Misconception : The major myths of creatine are:
1. Creatine causes hair loss.
2. Creatine damage kidney.
3. Creatine causes over water retention.
Reality : Creatine is the most researched supplement. It is completely safe for consumption. Their is no scientific evidence of hair loss due to creatine. Some amount of water retention is usual as the water is being pulled by the muscles and its completely normal and safe.
Mass Gainer

1. Mass Gainers build muscle automatically.
2. Mass Gainers can replace meals.
3. Mass Gainers are unhealthy.
Reality : Mass Gainer according to me is not a worthy supplement as it helps to increase calories and protein but protein supplement could be cheaper and better. Gainers only works as a tool to gain weight but you still have to do workout and proper hardwork. Gainer is for those who are very skinny and need weight gain (not lean muscle) in a shorter period of and are completely safe for consumption.
