Creatine, one of the Best Muscle Building Supplements

By Ricardo d Argence

Creatine isn't truly a drug, rather it is a natural substance which is created by our own bodies. In fact, it is a mixture of a trio of amino acids: glycine, arginine and methionine. Another way we get creatine is from our diet, from animal products such as fish or meat.

It helps the body do so-called "explosive" high intensity and repetitive exercise. This means that you can get a better workout when you take creatine, and you'll feel better after your workout too, since your muscles can cover much more quickly from fatigue. It helps reduce the accumulation of lactic acid after your workout, which will help you avoid muscle soreness after your workout.

Taking supplements of creatine will give you larger amounts of it, even though you can get creative from your diet. You'll recuperate for less time between workout sessions, as taken within reason, this can help you exercise longer with less fatigue and soreness, and with faster recovery times as it is. Training and doing physical activities is very good for bodybuilders and athletes in order to excel in their achievements and build muscles.

Adenosine triphosphate or ATP, is a found in your muscles and is simply waiting for you to have a use and need for it. When necessary, it can be given to you speedily and at once, which results in an "explosive" benefits to muscles, making it possible to do intense workouts nearly immediately.

One caveat to taking creatine is that it makes you retain water in your muscles, this means that you have to drink a lot more water to compensate for the water you're storing in your muscles instead of other organs. In short, be sure you drink enough when you're taking creatine.

Creatine can help you work out longer, harder and more frequently than you can without it, which can help you build muscle faster. It can also greatly reduce muscle soreness after workouts, which not only means you can work out sooner, but you'll also feel better.

However, it has some cons, too. You will experience weight gain because your body will retain water in its muscles. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but just be prepared for the higher number on the scale. You can experience dehydration and related side effects like nausea, vomiting or even seizures, in addition. Also, it is not advised to take Creatine if you have kidney problems due to the added stress that Creatine can cause to the kidneys.

But, simply put, no matter the supplements you take, your body's not going to function right and your workouts aren't going to be as effective or as efficient if you don't eat right.

You can take all the creatine in the world, for example, but if you sit there and eat junk food instead of concentrating on lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and plenty of fruits and vegetables, you're not going to be helping your workout. Your muscles have to have something to build themselves on, and junk food is not the answer. So make your diet healthy by including plenty of lean proteins like lean meats and fish, complex carbohydrates, and fruits and vegetables. Limit or eliminate trans fats, simple sugars and carbohydrates, and junk food in general.

Even so, when following these guidelines, creatine can definitely promote better workouts and muscle building if it is used appropriately. - 17274
