Creatine

[myles]

I am not on HRT yet and am trying to bulk up, creatine seems to be the possible answer to my request. Unfortunately I can't   find good opinions on how it really affects females (as in females who have actually taken it). WHat I can find is references suggesting female formula creatine, unfortunatley it was made so females would not have some of the side affects of creatine (like bulking up) so that is out of the question.
So has anyone used this as a muscle builder? If so what has been you experience? I plan on passing on the loading phase as I really don't want to take that much if the jury is still out if it really makes a difference. I also take several other supplements so I am trying to keep it at as little as possible.
Thanks
Myles
