Currently on a clean bulk and supplementing with No xplode pre workout, usn whey protein post workout and a weightgainer (usn hyperbolic mass).
I'm considering buying some creatine monohydrate but am not sure if it is neccessary considering the fact that no xplode contains about 1.5g creatine per scoop and the weightgainer has about 5000mg per serving.
Would the extra 5g daily creatine dose be too much, meaning it would not be absorbed by my body? Also would there be further health problems associated with this i.e kidney/liver damage?

Top donkey.

As long as you drink enough you shouldn't damage your kidneys but you may give yourself diarrhea (ie; creatine is osmotically active, in excess it may not be absorbed drawing water into the gut lumen).



FYI:

Arginine/NO supplements are practically useless and a waste of money.

Branded whey protein is significantly more expensive than unbranded, and before you ask no it isn't "better".

Weight gainers are just cheap protein supplements bulked out with sugars, you'd be far better off increasing portion sizes at mealtimes or loading up on peanut butter on toast/crackers/apple (ie; higher in protein, higher in fibre, more vitamins & minerals, cheaper).
