What is creatine?
Creatine monohydrate is a pure form of creatine, a substance produced naturally in the body.
You will usually consume creatine via dietary sources, including red meat and salmon. This means that supplementing with creatine is not usually necessary, however active people with high intensity exercise regimes may benefit from adding highly concentrated creatine powder to their diet.
Why should I supplement with creatine?
Maintaining healthy creatine levels allows our bodies to create more ATP, a substance that is used to create vital energy. This is in particular demand when we are training hard, whether that is lifting weights or cardio sessions.
ATP is broken down quickly to allow for successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, which is why replenishing supplies fast is so important for competitive athletes.
The general recommendation is to replenish with 1 - 3g of creatine per day to support normal creatine stores and ensure best results during your workout.
Creatine lets you perform better
Creatine is most commonly chosen by those people who are keen to build muscle mass. This is because it can help in muscle gain by enabling more total work per exercise session.
The best way to take creatine
Experts recommended an initial loading of creatine if you have not taken it before.
This is done by consuming four servings of 5g a day for five days. After this process, these elevated creatine levels are maintained by simply working 3 – 5g of the powder into your diet each day.
Enjoying your creatine pre workout is advised by some experts, though this is not essential.
Those on creatine supplement regimes should always remember to drink plenty of water during and after training for best results.
