be sure that it was the fault of the Creatine, or a side effect, maybe just tiredness, but I do not anticipate taking it again.
However, it would be perfect for me if I were to take it near the end of a season as a final boost. I still believe that it is a very good supplement and if anybody decides to use it, good luck, and I hope you gain the benefits I did, but not the negatives.

It's true that you lose a hell of a lot of strength when you stop taking Creatine. Holland and Barrets do the best Creatine for £20 for 1000g during the special offer period.

really interesting, but becareful with how much you take-it is thought to cause heart problems in middle age.

How long did the aftereffects take to kick in, I stopped taking it about 3-4 weeks ago and suddenly, this week, I have got weaker. This happened to me last time and is, I think, the amount of time it takes for the extra creatine to leave your system. That said, I'm currently looking for some more as it does seem to work and I have suffered no side effects.
Conceived from an environment of continued leading-edge sport science, Phosphagen HP ... more
represents the second generation in creatine supplementation since EAS first introduced creatine to athletes in early 1993 with Phosphagen (independent-laboratory-tested HPCE pure creatine monohydrate). University tests prove that Phosphagen brand creatine monohydrate is effective for building mass, strength, and improving muscular power.Phosphagen HP brings performance nutrition to the next level with the inclusion of a scientifically-backed High Performance Creatine Transport System? for greater creatine storage in muscle tissue. Phosphagen HP is designed to support the activity and efficiency of muscle creatine transporters ? special proteins that ?carry? creatine into muscle cells ? by fostering a precise metabolic and muscle ?microenvironment,? pushing creatine transport to a new level. Phosphagen HP includes 5.25g of Phosphagen creatine monohydrate per serving, and the exclusive High Performance Creatine Transport System matrix: high-glycemic carbohydrates, taurine, and a specialized phosphate blend.
