Creatine Questions

Nutrition Q&A [Moderated]

Jordan,

Two questions on creatine.

  1. Is there a realistic way to determine if you are a “non-responder”?

  2. I have tried every kind of creatine from bulk stuff to creatine that was filtered through grass fed virgins and it makes my stomach hurt. The only thing I ever could tolerate was this krealkylyn stuff. I am pretty sure you said it was BS to take other kinds of creatine. Is it not bothering me perhaps because it ISN’T really creatine?

Do you have any other thoughts?

Thank you!

I suppose a muscle biopsy isn’t feasible for most, but you could swing that, right?

Try some creatine HCl- see how that works. Krealkalyn is shit.

3

I thought if it makes you gain a couple lbs-kilos of water weight then you are responding?

4

Not really, no.

5

Will Do! Is there any supplement brand you recommend (besides PeriRx of course!)

6

Whey, Vitamin D, and caffeine as needed.

Might be another performance supp I’m working on given new evidence I’ve gathered

Hi, Jordan. I have a question about creatine non-responders. I’ve been taking creatine for years, but I suspect I could be a non responder (lower cross-sectional muscle and type 2 fibers). Examine.com suggests people who suspect they could be non-responders take 10 grams a day. Is there any truth to this? And is creatine even worth taking if I suspect I’m a non responder?

thank you for your time.
