Andrew Lessman’s Creatine

I bought it recently…and am a bit trepidatious about it.

Does anyone on this forum use it and if so how has it made you feel? I know about the ‘hard to dissolve’ issue as I read some reference to that on the reviews.

I’m curious to hear how you, your body, your energy levels are – do you observe any differences? Do you have any negative side effects? Are you retaining fluid?

Can you tell I’m nervous about it? It’s supposed to be excellent for an aging brain and give the consistent user more overall energy during workouts.

Just hoping to chat about it. Thank you.

@jsmine

So kind of you to reply, getting feedback from users of this product is extremely valuable.

I figured anyone on this forum that buys and uses AL products would be the best folks to ask.

I appreciate people taking the time to help me, HSN peeps are the best. The kinship is real.

@rustythedog,

Thank you for the response. I’m past menopause also (soon to be 64). I have made a decision to begin taking 3 grams daily starting January 1st. I’ll take half (1.5) in the morning – I will use my immersion blender. adding it to my small protein shake I take all my AL Vitamins with…then enjoy my coffee after I drink that….

About 2:30pm, I’ll take the other half (1.5) adding it to another small protein shake. The small shakes taken twice a day should buffer the belly. I’ll also drink more water – thus maybe helping to cut down on the bloat I heard some folks experience when they first begin taking creatine.

My overall plan is to start taking the 5 gram (the dose most folks take) on April 1st, after 3 full months of taking it. I’ll do the half doses twice daily. If I can’t tolerate it I’ll gift the unused powder to my neighbor – he takes this stuff and should appreciate a big ol container of it.

  I’ve been taking AL Creatine for 5 months now, and scoop every morning in my coffee along with AL Collagen Peptide and have had absolutely no side effects. I also take about 8 other AL supplements.
  I started with one scoop every other morning for two weeks and now take daily.

Yes, Karen, me too.
I bought the Creatine for the first time and have been taking on and off for two weeks. In the beginning, I have experienced a mild belly ache, so I stopped a couple of days , then start taking again (just one scoop in the morning). Lately, I noticed that I wake up around 4-5 AM with a soaking sweat in my chest area. I am a healthy individual who takes many A.L. vitamins.
I don’t know whether the creatine caused my night sweating, I am just curious about this new Vitamin. Dr. said, it could be a hormonal imbalance, like a hot flesh…. I am way passed that age. haha.
