Creatine draws water into muscle cells, which can increase scale weight by a few pounds but not cause visible puffiness.
Fitness coach Eric Roberts explains that creatine-induced water retention occurs inside muscle cells, not under the skin.
Bloating from creatine is often due to usage mistakes, such as inadequate hydration or improper dosing.
Creatine helps regenerate ATP, boosting energy and performance during high-intensity workouts.
Proper creatine use supports muscle growth and definition, with muscles looking fuller rather than bloated.
