My bodybuilder friends take it year round. My understanding on creatine is that your body needs X grams/day and whatever it can’t get from your diet it gets from the supplement, but the supplements won’t suppress your absorption and processing from food. It’s more like a vitamin supplement in terms of effect. The hair thing is 99% likely to just be an itchy scalp tbh
Yeah, I mean my understanding was that you normally make it yourself, and if you didn’t have any you wouldn’t be able to generate any energy anaerobically from stored reserves but if you had too much you’d burn more fat reserves than you needed to so your body biased “too little” as a bigger problem than “too much” but still eventually homeostatically reflexed on it, so once a month you went off for a week to scare your body back into bringing its own production back up after 3 weeks of elevation (in the first week, hyper-dosing, to get your blood level high and then the next weeks less to maintain it). This was kind of general knowledge circa 2008 or so, I’m certainly willing to accept that advancing, though.
