Hello,
I exercise casually, 2-3 days a week due to my busy schedule. I was off for 3 months with very bad lifestyle, no time to eat food and lots of physical activities. Recently I decided to start again. With goal to gain mass, I decided to go for mass gainer which comes with creatine monohydrate from a reputed brand at my place. Every scoop contains 5gm of creatine, taking its two scoop (60 gm each) a day means I have 10gm of creatine going inside and has 1:3 protein carb ratio. Last time I took creatine was many years ago and so that is not first time
The thing is that, though I am coming from 3 months off, but within a week I found myself where I left, I feel so energetic and powerful and also gained around 5lbs in 2 weeks. This got me worried, is it effect of creatine with proper diet or its that I am being fed with steroid adultred supplement ?
I am 28 now and have low test , generally falls on average of 3, I got my total testosterone done yestearday , found 3.96 ngml.
I am taking this supplement for more than 2 weeks.
I don't want to sound paranoid but whats your views regarding following:
1. Can creatine give you dramatic effects if you are taking it after a very long time and sedentary lifestyle ?
2. Say, if someone is taking medium dose of oral steroid, how much it can affect person's T level in 2 weeks ?
Excuse me if my question sounds stupid but advice and views are appreciated.
