I chose to make the post this week about the side effects of Creatine Supplementation. You might be surprised at what you read. Follow the red hyperlinks to learn more about creatine, or to try it out for yourself.
So what of side effects?
The main reason for all the talk on the side effects of the Creatine supplement are that it is so powerful people have this pre existing belief that there must be something innately side effect causing about it. The fact is that this is simply not true. You may have even heard of cramping during Creatine cycles. Even this has been now tested thoroughly and proven to be inconclusive. Cramping results from a lack of water that can occur if insufficient amounts of water are consumed with the Creatine supplement but this effect is due to the Creatine taking habits of the individual rather than the effect of the product itself.
Is it Worth the price, time and effort?
In all honesty the hype over Creatine supplement has caused some overexaggerated outlooks towards it. Ultimately what is going to make you gain size and lose fat and have more energy is consistent training, and a healthy, balanced and training specific diet. Does that mean Creatine won’t help? Absolutely not. Consider Creatine as a slight advantage. Like a runner wearing a skin tight suit or specially designed shoes, while they are not the sole determinant of the athletes outcome they do play a small but important role in the athletes performance.
As a final word, (and I only discovered this recently) Creatine is obviously non anabolic ad so has had no restrictions placed on it by any sports governing bodies. In the western world that is! Apparently the use of a Creatine supplement is banned in sporting competition in some countries by national authorities? Is Creatine worth it? You betcha!

Best Creatine
So you have gotten to the point that you know you need to be taking Creatine. You know the benefits of it, you’ve heard the stories about the results people have had from it, you have even started to feel left out because you’re not taking it. Don’t worry you’re not alone! The question you face now is which Creatine is really the best Creatine? After all there are thousands of them on the market, how can I chose which is the best Creatine not only overall but the best for my individual athletic needs. Don’t worry, I hear you, and I’m here to help!
Firstly here are some things to look at when purchasing your Creatine.
First of all, before you even look into which is the best Creatine for your needs you want the highest quality from production. This generally means a few things. One, you want pharmaceutical grade Creatine. Most reputable Creatine supplements that you find online or offline will be but it always pays to check.
Second of all you want to try to find a Creatine supplement that comes mixed with some form of glucose or sugar additive. This is because the added glucose content helps the body deliver the Creatine faster to the muscles as has been indicated by scientific tests. Glucose added Creatine will absorb faster, stay in your stomach for less time meaning less chance of stomach discomfort and generally provide better results. Do understand however that while this is preferrable it isn’t compulsory.

Creatine Supplement review
Ok here it is. Creatine has been around for a long time. Huge numbers of companies have talked up the benefits of the Creatine supplement, there have been studies done by hundreds of universities with varying results, you may have even seen testimonials from people even friends, so what’s the truth? How good really is Creatine ? Well here it is, Creatine , the good the other and the final verdict.
I have now researched Creatine for a long time and been a user of the supplement myself for the past two years so I have seen Creatine from both sides.
First here are the facts:
Creatine has been scientifically proven to enhance weight gain and increase energy levels during anaerobic exercise.(Note it has not been shown to have any significant effects on energy production during aerobic exercise). It does this by increasing the levels of phosphoCreatine , which are responsible for short burtst of power such as in weight training and the depletion of phosphoCreatine can result in greater muscle fatigue and lessened muscular power. Furthermore, weight gain that was previously believed to be due to Creatine s tendency to induce water retention, is now being labelled legitimate by more long term studies. Creatine supplement can increase lean muscle mass over a period of time….
