    My question on timing is more; before food or after food? I’m finding if I take it on an empty stomach it upsets my stomach 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Why do I feel dizzy i bought coach Greg creatine monohydrate and is only the second day I already feel some dizziness is this a temporary thing or worsen?

  3. @caladanbleed on August 28, 2025 at 7:59 am

    Creatine is a scam. Studies that show benefits barely show anything and that’s at super high doses with people not like you. There’s a reason it’s not banned in the Olympics. The reason: it’s not “performance enhancing.” But yeah, keep wasting your money. It’s your right.

    😳 why do you blink a lot? 🤔 …its a mental disease? 🤷‍♀️

  5. @scotkray on August 28, 2025 at 8:00 am

    Creatine is canceled out by caffeine. Don’t take them together, space them out by at least 30 min.

  6. @theBigSHEETs on August 28, 2025 at 8:01 am

    Does creatine cause the growth of another head?

  7. @MissMarie1377 on August 28, 2025 at 8:02 am

    It gives me a headache, is that normal?

  8. @BILLYGGangan on August 28, 2025 at 8:04 am

    What is carbohydrate

  9. @Cerro-1 on August 28, 2025 at 8:06 am

    I take it micronized and with food. Regular on an empty stomach started causing issues.

  10. @goodryna on August 28, 2025 at 8:06 am

    Basically a subscription service to these companies

  11. @CraigPayne_52 on August 28, 2025 at 8:15 am

    Diddly-what-now? lol

  12. @ricksmith7232 on August 28, 2025 at 8:16 am

    What if I don’t want to go bald? How can I take it without having excess testosterone convert to DHT that causes the balding?

  13. @owen2431 on August 28, 2025 at 8:16 am

    Bedtime ritual for me. Dry scoop, lots of water so I’m well hydrated and a good piss before getting into bed. For me, bed time is the only consistent part of my day. So most supplements I take get crushed then 🙂

  14. @elitemindset9581 on August 28, 2025 at 8:19 am

    If creatine has any effect on the mitochondria, then yes, it would have an ergonomic effect on your workout.

  15. @RatelHBadger on August 28, 2025 at 8:21 am

    I take my dose with my premix at 6:30 every morning before a 5k run. So even on days I don’t run, it’s still part of my "wake up" routine.

  16. @Nigel-p8m on August 28, 2025 at 8:23 am

    Creatine didnt do shit for me. Made me bloated and thats it

  17. @barefooterin2817 on August 28, 2025 at 8:23 am

    This was a super useful confirmation of how I’ve already been doing it. 🙌🏼

  18. @Joe-w6p1y on August 28, 2025 at 8:24 am

    I take it before a workout

  19. @joewoodfin1642 on August 28, 2025 at 8:27 am

    I just don’t like taking something that I have to rely on, it’s scared me a little bit

  20. @bobbondarul7448 on August 28, 2025 at 8:27 am

    Can you take it with food ?
    Or only fluids?
    Thanks

  21. @babetweirdgirl4103 on August 28, 2025 at 8:28 am

    Thank you

  22. @shawnm2113 on August 28, 2025 at 8:29 am

    10g breakfast, 10g before bed.
    Doesn’t matter, who cares, just get it in.

  23. @TristianDean-p5q on August 28, 2025 at 8:30 am

    This dude is fat and giving advice 😂

  24. @DK.448 on August 28, 2025 at 8:30 am

    I’m a little confused with creatine. It’s exploded on to my feed and I’ve watched a tonne of videos on it. (Probably therein lies my problem).

    Should I take a scoop of it neat or add to warm water? Can I mix with a post workout / lunchtime protein shake or take with a meal that has some carbs? Empty stomach matters when taking creatine? I take marine collagen powder with camu camu (vit c) with water first thing in the morning upon waking before my workout on the rebounder – can I add the creatine to that and take altogether?

    I’m a female. Recently started lifting weights (squats, bp, deadlifting) sometimes in the afternoon or in the evening but not regularly as I have a lot of stress in my life and not sleeping or eating as well as I know I should (going through the divorce process).

    So that I can best incorporate the creatine in to my life as I get a new daily routine going, how and when should I take it? Better still, how and when does Dr Krystal take hers?

    Tia!

  25. @jebbush2527 on August 28, 2025 at 8:31 am

    I take it whenever tbh

  26. @c.g.7144 on August 28, 2025 at 8:32 am

    Yes for muscular performance, but they are finding there IS an acute effect of high doses on cognitive abilities.

  27. @ManBehindTheMask on August 28, 2025 at 8:35 am

    I just have it in my black coffee every morning

  28. @traphouse5982 on August 28, 2025 at 8:36 am

    creatine is already in your body it’s nothing but water weight I use to take it before I worked out

  29. @TuTuBo1055 on August 28, 2025 at 8:36 am

    I’ve seen Doctors say that Creatine is good for your Brain for mental focus and jet lag.

  30. @Krmyas on August 28, 2025 at 8:37 am

    So you are saying it DOES do diddily dick. Sweet.

  31. @joneastelow3242 on August 28, 2025 at 8:37 am

    Washes down well with a bottle of Bud also.😂

  32. @chilledmonkeybrains6199 on August 28, 2025 at 8:38 am

    Even with diabetics?

  33. @dawnwhittle2004 on August 28, 2025 at 8:39 am

    Is it true that creatine is beneficial for women even if i dont lift weights etc?

  34. @CARLOSRUIZ-pe3mo on August 28, 2025 at 8:39 am

    muscletech creatine 6000-es was the best before workout big pumps

  35. @RedHardcore7 on August 28, 2025 at 8:40 am

    .

  36. @jakhtar73 on August 28, 2025 at 8:40 am

    Creatine makes me tired every time. No dice for me 🙁

  37. @superfit60 on August 28, 2025 at 8:41 am

    Creatine is also excellent for brain health too, as we age, creatine declines… keep rockin the creatine… its safe… make sure you get it from a good company and it is 100%, lots of sham supplement companies out there

  38. @ozbekfahri on August 28, 2025 at 8:41 am

    Taking it before workout makes my muscles to blow up. I only take 5 grams

  39. @MMMM-cc9ko on August 28, 2025 at 8:41 am

    You don’t take creatine… you leave it alone… it’s not that serious.

  40. @LusitanianSteamShovel on August 28, 2025 at 8:42 am

    when you’re wearing a leotard and looking in the mirror

  41. @Trapahbitchrudy624 on August 28, 2025 at 8:43 am

  44. @imperialfam1 on August 28, 2025 at 8:45 am

    Exactly how much of an acute intake do I need to take to get my dick diddled?

  45. @BluBlu111 on August 28, 2025 at 8:46 am

    I take it before.. better pumps

  46. @henryklazer89 on August 28, 2025 at 8:46 am

    I have creative and whey every morning with my oats. I never forget that way

  47. @SteelSharpeningSteel on August 28, 2025 at 8:49 am

    What is the point? Is it like a balloon effect where if you stop taking it you start deflating like a balloon, so you must maintain your dosage?

  48. @ProfessorSzivacs on August 28, 2025 at 8:50 am

    …prof, you dont need carbs for the absorbtion… you need insulin… so whey protein with creatin its fine. 😉👍 Thanks you watching!

  49. @JoshDalgarno on August 28, 2025 at 8:51 am

    I take in the morning then after training when i sat with bcaa mad pumps

  50. @Ukcarpdiaries on August 28, 2025 at 8:51 am

    It does increase your head size though so get on the megamind protocol and take lots and tons of hell with being a pin head
