This is definitely the best video I have ever watched on creatine. Thankyou for acknowledging all of these side effects and explaining the biochemical reactions so clearly, makes sense regarding bloating and digestion and especially hair loss. Creatine makes my muscles look great. I notice it helps my strength training a lot but unfortunately it causes hair loss so can’t take it for that reason!

I don't get any creatine side effects. And as far as I can tell, I'm not even sure I get any of the benefits either.

I’m struggling with a chronic disease and just a few days ago discovered that exogenous creatine spares endogenous methyl groups. That is amazing that Felix provides so deep information! So glad to find this channel.

it was the dry mouth that was the deal breaker for me

Thanks for mentioning insomnia. It's extremely rare that any influencers talk about this problem, but it is frequently discussed and dismissed at length in online forums. Also worth mentioning that the same studies are showing up to 1 in 3 people are creatine supplement non-responders so there's likely a ton of people wasting money on it, or suffering the side effects for no reason

so in theory if creatine increases DHT then it can also increase your PSA score!

I get kidney pain from creatine. But everyone just insists it's not harmful for the liver, while I'm undoubtedly experiencing the opposite.
