I drink plenty of water... at least 3 to 5 liters a day...
Regarding the creatine and why I take it daily... I follow the standard research-backed advice: just hit 5g every single day instead of doing those tedious loading phases. It seems to be the consensus on most fitness forums, too...
If I only take it three times a week on my training days, I won't actually reach saturation within 30 days, will I?
I have a few questions regarding the creatine and whey protein I started taking exactly seven days ago...
I’ve been working out at home for about a year now, and I finally decided to add creatine and whey to the mix. I picked up some creatine from Gold's Gym; the guy at the gym claimed the raw ingredients were top-tier, so I figured, why not? My first issue is that this stuff won't dissolve in water to save its life. I’ve been doing 5g daily instead of a loading phase, but even after sitting in water for 20 minutes, there's zero dissolution. It’s like drinking liquid plastic.
As for the whey, I got it from MuscleTech. I take it post-workout with glucose and creatine, and on rest days, I usually take my creatine about two hours after a meal. I also stir half a scoop of whey into my morning oatmeal and milk.
But here’s the real issue: since Monday, I’ve been feeling really strange in my head. It’s like this mild dizziness combined with a weird pressure. It’s hard to describe, honestly. I’ve never felt anything like this before, so I can't help but wonder if it's linked to the supplements, especially since I started everything Sunday evening and the symptoms kicked in the very next day. Regardless, I’m going to stop taking them and see what happens.
Even today, after having my oats and half a scoop of whey for breakfast, I noticed that about two hours later, that strange sensation in my head returned.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
