creatine
im a high school football player, and ive been on the fence about this for awhile.
i wondered if i should. about half of my friends do it and like it and the other half say it messes you up...
so just wondering.
i've tried to do research about it, and it seems fine but most of that research was done on GNC.com so i doubt i can trust that.
yes, no, maybe so.

I like creatine
Creatine is found naturally in meat and fish, and creatine supplements have a long track record in terms of safety.
I won't say it's necessary, or that you'll get steroid-like benefits from using it. But you should get some benefits, with virtually no risk.

Creatine plus protein ...
I'm not out to pimp supplements here. I just think we have pretty good reason to believe that protein powders and creatine, separately or together, are useful and safe.
Where they fall on the cost-benefit spectrum is really up to each individual.
For me, it was really fun and motivating to see my strength numbers go up 10 percent in a couple of weeks after loading with creatine. But I've never been particularly good at power lifts, so we're talking about an average of 20 pounds per lift. Even for a middle-aged guy, that's pretty unimpressive ... unless you happen to be that middle-aged guy.
Like I said, I got a kick out of it.

creatine for your brain
There's some really exciting research going on at McMaster University. They've been using creatine on patients with muscle-wasting diseases. I don't know what the latest findings are, but the short-term trials were promising, IIRC.
