Ok, my diet is ok key, I take fish oil, flax oil, regular protein, and many good foods and I record them and stuff, every thing is good, and now my dad took the creatine becuase he thinks that it is a steroid, I am just starting this thread for my dad to read so please tell him exactly what it is. Thank you!

Hey, my mum thought it was a steroid at first but then I explained to her and she's fine about it.
Maybe he can read about it Creatine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

creatine is natrually found in meat, though, in very small doses. Its energy for your muscles, with it you can endure more training. Creatine caries a phosphate (SP?) group and gives that to ADP (which then has two phosphate groups) so it then has 3 phosphate groups and becomes ATP, which is what is used in your muscles.

This is really just me showing off my super skills the article probobly got it all covered!

so just to verify. this is NOT a steroid or a closest thing to a steroid and it shouldnt make me stupid. my dad thinks all of this because of what his friend said.

It is not a steroid nor does it act like one in the body. Nor Is it essential for hypertrophy, its more of an "Aid". So if your dad still wont let you use it then don't fret.

hold on everybody, how old are you buddy?

because there is no way a kid of mine under 18 is taking this or protien suppliements.
they are not steroids, and unnatural, but they are not found in such quanties either.
now we seriously need to be asking how old you are, for your old man to take it away from you. because being under 18 ur body isnt full matured.... i dont want to point out the bleed obvious to everyone.

how old are you buddy?
K

I am only 17 and I use creatine..........

These past 2 months I have never been healthier

Actually Creatine P is actually already produced in the body, that is why if you take the supplement you will be inceasing the amount and therefore the greater potential to synthesize ATP for quick fast actvities such as weightlifting.

exactly. Creatine P is energy, so to speak. And why on earth would a protein suppliment damage anyone whos body has not fully matured? Do you refuse all your kids to eat protein?

thanks u guys he read this and the one on t-nation and gave it bak gah... lol
