Creatine is safe, natural and legal. In fact, it has the reputation for being the most legitimate of sports supplements available. There have been no negative side effects noted in research with the recommended levels of supplementation. Some test subjects have experienced flatulence, diarrhea , cramping and bloating with higher than recommended doses.

The food we eat is processed by our bodies to give us energy. It is broken down into carbohydrates, fats and proteins which are required for energy production. They are converted by a series of chemical reactions into a substance known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is responsible for building new tissue, nerve transmission, digestion, gland secretions and muscle contraction.

Creatine is naturally occuring amino acid that is synthesized in the body. It is then combined with phosphorus to form creatine phosphate (phosphocreatine). When a muscle is worked, ATP is broken down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and energy is released. The high energy phosphates stored in creatine phosphate are used to rapidly convert ADP back to ATP. This replaces the ATP consumed during exercise.

The amount of ATP stored in the muscle will only fuel a maximum effort such as lifting a weight for 10 to 15 seconds. After that, the muscle must rely on creatine to restock its ATP supply. Muscle fatigue occurs when the creatine phosphate in the muscle is exhausted and the ADP can no longer be converted into the necessary ATP.

Supplementing creatine helps to increase the rate in which the body can supply ATP, thereby improving the overall anaerobic efficiency of the muscle.

Intensity is necessary to achieve natural strength gains and muscle growth.

By intensity, we mean the measurement of resistance and speed of movement. In bodybuilding, muscle growth and increased strength take place only when muscle has been overloaded by duration, frequency and intensity. Your muscles will not grow without challenging and powerful repetitions. Creatine promotes intense lifting by recycling the energy molecule ATP.

Creatine also buffers lactic acid build-up allowing for a more enduring workout. Lactic acid is the main cause of exercise related muscle fatigue which interferes with duration and frequency.

Studies conclude that increasing muscular creatine may also increase muscle proteins, as well as reduce muscle protein breakdown. This indicates that creatine supplementation may have an impact on muscle growth and recuperation by preserving muscle fibers.
