Yes I too found that the ECA stack increased my flushing so I have

eliminated it from my supplement regime. I'll try to increase cardio

to try and burn off those pounds that just don't want to go away.

The creatine did help with my workouts as far as getting off of

sticking points and being able to lift more weight. I do agree with

jillians64 post that it does make you hold water. I tend to smooth

out after a loading phase so will cycle off it every 4 or 5 months

for a couple of weeks. I think I found out what was causing my extra

flushing, besides the workout itself, is the herb yohimbe. The

advetised benifits were there but so were much the same bad side

effects as the ECA.
