Creatine helps to retain water in muscles though?
The other word for that is bloating. I'm not sure why you'd want that normally, cells already regulate for their optimal water content by drinking enough water.
I could understand the logic of it for a marathon runner and such but studies have shown it has no notable benefit in races so if that is a benefit it's washed out by other factors.
Also, by all accounts that effect either goes away after a couple weeks of use or progresses into an actual problem.
