Howdie guys and girls,

Just curious to see if anyone is having/or had similar symptons that I'm having at the moment. I've been taking Glutamine and Creatine almost every day for the past 2 months and I'm starting to think it is really having a negative effect on my sex drive.

I'm usually very sexually active and need to get my 'fix' ( ;)) everyday, but in the last month or so i haven't felt like having sex at all...

I am now going to have a month off from Creatine, I am hoping this will boost my sex drive again.

Could this be down to the supplements I am taking, or maybe it is all the effort I am putting in at the gym...? I have also changed my diet drastically since January (much more protein) but I have no idea whether this would effect me sexually...

Any help/comments appreciated! Don't be shy!

I have seen a change in a negative way. :confused:

I don't think there's been any mention of these side effects before. :confused:

Are you experiencing anything else? Fatigue, irritability, hair loss? The only thing I can think of is that your testosterone levels are being affected. That's just a possibility, and probably a small one chance of it as well.

Have you cut out almost all fat in your diet? Could it be stress?

Nope, haven't seen any other type of sympton, there is a good amount of fat in my diet and i'm far from stressed/depressed in any way...

I've noticed that now when I'm training, my sexdrive isn't as strong as it used to be when I didn't work out.
I only take whey, but I don't think that that is affecting my sexdrive.
It could maybe be the diet I'm on. :(

actually, I'd say that I experience the opposite.

I've been on creatine for almost two weeks, and I have been insatiable lately. I was not a daily before, but now, I could go morning and night if the "gatekeeper" would let me by. ;)

I'd guess that your diet or overall energy level are areas to inspect.
