Creatine holds water in your muscles right?
I need fast recovery. So glutamine?

Ditto. The consistency is like sand. I put a scoop in a small amount of water, stir it around, then down it in one gulp. Then I wash that down with a full glass of water. It's not enjoyable but it's bearable.RiCHC3 wrote: ↑ As a side note, I've used this for awhile and I think it's great.
You may get a sense of dehydration which inevitably may lead to headaches, be sure to UP your overall water intake. As mentioned already, stick with 5g a day and I personally blend it with a protein smoothie and slam it down. It doesn't dissolve in a satisfying way for me if you just mix it with a spoon.
For easy TLDR effects, skip down to "Human Data Matrix" which is based on studies.

And order of this I got back in January expires in Dec 2022, so I would imagine sometime in 2023 for this batch?

do you even lift? Or did you start taking this, sit on the couch and hoped for mad gains?z613 wrote: ↑ The first time I tried Creatine it gave me excruciating back and calf pain to a point i could barely walk.
