Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is naturally found in the human body. It stores the essential source of energy ❨ATP❩ for all your muscles. The more saturation of creatine in your muscle, the more energy ❨ATP❩ your muscle has, which translates into more muscular power and endurance! Whether you're trying to pack on size or trim down, more muscular endurance means better workouts and better results.
By supplementing Creatine, you are increasing the rate at which your body regenerates ATP - with more ATP, your muscles will have more energy readily available, which can help lead to strength gains during high intensity/resistance training. Supplementation with Creatine Monohydrate may also causes muscle cells to volumize by absorbing extra water. When you bring water inside the muscle cells, which are already 75% water, you will not only get an excellent pump when you train, but it will accelerate protein synthesis resulting in increased muscle development and growth! In addition to the endurance and strength increases your muscles look bigger rounder and fuller.
The extra water absorbed by your muscle may add between 2lb-10lb and ""water weight"". The muscles will look fuller and rounder. This additional ""water weight"" is temporary and will disappear once you stop supplementing with Creatine Monohydrate. If you do not wish to add weight, try using a creatine other than Creatine Monohydrate, such as Kre-Alkalyn or Creatine HCL. They provide many of the same benefits, while negating the water retention. They also do not require carbohydrates to be absorbed.
How do I use Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine should be taken at the following two times in order of importance:
- Postworkout- 3- 5 grams should be included in a postworkout drink. Add 30-100 grams of carbs, 30-50 grams of whey protein and 5-10 grams of glutamine for best results.
- Preworkout- 3- 5 grams in a preworkout drink. Add a small amount of carbs, whey protein and glutamine for a great preworkout shake.
Pre-mixed Creatine Formulas, follow label.
Note: On off-days from training take 5-10 grams of creatine with a meal containing carbohydrates.
