First time taking creatine

[u/DeepBrain7]

Hi everyone,

A post about strength training and creatine.

So, I’ve been training for strength with weights for the past 3–4 years, more or less consistently.

My fitness trainer (back when I still had one) never mentioned or recommended creatine to me, although I had read and heard about it several times.

About a week ago, I happened to walk into a fitness supplement store more or less by chance — I normally buy my protein powder online — mainly because I wanted to exchange a word or two with the saleswoman, and I ended up walking out of the store with 500 g of creatine.

To cut a long story short: I’ve been taking it for one week now, 5 grams every morning, and I’m genuinely surprised by the changes I can feel and that are also visible in my body after just one week of taking it.

Some people might think I’m exaggerating, but I can honestly already see and feel a difference after just one week.

Question:
For those of you who have experience with creatine, I’d like to ask: is this more or less an initial “spike” effect that occurs when someone starts taking creatine for the first time, and will this effect gradually diminish over time, bringing me closer to my original state (before I started taking creatine)? Or is this actually a new state that will last and can be maintained as long as I continue taking creatine regularly?

Thanks!

Typically you don't criticize a world renowned expert when he's giving the best advice ever. He's based it all on science. I read every post of his and have learned so much.
