Too Much Cholesterol? + How Much Creatine?
Q:
Hello Brad,I love your “Mass Confusion” article. I was wondering if you could assist me on an issue. I am not gaining weight (stopped growing in size) and I purchased Cytogainer. Is the high cholesterol content dangerous? Have I thrown my money away?
Also Cytogainer is high in Creatine (3g ) and I also use NO-Explode. Is that too much Creatine?
Many thanks and keep up the great writings.

Hi Roy,
Thanks for the kind words regarding my article. To answer your question: Yes, 150mg which is 51% of your daily value is a bit much. If you find yourself a little worried about your cholesterol I would either find another protein to buy or consult your doctor. Even though there is new research surrounding eggs (in moderation) and how they have little effect on your blood cholesterol levels I would still be cautious.
On the subject of creatine, 3 grams is actually not a high amount. Most research currently suggests that 3-5 grams pre and post training is what is usually required to have an effect.
Good luck,
Brad
