Also, creatine helps with muscle recovery. All of these side effects are extremely minimal, maybe a 1% increase in performance on the big scale of things, never the less, it is a good product considering what is available.

However, the most noticeable gains early-on are from water retention. Being that Creatine does help with strength gains, you WILL gain muscle mass as a result of using it.

As stated will help satiate the cells with water. If you look at how the body works, water is to your body like oil is to a car. So you will have over-all cleaner workouts. I've noticed an increase in strength after the soda was ditched completely. When cycling off creatine you will notice some strength loss, but over all, it will help with muscle growth.
