If you're an endurance athlete, taking magnesium-creatine might help your muscles hold more water, which could mean better creatine absorption and possibly help your muscles grow or recover faster.

Taking magnesium with creatine might help endurance athletes get stronger muscle power, like how hard you can push or pull at your peak.

Taking creatine supplements pulls water into your muscles, making them look bigger, but it might also mess with how well they work by stretching the muscle fibers.

Taking creatine helps your muscle cells soak up more water, making them swell a bit—and this swelling tells your body to stop breaking down muscle as much.

If you're a guy who lifts weights, taking creatine for 8 weeks can help you gain muscle and hold more water inside your muscle cells — but the water doesn't increase more than the muscle does, so it's not just 'bloating' — it's real growth.

Taking creatine supplements may help your muscles store more glycogen, which is like a sugar reservoir, and since glycogen holds onto water, your muscles end up holding more water too.
