Testosterone is produced by the testes under the influence of LH, which is secreted by the pituitary gland. So they are 2 completely separate items. If you want to boost testosterone, there are herbs (tribullis terrestris) which boost the production of LH from the pituitary gland.<br><b>References : </b><br> No. Creatine is used by the muscles as a small term energy store.

Robbie is absolutely right, the side effect of creatine is dehydration, easily remedied by drinking, because on a basic level, creatine floods the muscles with water, which is where a lot of people see the size gains from. This water is obviously drawn from the system, so you need to top up your reserves. Drink a good 3 or 4 pints more than normal.<br><b>References : </b><br> Right, to make a long subect small, no, there’s unquestionably no link to testosterone and creatine.

Drink a excellent 3 or 4 pints more than habitual.

No study has shown creatine to cause women to take on masculine characteristics (body hair, breast reduction, etc.). Furthermore, there is no reasonable scientific theory to suggest it would. Women sometimes report being more affected (irritated) by the water weight gain associated with creatine supplementation. Other than that, the minor side effects reported seem to be similar between men and women -- water retention, possibly dehydration, and some research has suggested damage to liver and kidneys (I know of 2 people personally who have dealt with this). And, reported muscle cramps. Be sure to research creatine thoroughly before you consider injesting it on a regular basis.<br><b>References : </b><br>Certified personal trainer, 20 years exp.
