Does creatine give lasting gains after you stop using?

After extensive research on the Internet the information I found on this matter is 50/50. Some forums say it purely increases water retention and that gains are lost once you stop taking. Others say that it just rebuilds muscle quicker and causes no water retention, therefor once the cycle has been stopped you keep all the gains providing you continue with your training program. Has anyone had any first hand experience of this?

And the creatine in question is CreaPure, free from additives and maltosexterin (or something).

    In short, creatine provides more energy for the muscle. It can pull more water into the muscle that will dissappear after discontinued use. After many years of creatine use, i'd say it doesn't build muscle directly as a 'magic' powder, but it does help greatly with strength gains, with which muscle follows. But after you stop taking the creatine, any muscle you gained you will keep as long as you still train and eat right. Creatine is nothing like steroids though. If you want magic gains, pop a d-bol ;) or 5. hope i helped

    you will income as long as you're taking it. as quickly as you quit, you will lose in simple terms somewhat what you won, for the reason that a number of it rather is water-weight/income. rather of creatine you're able to desire to in all threat come across a whey protein supplement/powder.
