Subject: Re: Carnitine: Feeling of nausea but no water retention
I have also suffered from nausea while taking creatine. The only way I could
ingest the creatine was to do so after eating some food. I had the nausea
if I ingested as little as 5mg per dose. I must admit that the FIRST time
I took creatine I was extremely pleased with the ten pounds of lean muscle
mass I gained. I gained this during a one month period. The question that
I would like answered is this. During the first cycle of creatine I gained
ten pounds. I waited three months and took creatine again and gained two
pounds over the next four weeks. I waited another six months and took creatine
again and gained nothing. Do you get diminishing results after the first
initial weight gain? Have other athletes also faced the same problem?
I am looking for something like creatine which will assist in lean muscle
growth without making me fatter. Any insight would be appreciated.
