I take 5mg a day with no side effects. I think this and dietary fiber are probably the only supplements worth taking. I have yet to find another supplement that has any noticeable effect but I’m happy to try if people have recommendations.

IMO The best supplements to any lifestyle are

* 2-3 days a week strength training

* 1-2 days a week of cardio

* Good sleep schedule

* creatine

* dietary fiber

* positive attitude even if you have to fake it some days (this is the hardest supplement imo)

At least that’s my belief.



I agree and I do all that as well. I started with the creatine a few years ago and have never had any issues which is why I was wondering if, for the people who experience them, the amount causes the stomach issues or the brand or just the creatine of any kind.


Yes I definitely have heard from others that they don’t agree with the cheap creatine but like the expensive stuff isn’t that expensive. Like I think I pay like 30€ for a couple months worth. I think people really undervalue what a good strength training and cardio routine does for you. It really helps control anxiety, keep me sleeping well, and helps me focus at work, as well as have a hang out spot with other people who come regularly. And it’s like 4-5 hours a week tops. Highly recommended.
