Many people who use creatine gain weight. This is because creatine causes the muscles to hold water, not because it actually builds muscle. There is some concern that combining creatine with caffeine and the herb ephedra (also called Ma Huang) might increase the chance of having serious side effects such as stroke.
Concrete retained in forms or covered with insulation seldom loses enough moisture at 40 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit) to impair curing. However, drying from low wintertime humidities and heaters used in enclosures is a concern.
Another factor that will influence the curing time is temperature. Colder concrete gains strength much slower than warmer concrete. At 3 days after casting, concrete cured at 45 degrees F only has about 70% the strength of the same concrete cast at room temperature (73 degrees F).
