Man, I was going to start a thread about where to buy creatine. I used to find it helped me recover strongly and also gave me a boost in the gym...not very scientific I know. As I have recently started to reacquaint myself with the iron, I'd probably purchase creatine at the first opportunity I came across it. I vaguley remember a well respected gym owner back home telling me that creatine had some negative side effects...what, I couldn't say.

Actually, the science and statistical studies about creatine have been corroborated.

Creatine plays a role in the liver.

IMHO, if you drink alcohol 2 or three times per week, I do not think you should use Creatine.
