I Tried Creatine for 30 Days

Creatine has been reported to increase muscle mass, improve strength, speed up recovery, and, according to some studies, even treat depression. Intrigued by these potential benefits, I decided to take creatine for 30 days to see if there was any truth to these claims. Here's a detailed account of my month-long experiment.

Day Zero: The Starting Point

This is how my body looked at the start of the experiment. I weighed in at 160 lb. With my measurements recorded, I was ready to take creatine for the first time.

Week 1: Initial Impressions

I took the daily recommended amount of 5 grams of creatine. It takes a while for the body to absorb creatine, so I didn't start noticing any significant benefits until about 8 days later. However, I could see that my physique was beginning to get Fuller, and my arms were more vascular compared to the past weeks. Some days I felt stronger, but on other days, I wondered if the effects were just a placebo.

Day 20: Notable Changes

By day 20, I had more energy towards the end of my workouts, which I didn’t have before. This extra energy allowed me to get more reps in during my exercises. The physical changes were becoming more noticeable as well.

Day 30: Final Results

After 30 days of taking creatine, I weighed in at 167 lb, a 7-pound increase from my starting weight. My physique had definitely improved. This was the final dose of creatine for the experiment.

Overall, my experience with creatine was positive. I observed increased muscle mass and strength, quicker recovery times, and more endurance during workouts.
