creatine face bloat

[Franklinpoint]

Hey bros,
for some reason my face got slightly bloated while taking creatine, luckily I noticed on time, what do you suggest me to do guys? decrease my dosage or replace creatine with other supplements.

Creatine bloat is mostly due to people:
1. Using way too much creatine
2. Not drinking enough water.

If you are using a sensible dosage (5-10g per day) and drinking enough water throughout the day, you shouldn't experience any bloat.

Some people also experience bloating side effects from the artificial flavours/sweeteners added to flavoured creatine supplements.

Creatine is creatine. Don't waste your money on some heavily marketed creatine supplement that is going to cost 10x more but provide no additional benefits. Either get a bulk creatine monohydrate powder or a capsulated creatine supplement like ancient strength from n2bm.com.

A creatine supplement shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Ancient strength is around $15 for a 30 day supply.

maybe it is the fillers that are in it.. i see sugars, fillers, dyes in a lot of creatine brands. makes it taste and look good

what i recommend is ancient strength which has ONLY creatine in it.

What dosage did you take?

It can be a result of a few things:

-dosage is too high. Stick to 5-10g per day max. No need to load or cycle ever.
-your product is not pure creatine but contains fillers
-it has something to do with diet and not the supplement
