Creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there with over 200 studies looking at the effects of creatine consumption. Unanimously the studies have agreed that creatine is safe to use and has positive effects on athletic performance. So lets see what they are;
- Creatine enhances the body's capacity to perform high intensity work (and assists greater muscle size and performance gains as a result).
- Creatine helps to promote complete recovery from intense exercise.
- Creatine improves Anaerobic capacity
- Creatine has a property that causes muscle cells to inflate, which makes muscles look larger
- Creatine aids protein synthesis
- Creatine significantly enhanced the activity of alkaline phosphate (Bone Growth)
A range of everyday benefits exist also from improved brain function to diabetes resistance.
A 5g serving should be enough for anyone looking to see the results from creatine. Consumption after a workout, possibly mixed with a protein shake, has shown to provide the best results.
