Creatine produces energy

[self565]

From what i have read on the Muscle and Strength, Creatine provides energy, promotes protein synthesis, and helps with cell volume.


However, i have not found any articles on the effects of Creatine when cutting.


I was wondering... If cutting, can loading Creatine help maintain muscle? I have herd it can promote serious weight gain, so, would it be a bad idea to use Creatine while cutting? Lastly, what are Creatine's effects on strength gain while cutting?




Thanks!

Creatine is fine to use while cutting. It's not promoting any fat retention, rather the weight gain is from water being held in muscle tissue. That said, i don't know that it will do much to protect against muscle catabolism in a hard cut.

creatine does a lot of things man but remember it is already in our body and found in food. so taking more of it isn't going to be magic, but it will help. just get a reputable brand, n2bm sells ancient strength

Creatine works well with any goal.
