And apparently if you make mice consume the equivalent of their bodyweight in creatine it can cause liver or kidney disfunction. It probably would cause you to have liver problems if you were forced to eat your bodyweight in...anything. It should be safe...it has been taken for years and years by teens and there has never been shown to be serious adverse side effects.
That glutamine was a waste of money. Bioavailability of glutamine from oral supplementation is...not good. If I were you, I would get GNC's Mass XXX and 250g of creatine monohydrate. Take half of the recommended serving of the Mass XXX for your post workout shake and add 5g of creatine. That will give you a great ratio of carbs/protein & your creatine. I think that's your best bet. Oh btw, I work at GNC also.

Thank you so much
You working at GNC and telling me this is good proof for my mom to hear. Why the hell was that woman telling me wrong?
