Is Creatine good for you?

• 

A lot of people often wonder what supplements are good for them when they are wanting to workout and gain weight. A lot of mystery circulates when people hear the word creatine. Growing up I know for a fact when I mentioned it to my parents they were totally against it. They thought it was some type of steroid and that I would have all of these different problems if I took it as my body started to develop. And honestly that’s just parents for you. But in reality creatine is actually good for you. Whether you are an athlete or just somebody that wants to gain muscle, it can help you. Below I will list some of the benefits from it.

#1. Supports many other functions in muscles

Creatine is one of the most popular and effective supplements for getting bigger muscles. It can alter many cellular pathways that will lead to your muscles growing. A secret about creatine that many people do not know is that it increases the water content of your muscles. This then makes your muscles grow quicker than someone who is not using creatine.

#2 Improves High intensity exercise performance

Creatine can improve your athletic abilities in numerous ways. It can increase your strength, sprinting ability, Muscle mass, muscle endurance and your recovery. Creatine will benefit you regardless of what your fitness level may be. You do not have to be high level athlete to see the benefits from creatine.

#3 May reduce fatigue and tiredness

I know for myself when I wasn’t using creatine I would find myself getting tired during my lifting sessions and would feel very sore the next day. But when I first started taking it I didn’t see any major results until the fourth week in because at first it has to get in your system and you go through a ” loading stage”. But once the fourth week came around I was literally powering through my workouts. Fatigue was not really a factor when I was taking it consistently and I found myself getting stronger and the more I lifted the more I got addicted to the results.

#4. It’s safe and easy to use

A lot of people look for different supplements to help them gain muscle or they try and take the easy way out and use steroids which cause tons of money and comes with a whole bunch of side effects. Creatine is simple and easy to use and is one of the least expensive products on the market right now.

Overall I think creatine is one of the best products on the market and I know for myself when I want to bulk up and get cut I turn to it because it is the only product that has shown me results. Of course you can’t just take it and expect to get muscle if you are not working out regularly but it is definitely something I would recommended.
