What About Water Retention?

Water retention is one of the most misunderstood parts of creatine. Some people hear the phrase and assume it means bloating, puffiness, or fake results. In reality, creatine helps pull water into muscle cells, which can support a fuller look in trained muscles.That doesn't mean creatine creates glute growth without exercise. It also doesn't mean every change you see is body fat or sudden muscle size.

Who Should Be Careful With Creatine?

Creatine is widely used, but it is still a supplement. If you have a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have been told to monitor kidney health, talk with a healthcare professional before starting creatine supplementation. People with lupus or other autoimmune conditions should ask their doctor or specialist before adding creatine.That isn't meant to make creatine sound scary.
