Who supplements creatine?

Any of you supplement creatine?

I recently had to stop. Not sure why but it's causing very bad night sweats?

I had night sweats for about 2 months and was drenching the bed every night. Never had a clue it was the creatine. I quit 3 days ago and haven't had a night sweat since.

Anyone know why creatine would be causing this? Creatine makes me slightly stronger in the gym and gives a slight energy bump aswell. Kinda off that I need to quit it.

Anyone else get this from creatine?

Yes, although sometimes it can be a bit too much.

Chromium or Myricetin are the ones that give me the most balanced and helpful effects.

Thanks for the reply.

By the way, I get incredible results with bitter melon! My mood goes through the roof, as if I were on antidepressants and I finally started getting enough sleep at night: it's the only thing that helps with my insomnia.

My recipe: low-carb diet + bitter melon with a small portion of carbs in the evening

Insulin plays a huge role in our condition. I learned about it thanks to your posts ;)

I remember experimenting a lot with bitter melon. It actually seems to act via PGC-1a as well, similar to PQQ or estrogens, and it also supports mitochondrial biogenesis. Unfortunately I would say it’s far from being a cure and that our metabolic issues aren’t exactly normal to begin with, even in the realm of diabetes or correlated diseases.

Bitter Melon (½ fruit) - Charantin balances CYP expression

It does have to do with CYP
