Does Creatine Monohydrate Work With Regards To Bodybuilding?

Does it actually work as im trying to gain some more size, but there seems to be quite a lot of conflicting opinions.

Musashi is the highest quality and safest stuff but is the most expensive. However i get it off ebay (cheap postage like 20 bucks if in same country) 4 kg lasts me a year and it costs 120 bucks. It is brilliant not just for protein but it gives so much energy in general.

I would take it to start off as it will be a big help.I am 20 and have been going to the gym for three years. I took whey protein all they way up to about 5 months ago. I wasn't hardcore with it, i took it with milk once of twice a day. It was brilliant stuff not only did it help my muscles after the gym but it gave me so much energy it was ridiculous. I was having 5 teaspoons a day so not that much if you compare it to what they suggest (which is like 12 teaspoons a day). I took the best stuff which is musashi it actually tastes good and is the best one out there. However at the start of this year i was feeling queezy all day and felt like iw as going to throw up the entire day but i never did. Dad suggested i stop taking the stuff and a week later the feeling went away and it has not come back. So i think long term is probably bad but do it for a year to build up and you`ll be fine. It will definently speed the process up for you.

If of course you don't want it then do what i do now. Normal milk has 8 grams of protein a glass so i have 3 glasses a day. I have eggs usually with breakfast with an apple and bran type cereal, a proper dinner every night. But the most important thing is a proper lunch. Whatever i have for dinner the night before i get mum to make extra and have it for lunch the next day. This is excellent if going to the gym after breakfast etc. So make sure you do eat properly. In the end if you weigh 80 kilograms like me you want just over 160 grams of protein a day.

With the whole creatine thing
Creatine is a white powder that is good when going to the gym. You obtain about 2 grams of creatine per day from eating meat and you can take extra but should not take more than 8 grams per day. creatine provides direct energy to muscle cells in the body and utilzes a lot of water. it is for this reason that if you take to much you kidneys can be affected. If you take a ridiculous amount and you do not absorb it (sits in your digestive system) then your digestive systtem is flooded with water and it can make you sick in the stomach.

there are also other supplements such as phosphourous and nitrogen but unless you want to get real serious these are not necessary. Just remember not to take to much of anything.
