Creatine Monohidrate is a natural supplement to boos athletic performance, by helping the muscle to produce more energy, increasing the muscle phosphocreatine stores (phosphocreatine is a precursor of ATP, so you will produce more ATP to continuously perform at maximum intensity).
Benefits:
- supports muscles development by boosting the formation of the proteins that create new muscle fibers;
- increase muscle mass, increase the water content of the muscles;
- reduces the myostatin (molecule responsible for reducing muscle growth), helping the muscle to build faster;
- improves high intensity exercises, improving factors such as strength, ballistic power, sprint ability, endurance, recovery, fatigue resistance, brain performance;
- most effective muscle building supplement, increasing both short term and long term muscle mass;
- helps in Parkinson disease preventing the dopamine decrease and improving muscle strenghth and function;
- few other neurological diseases had symptoms such as phosphocreatine reduction in the brain (Alzheimer’s, ischemic stroke, epilepsy, brain or spinal cord injuries — even ALS, as it is improving muscle function, reduce muscle loss and extends survival by 17%);
- lowers blood sugar level and helps in diabetes;
- useful for the brain, increases the phosphocreatine reserves helping to create more ATP, needed for difficult, complex tasks;
- increase dopamine levels and mitochondrial function (20–50% improvement in memory and recall ability)
- reduces age related memory loss and protects against neurological diseases;
- reduces fatigue and tiredness.
Side effects:
- drink plenty of extra water when used and avoid dehydration (it is bad for your kidneys and creatine increases the risk);
- long term use is not recommended in bipolar disorder;
- caffeine and creatine together can make Parkinson worse (avoid caffeine if it is the case);
- because of the water retention, do not use it if you have kidney problems.
Dosage:
- it is safe and easy to use;
- got a loading phase (20g per day for 4–7 days, then maintenance 1–10 g per day).
