Taking Nitrix Oxide and Creatine...Help?

Today was the first time i have taken Nitrix Oxide by BioTech USA. I combined this with my Creatine and my amino acids 30 mins prior to workout.

Everything went well and i had a hard work out. Later on, i was getting changed in the locker rooms, i looked in the mirror and saw these red marks on my shoulders as if i had been scratched by a cat or a female with extremely long nails.

I have never seen this before taken the Nitrix oxide and was wondering if this could be something to do with it or if something is wrong.

I am abit worried as this is strange and out of the blue. Im not in any pain or anything, but though this would be a good place to ask.

All help appreciated.

Thank You.

I've used Creatine, usually with a sweet drink (the sugar supposedly helps it absorb into the muscles better), and not suffered any ill effects. The Nitrix is new to me.

Keep in mind that Creatine is a "muscle volumizer", meaning it primarily stores more water in the muscles. This usually makes them larger, but less defined. But since muscles are mostly water, it's doing its job. Problem is, you may lose mass when you no longer use Creatine.

That being said, since Creatine stays more in the muscles, the Nitrix may be what's causing the discoloration in your skin. Continue your regimen with the Creatine and amino acids, but skip the Nitrix for about a week. If the red marks remain or reappear, Nitrix is not your problem.

Either way, I doubt the Nitrix is hurting you, but you may be exhibiting an allergic reaction all the same.
