Last week, while I was mixing my post-workout shake, some dude approached me and asked what I just dropped in there. Once I spoke the dreaded word 'creatine,' I saw the life leave his face. It's almost as if I said it was heroin mixed with steroids mixed with nuclear waste because he was literally having a panic attack explaining to me the science behind how bad it is for you.
Yeah, well my friend told me it causes water retention and you could blow up like a balloon.
I love hearing these responses. Especially the ones about creatine being a steroid. That's like saying whey protein is a steroid, and every small child drinking cafeteria milk is on a cycle. But, believe it or not, creatine is the most researched, most effective, and safest supplement on the market.
