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.
Unfortunately, cracking is pretty common in concrete, especially during the first 30 days, while itâs curing. There are a number of reasons why concrete cracks. The most common is because concrete shrinks as the excess water evaporates and it hardens. Concrete can also crack if it dries too quickly. Weather conditions â extreme temperatures, rapid temperature changes or conditions that are too wet or too dry â also play a major factor in how well concrete cures. When the width of a crack exceeds 1/4â in width, it is probably time to seek professional assistance.
