I am 30yrs & have started wt training since the last 20 days.
I read abt creatine here at FT & this is the first time I'm taking creatine.

Currently I'm in the loading phase (3rd day)
I drink more than 5 litres of water a day during loading.

However I notice drowsiness , burping & uneasiness immediately after taking creatine powder.This feeling lasts for half an hour or sometimes more.
What could it be due to? Anyone else have any probs with creatine intake?

Thx in advance!

*I'm an IT professional & have sedentary work thruout the day.

What are you mixing it with? Juice or water? I found my side effects (stomach issues) while loading were due to mixing it with juice. Could be the same thing that's going on for you, as well.

Do a search for "creatine" there have been loads of posts regarding it.
