X out the creatine and look into DHEA!

Answer 2

some people tend to break out when using creatine, other than that you might get some cramps or a bloated feeling. you should be loading up on creatine a couple times a day for the first couple days so its in the muscle fibers then just keeping it balanced throught the day with a couple grams a day btw. as for gnc mass i wouldnt go that route. try a lean protein so you dont have all that extra calories to make you fat. unless your going into football and want that extra fat. isopure makes a great protein.

The key ingredient to gaining muscle mass is to add lots of PROTEIN to your daily diet. You should have 1.0-1.5 grams of protein for each pound you weigh. Protein helps your body to build lean muscle after your workout. Speaking of workout, I would start with simple toning exercises (low weight/more reps) to get your muscles used to being worked. After about 2 weeks you can go to the strengthening exercises (high weight/low reps). This will break down your muscles fast and with all the protein in your diet, when they heal it will be solid lean muscle mass.

I would recommend you take creatine after your workout in your shake, this is because I have read that alot of people can be affected negatively if they take it before and it doesn’t help with their energy at all. Mix about 5grams of it with your whey protein and take it that way. The post workout shake is crucial and people mix in all sorts supplements together. Personally, I take 5g creatine, 50g protein, 30g carbs, and 3g L-Glutamine.

After your workout there is a window of opportunity for your diet. Your muscles and body is drained and so anything you consume is more likely to be absorbed and taken in by the muscles, this is when creatine is most affective and should have your muscles recharged and full of energy before your next workout.

I gained 9 pounds in 7 days doing this. And all together i've gained 23 pounds in 1.5 months.

No creatine product is FDA approved, but creatine is found natrually in meat and fish, so it's not like it's a roid or anything.

I would not recommend the mass builders, those has excess calories that you dont need.
