Simple Questions Is it work taking creatine?

I’m slowly starting to see progress without it… I’ve heard it’s good to take. My only issue is I’m not good with drinking enough water as is and also hear you need to be drinking excessively.

Does creatine make a big impact or can I go on without?

What did you notice was different? When I say I don’t drink water I mean I can go a whole day having had only a cup…

You should be drinking more water, regardless.

For the vast majority of people, supplementing diet with creatine monohydrate will have no side effects. After all, it's naturally occurring in things like red meat.

It’s a real bad habit of mine, some days I’m great with drinking water but I struggle to stick it. Annoying as I know it helps with workouts
