Could Redness And Puffiness In Eyes Be Caused By Taking Creatine?
Hi. I am 17 years old and i have recently just taken some creatine because in into bodybuilding/fitness a lot and thought this would help me out. But today i have just got home and my mum noticed that my face is rather red, mainly under the eyes and i am also a little bit bloated? ( A bit puffy) Would this be caused by creatine? I have only taken it for about 3/4 sessions.
Thank you for your time and I'm looking foward for your reply.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are using creatine for body build up. the muscles look big, but not with the strength to that size. Any how they may gain strength, it is not sure.
There are side effects like pigmentation, etc with the heigher doses. With normal dosage, they are not seen.
So if at all you want to continue it , reduce the dose and observe, for few days.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
