Firstly one of the prime question I am asked is why Creatine? What does it do? Do I actually require it? Well I would try to elucidate some scientific reasons for the same. Creatine or Creatine Monophosphate is one of the sought after products in the bodybuilding industry and it helps to increase strength and push that you require during your workout session. ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate are the powerhouses in human cell that provides push during workout but after a few repetitions they breakdown into ADP(Adenosine Monophosphae) & iP(Phosphate molecule). This cannot be further utilized by the body and thus you are unable to push further. Creatine when added to your supplementation provides sufiicient level of phosphate for it to combine with the broken down ADP and thus keeps the tempo going.
It helps to provide intensity to your workout
It helps in enhance muscular contraction
It helps in ATP re synthesis for ehnanced workout sessions
It helps to increase muscle pumps which is a motivating factor during workout.
So why Optimum Nutrition Creatine is probably another thing to brood about. It is the best brand in the fitness industry. It mixes with just about anything and can be used as a pre-workout along with other supplements. However it does not have a taste of it’s own and is rather blank in taste.I have used it myself and I have seen my strength increased like anything.
However you should be cautious not to exceed 5gm daily and furthermore it dehydrates a lot and hence you should start consuming great amount of water to avoid any issues with your physiological system.
