Description

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most popular supplements used by people looking to build lean muscle mass, maximise performance & increase overall strength. Creatine Monohydrate is a natural component of skeletal muscle, which can be produced in the body from amino acids during digestion. Creatine increases muscle availability since it increases the endurance of the cells in which energy is stored. This ultimately increases the level of muscular energy, promoting enhanced physical performance.

Creatine is one of the most studied & effective supplements ever to hit the market. Research confirms that creatine can increase muscle mass by at least 10 pounds & muscle strength by more than 10%. It is entirely true, creatine does, in fact, increase the water weight inside muscles, pulling more fluid into the cells. But this fluid places a stretch on the membrane of muscle cells to signal an increase in muscle protein synthesis, which results in real, long-term muscle growth. Creatine also provides the muscles a quick source of energy to fuel muscle contractions during workouts. In fact, creatine is actually a critical energy component of muscle cells. Having more of this energy available allows you to complete more reps with a given weight, which, over time, leads to gains in muscle strength & size.

The primary function of creatine is to aid muscle energetic reactions. All sources of energy in food eventually are converted into the most elemental source of cellular energy, adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP consists of three phosphate groups attached to an adenosine backbone. Energy is produced when one of the phosphate groups breaks off from the ATP structure. This converts ATP into ADP. But creatine, which is stored in muscle as both free or unbonded creatine, & mainly as creatine phosphate, contributes a phosphate group to the degraded ADP, which immediately converts it back to ATP. In this sense, creatine acts like a second battery would in a car, kicking in when the first battery runs out of energy.

The research on creatine is voluminous, with new studies emerging constantly in the medical literature. In relation to muscle function, other studies have shown that creatine also exerts a buffering action in muscle, which further reduces muscular fatigue during high intensity exercise. Creatine may also offer anabolic effects. For example, some studies show that creatine may promote the activity of muscle satellite cells, which are muscle stem cells vital for muscle repair & growth. It may do this by promoting the activity of intramuscular insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), probably the most potent intramuscular anabolic hormone. Creatine also promotes muscle gains by activating a cellular hydration process that in turn activates anabolic signaling factors in muscle. Although creatine does promote a degree of water retention (up to 6 to 9 pounds after a creatine load regime), it also promotes actual muscular growth through the anabolic mechanisms described above.
