How to use Creatine

How to use Creatine or how much Creatine should you take. Two questions that we are asked all of the time - the simple answer is it depends on which Creatine you are taking AND what results you want to achieve. Many hardcore bodybuilders and serious athletes are under the impression that more is always better - but with Creatine this is just not true. What is true though is that certain types of Creatine are simply more potent and can deliver the desired results in a shorter space of time than other less potent forms.

In very basic terms Creatine Ethyl Ester is 40X More effective than regular Creatine Monohydrate. SO does this mean that if you take 40X the dosage of Monohydrate you will get the same results - well NO as these are very different supplements. Monohydrate was initially the form of Creatine taken by the masses - as nutritional technology has improved though other forms of Creatine have been developed many of which over come some of the flaws of Monohydrate such as its tendency to cause stomach bloating with the added advantage that it requires no loading dosage.

Creatine is a substance manufactured by our bodies to supply our muscles with energy. It's derived from 3 non essential amino acids: glycine, methionine and arginine. It is found naturally in red meat, but in very small amounts eg 12oz of red meat has only about 7grams of Creatine in it. Creatine is used by the body to increase muscular anaerobic endurance and power, which in turn leads to an increase in muscle gain. Scientific studies prove that Creatine helps your body to build lean muscle mass, increase endurance, speed up recovery, and increase athletic performance.

Traditional Creatine Monohydrate requires that you have a loading phase where you gradually increase the amount of Creatine that you take and then cut back to 5-10g per day as a maintenance dosage. Kre-Alkalyn Creatine and CEE Creatine Ethyl Ester are much more potent and require no loading phase. For CEE Creatine we always recommend the tablets and, depending on the size of your body take 4-8 tablets before a workout and the same after a workout.

When Creatine is consumed, it enters the bloodstream and travels to our muscles to be stored as a substance called Creatine phosphate. What is Creatine phosphate? It's a substance that is stored in your muscle cells to be used for power and energy when your body needs it. During intense activities such as heavy weight lifting, rugby, American Football and other sports that require short bursts of high-intense effort, your body produces a substance called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to perform these bursts of power. However your body's supply of ATP runs out quite quickly, and that's where your Creatine phosphate supply comes into play. When out of ATP your body will turn to its stores of Creatine phosphate to convert into more ATP. For example if you are doing a really heavy super slow bicep curl your body will start off by using ATP to power your muscles for the movement. If the rep takes longer than about 5-10 seconds (as you would in a Super Slow repetition) your body will most likely run out of ATP and will start converting Creatine phosphate into ATP for continued power. The Creatine Phosphate therefore allows you to continue with high intensity power and energy after your first ATP runs out .

Depending on how much Creatine phosphate your muscle cells have stored, you may get an added 20 seconds or so of energy during short bursts of explosive energy movements. If you are supplementing with Creatine, then you will obviously have more Creatine phosphate stored in your muscles. Therefore, you will get more energy and power, and for longer periods of time. This is how Creatine helps to build more muscle, by allowing your body to give more power in times of need. Creatine will increase your strength and the amount of work your muscles can do.


 

The Best Creatine is often not the cheapest Creatine. However the most effective and best Creatine can also be the best value for money as it is results that count. If you take a supplement that doesnt give you the results that you expect no matter how cheap it was you simply would not buy it again. We have some BIG Customers. Most of our customers are repeat customers who keep on buying because we sell products that work. Real results for real people.
