I think as Nptadude said above it's the anti-catabolic propoerties of it that make it so nice. Especially in PCT. As for this new guy that has only been working out for 3 months, he needs as much help as he can get to build lean muscle mass, so creatine is well worth it. Especially considering how cheap it is these days. You can buy 500mg of EAS creatine for $9.96 at Walmart.
