Hello everyone!
1.Creatine is a natural chemical found in the body, specially in the skeletal muscle. It is found in the form of creatine phosphate, around 95% in muscles cells and 5% in brain and testes. It’s main fuction is to provide energy for the muscles. Creatine helps to increase the reservoir of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which store energy in cells. Basically, creatine helps to increase muscle mass, muscle strength and helps healing due to any injury of muscles.
2.The main way that creatine works in muscles is by giving them energy, which alters how cells operate and promotes muscle growth. It promotes muscular growth throughout the long and short terms. Research has indicated that creatine can enhance muscular growth, mass, and strength in people of all ages, including athletes.
3.A number of studies have demonstrated that creatine can boost muscle growth and strength as much as three times faster than exercise training. It can also increase muscle endurance. Thus, athletes have used it extensively. Sports athletes who use creatinine to improve their performance include runners, bikers, soccer players, and swimmers.
4.In addition to muscles, creatine supports the brain’s optimal function by replenishing ATP and phosphocreatine storage. Studies reveal that taking supplements of creatinine can help individuals with injuries to the brain, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
5.There is evidence from clinical trials that creatine may help lower blood sugar, treat fatty liver disease, strengthen the heart, and lessen the risk of stroke. Confirmation requires a great deal of additional study. Among women who have passed experienced menopause, creatine can improve bone and muscular density.
6.Supplementation is often used by older persons, young adults, and athletes, as well as in certain situations under medical supervision. Creatine monohydrate supplements are the most often utilized. According to research, this is the most extensively used, reasonably priced supplement. Generally, under supervision, 20 grams per day for 5-7 days is advised based on each individual’s unique body type and needs. Lowering the dosage gradually in order to keep the ideal levels in the body intact.
7.Regarding safety, there is no proof that creatine damages the kidneys or liver or has any adverse effects on healthy people. People who use creatine supplements during really intensive workouts do report experiencing cramps and dehydration.
8.Animal-based sources of protein such as meat, poultry, and seafood are the primary natural sources of creatine.
For vegetarians, milk and cheese contain very little creatine. Regarding vegans, there isn’t any specific food source for creatine.
9.Since the words “creatine” and “creatinine” sound identical, individuals sometimes confuse them. To be clear, creatine is the energy source for building and strengthening muscle, whereas creatinine is a waste product that the kidneys filter after the muscle produces it. To determine the kidneys’ ideal performance, blood creatinine levels are measured; these levels tend to rise in chronic renal failure.
10.To ensure that we consume enough creatine in our diet, it’s critical to incorporate food sources of the protein so that muscle build in the body is adequate. Creatine helps in recovery of post- trauma muscle fibres, exercise- induced injury recovery, muscle soreness and inflammation.
