Can I Use Steam Room After Workouts, Along With Taking Creatine?
Hi, I am currently taking creatine to aid my workouts. I understand a part of taking this means an increase in body water. I was just wondering, if I was to use a steam room after workouts, would this just pretty much wipe out all the good that the creatine is doing to my body? Thanks, Ben.

Hi
You can take steam bath but you must keep your hydration status well by taking plenty of fluids at least 4-5 litres per day as creatine being anabolic requires proper renal hydration for its removal. There is no effect of steam on creatine absorption / distribution in body.
Take care
