Effects Of Creatine Supplementation

Executive Summary about Effects of Creatine by Kristjan Gunnarsson

What is Creatine?

Here I will be covering the effects of Creatine supplementation. Creatine is an amino acid that can be produced by the body or obtained through supplements or diet. Creatine first gained worldwide attention when two gold medalists used Creatine during their training for the 1992 Olympics. There are many different forms, including Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine Ethyl Ester.

How does Creatine work?

The active form in the human body is Creatine Phosphate, which is a part of the energy reserve of cells. The effects of creatine supplementation are therefore to increase the amount of these available energy reserves. Creatine improves performance in anaerobic exercises such as sprinting or weight lifting. Creatine enhances maximum strength and increases muscle gain. 95% of the total creatine is contained in muscles and supplementation increases the amount by up to 20%.

The most common form is Creatine Monohydrate. Creatine Monohydrate has been proven safe and effective in countless research and this is the form I would recommend taking. Creatine supplementation was found to enhance memory and cognitive function in vegetarians, resulting from a lack of creatine in their diet. It is important to drink enough water when supplementing with Creatine.Most people respond to Creatine, but not everyone.I recommend taking pure Creatine Monohydrate, in powder form. Micronized creatine dissolves better and is easier to ingest.
