Positive Effects of Creatine Use

Creatine is a carboxylic acid that is widely used by power lifters, weightlifters and bodybuilders. The safety of the substance is not controversial and has long been proven. The substance is contained in the body of vertebrates. It plays a primary role in the energy metabolism of the body. Available in capsules, liquid form and powder, used for a month, after which it is necessary to rest or change the form of the substance, for example, to monohydrate, phosphate, malate or other. The cost in Ukraine ranges from 200 to 800 hryvnia per 500 grams.

Increased strength
The consumption of phosphocreatine and ATP, substances that play an important role in the metabolism of energy and substances in the body, with active physical exertion can exceed the state of rest and lead to tissue atrophy. It is this gap that is designed to fill creatine monohydrate, which also allows muscles to contract even at maximum loads. Thus, increasing ATP, taking creatine, a person can significantly, albeit briefly, increase their physical capabilities, which allows you to train with greater efficiency for muscle growth.

Increased muscle mass
In some cases, creatine does not show high effectiveness due to the non-predisposition of the body. In the rest, it allows you to increase growth-stimulating exercises by increasing the duration and strength of loads. It is noted that the substance can cause a noticeable increase in mass and strength even in one dose.
Creatine monohydrate has an excellent effect on the shape of the muscles, which makes it indispensable when working on the relief. This is due to the special hygroscopicity of the substance - getting into the cell, creatine attracts more water, increasing the volume of tissues. The developed hydration of muscle cells favorably affects the absorption of protein and reduces the process of its decay.

Other positive features
There are many negative rumors and arguments, all of which, without exception, have been refuted. 170 grams of creatine is contained in the body of 70 kilograms of a person, but you should not overdo it and use the substance strictly for its intended purpose. The positive qualities should include:

• Lowering blood cholesterol.
• It is used to treat neuromuscular diseases.
• It has a positive effect on inflammatory processes.
• Does not cause heart disease, reduces arrhythmia.
• There is information about anti-cancer properties - research is underway at this stage.

How to take creatine
It is worth noting: the maximum digestibility of monohydrate per kilogram of weight is 0.3 grams, which in terms of 24 grams per 80 kilograms. The substance is not used immediately before active physical exertion. The optimal time period for admission is an hour after training, when the metabolic index is strengthened. There is no unambiguous definition regarding food intake, but it is often recommended to use monohydrate before meals.
