In this concise monologue, Eric Roberts explains that discontinuing creatine supplementation does not cause an immediate loss of muscle mass, but the creatine stored in muscle gradually depletes over a few weeks. During the first one to two weeks the change is subtle, but after that the user may notice reduced performance benefits: fewer extra repetitions, slower recovery, increased soreness, and a slower rate of strength gains. Despite the loss of these creatine‑related advantages, the muscle that was built while using creatine remains, and continued training will still produce gains, albeit at a reduced pace.
