Creatine turn to fat?

[][v][ichae][_]

If you take creatine now, and down the road, maybe 5 years or so, you stop working out. Does creatine turn to fat. What happens if you take creatine and you dont work our certain areas because of injury. Also do your muscles shrink when you stop taking creatine. Ive heard a lot of rumors about this and they dont make much sense.

no, creatine will not turn into fat.

Thats is stupid, creatine does not turn into fat. It is a small energy source the body uses to create ATP. After about 7-10days of not taking creatine it will leave the body excet for the small ammount you get from food.

do you loose any muscle when u stop using creatine

Creatine supplementation has the effect of sautrating the creatine transporter, so that more will be available for your muscles when they need it.

Some people report extra water retention when they start supplementing creatine. This usually wears off in a few weeks. You will most likely lose no size when you go off. If you do, it's just water, not muscle.
