Creatine supplementation requires more research??!!

Creatine and Protein are by far the best supplements available around. A number of clinical trial studies are available which support the intake of Creatine during high intensity exercise. Creatine is being researched since the last 6 years and no long term side effects have surfaced. America is the leading consumer of creatine products and the writer having obtained her degree in nutrion from Texas ought to have at least indicated why she doubts creatine. Creatine has also shown to induce hyperplasia. Also, vegetarians will respond very well to creatine as their diet lacks this substance. And there are no magic pills. Any other brand of creatine would work.
I feel this article could have been more comprehensive. A 1000 cals extra per day will lead to fat gain. No more than 500 extra cals should be consumed per day.
Most importantly, you CAN work six days a week to grow big. The reader Rahul was wrong about this. You do not need to train to failure and your CNS will not be fatigued. The old school methods for hardgainers were developed through trial and error. Spacing your workouts and taking off days isn't mandatory.
