Hi! Bodybuilding much?

It's a great effort to put in time and energy to make.the body healthy and look good and muscular. At the same time the duration and the goals to be set are to be done wisely. Never hurry for a huge muscular body. It takes its time. Your son is on Creatine HCL that helps muscle growth. It's not natural and obviously will have a few side effects. It is always adviced to never cross the recommended dosage.

The complaints are typical of muscle.cramps where it draws water out of the muscle. The person consuming this should be adequately hydrated. The side effects are minimal when taken in recommended dosages.
