Creatine - Go or no go?
I have had Creatine in the past and it has given great results while bulking up. But the doctors just don't recommend going for it. Whey also has a mixed opinion from doctors, although my online and primary research said it is good to go, as long as you are not going above 2 scoops a day, again something I try to restrict to. YMMV. What has been your experience and research around creatine? I am in my mid 30s, hence if age is also a factor, happy to know more.

3gm per day is safe. You can take whey and creatinine as long as your creatinine and kft are ok.
Please have it
Creatine has a loading and unloading phase. It would be wise to take some break after your unloading phase, and then restart after sometime.
Keeping whey protein intake as 2 scoops everyday shouldn’t pose any health problem unless you are using fake whey supplements.
I am in my late 30s, and consuming 2 scoops of whey everyday. I had consumed creatine for 3 months straight, so have taken a break now. Will have the break for a month before I start consuming creatine again.
Hi, Being a vegetarian, have used creatine and it helps me to get stronger to lift weights. Creatine is not used for regular basis and i generally used in a cycle of 6-8 weeks & off for 4 weeks.
Now, For the doctor part, if you have any medical issue then probably don't recommend by doctor. So you can directly ask him the reason to not take creatine.
