If both, creatine and testosterone occur naturally in our bodies then why supplementing one keeps us natural but taking second one makes us not natural anymore?

Creatine is a resource the body needs. If you don’t have enough of it, you run into trouble. If you take in too much, your body will just get rid of the excess, i.e. you will pee and/or poop it out. It’s a bit like having more bricks than you need to build a house – it won’t change the shape of the house, it just means you have a bunch of bricks you need to get rid of.

Testosterone is a hormone. It’s a molecule your body uses to send signals that provide instructions. If you have too much of it, that changes those instructions. Going back to the building-a-house analogy, having too much testosterone is like the foreman keeps shouting at his workers to put down another layer or bricks, so the result is a taller house than what you wanted.
