Legends Never Die...

In sports nutrition, creatine is one of the oldest and still most talked about supplements. As with all legends, creatine has had stories told of the miracles it works and the problems it can cause. But what are the facts and what are myths with creatine?

Creatine is one of the most researched and proven supplements. It is also safe for men and women of generally good health. The inexpensive cost of creatine also makes it a great buy for people who want an affordable supplement program. This is why Better Body Sports Creatine Monohydrate 500 grams has been popular for over 15 years.

Like all legends, people will capitalize on the popularity of creatine. One way is by giving an old story a new spin. In creatines case, marketers have made this effort by trying to make better versions of creatine. The list is long, but examples are creatine hcl, kre-alkalyn, creatine ethyl ester, and creapure. Not one of these forms of creatine are any better than creatine monohydrate for the benefits people want.

Building Muscle

Creatine has been shown to increase muscle mass in the majority people who take it. The increase in muscle mass is from creatines ability to increase levels of atp and cellular hydration. You can read more about building muscle with creatine by reading this article.

Increasing strength

The technical term of increasing strength is “power output.” Creatine helps increase the weight you can lift for more and the repetitions you can lift the weight for. This is done in the same way as it initially helps you to build muscle...through increased atp. Taking creatine monohydrate before workouts is one-way users take creatine for the purpose of getting stronger.

Increasing anaerobic running capacity

Creatine has the potential to increase anaerobic cardio activities. This is important for fitness enthusiasts who perform exercise routines such as CrossFit, cross training, and boot camp workouts. Creatine may help to increase your potential when combining weightlifting and cardio at the same time.

Muscular endurance

People who perform workouts with a lot of reps may feel that creatine is not for them. Piggy backing on the benefits for anaerobic exercise, creatine can also help those who work out with higher rep ranges either in cross fit, cross training, and boot camp workouts. As well, creatine can help anyone who exercises at higher rep ranges during standard bodybuilding workouts.

Reducing Fatigue

Fitness is hard and so is life. Creatine can help to minimize fatigue after a difficult workout or other strenuous life activity. This may be why post workout creatine consumption seems to improve the energy that people have after a difficult workout.

Depression

Stepping away from the workouts for a moment. There are three studies showing the potential benefits creatine can have on depression. This is important for all people but for those who struggle with weight loss or muscle gain, being strong mentally, is crucial. While creatine is not a cure for depression, it is good to see we can add it to our toolkit to fight against it.

Glycogen Resynthesis

Many people take creatine with a fast carbohydrate such as dextrose. For good reason as these carbohydrates can help more creatine enter the muscle cells. While it is great that carbohydrates help creatine, creatine can also help carbohydrates. Creatine helps with glycogen resynthesis which are primary made from carbohydrates. This is your second muscle energy source after creatine. This could mean faster recovery times between sets for strength increases.

Glycemic Control

Another point for creatine in the game of fat loss. Creatine can help with glycemic control. This may help stabilize blood sugar in those who have higher levels due to being overweight and / or following a poor diet. More research is needed to validate this finding.
