Is creatine bad for you?

This is very controversial subject as there are researchers like Greenhaff, et al (1993), who have demonstrated that’s beneficial to load, and others who have shown no benefit. In addition to this, loading has only been studied with basic creatine monohydrate. Several manufacturers now produce more advanced creatine blends like Warrior Cyclic, Warrior Creatine, or Pure Creatine Gluconate that require no loading. On Non-Workout Days, it is recommended to add 5g’s to a high-carbohydrate drink and consume first thing in the morning, upon waking.

Creatine is one of the most popular bodybuilding supplements on the market and is used by bodybuilders, weight trainers, rugby players and other sportsmen and women alike. Creatine is a compound that’s naturally produced in our bodies to replenish energy. It is created in the liver, kidneys and pancreas and then secreted into blood for transport to muscle cells and other tissues. Chemically, creatine is formed from the combination of amino acids arginine, methionine and glycine. Does creatine work? Creatine will increase your levels of Creatine phosphate. Increased levels of Creatine Phosphate means that you can work out for longer periods of time and complete say ten reps instead of eight. With the ability to handle an added workload over the course of say a month leads to increased lean muscle mass, heavier lifts and in turn a stronger you. Creatine also makes your muscle's look fuller as creatine brings water to the muscle. This combined with the extra strength benefits, arugably makes creatine an essential supplement.
