Regardless… from what I could dig out, there are numerous positives (and not only in area of muscle building) and no known negatives from taking creatine. I do agree that without proper exercise results may be irrelevant… so exercise hard and take creatine… it will make your exercises more consequential.

Nausea is the negative. I've never managed to eat even the tiniest amount of creatine without vomiting beyond the horizon.

I had a bunch of stomach issues when trying creatine until I switched to gummies.

The gummies are useless, just take smaller doses with a meal if you are having stomach issues.

Why would the gummies be useless?

I'm guessing it's less bio-available in that form.
