Not all creatine products cause water retention and bloat, no. You just have to know which products do not. And generally creatine on its own does NOT do this, as, while it causes INTRAcellular water (i.e. the 'pumped' look) it does NOT cause extracellular water (i.e. the "bloat" look).
If you're lean using creatine should not make a difference in how you look.
If you want more muscle, then be prepared to gain some fat with it, though, as to gain muscle you need to be eating for it and such a diet means that fat will be added.
As far as creatine products, my top 3 recommendations are:
1. NeoVar Recomped
2. Cre-02
3. Kre-Alkalyn

Kre-Alkalyn does not cause water retention. The higher PH of Kre-Alkalyn also allows for better absorbtion of creatine by the body.

No creatine will take you above full saturation. Once you have saturation of the cells they will not hold more. Yes there are studies for AAEFX Kre-Alkalyn. Here is the link:

With AAEFX Kre-Alkalyn you get all the effects of creatine wihtout the water retention. - 10-21-2009, 02:36 PM
Creatine does not even go near FAT cells. Creatine undoubtedly causes water retention (i.e. intracellular), but personally I think that creatine bloat is a myth, as INTRAcellular water is water retention and EXTRAcellular water causes 'water bloat'. And I have used MANY creatine products from just creatine to products that have other effects and I have used many different creatine types. However, as I said, everyone reacts differently and others may experience the "bloat"; you just have to try a product for yourself.

I heard and let me know if its true or not:
We all know creatine creates alot of water weight as it develops the growth of muscles. If someone would keep up their body temperature throughout a creatine cycle such as by going into saunas constantly, wearing alotta clothes, keeping warm near fires, etc. but still busted their culo in the gym and ate right, would they lose the water retention while still gain the much desired muscle growth?! - 10-27-2009, 05:40 PM
