my opinion on Creatine
I almost got into the creatine thing, UNTIL i went to get a check up with our family Dr. Now this guy is a combat medic who has served tours in afghanistan so he is a pretty no nonsense guy. I asked him about the creatine supplement and he just looked at me with this "you are an idiot" look. What he told me was that even though creatine does assist in muscle recovery it ALSO has the potential to do harm to your HEART. He explained that when the muscle cells are loaded with water so to is your HEART MUSCLE Loaded with it. He said that he has had a few patients who have had some heart trouble,relatively young guys like me in their 30's and 40's. when they stopped using the creatine the heart troubles went away.
I mean in my humble opinion if you want to recover from workouts and build muscle,eat a Good diet, lots of water,SLEEP at least 8 hrs a night, and get regular massage therapy to assist in the flushing out of metabolic wastes that are created during intense workouts or workouts in general. I have been doing sports massage for a while now and have seen the benefits of it on marathon runners and tri-atheletes.

It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.
