Top Creatine Products at Huge Discounts!Q. What is Creatine?A. Creatine is a compound made up of arginine, glycene, and methionine. It is stored primarily in the muscles but also in the brain and heart. Q. Is creatine natural? A. Yes. Everybody has some level of creatine in their body, either produced from within or ingested as part of the diet. Q. What does creatine do? A. Creatine is a short-term energy supply. It basically works by turning used ATP into ATP that can be used again. Q. How does creatine increase muscle size? A. It doesn’t, at least not directly. It simply allows you to get more out of your workout. With the extra energy you can do one or two more reps of each lift during your workout. Creatine doesn’t bulk you up, it just allows you to bulk up more effectively. To Creatine Products Page II >> MORE CREATINE INFORMATION & ARTICLES BELOW THE PRODUCTS |

A. Probably 2-2.5 grams. Some advocate a “loading phase,” which consists of taking up to 25 grams per day for the first 7-10 days. This may be useful if you need to bulk up very fast. However, there is a limit to how much creatine the body can use effectively, and exceeding that limit is of no use.
Q. Should I “cycle” my creatine use?
A. Probably. Cycling is a common practice when taking supplements. It means taking the product regularly during a period of time, then not taking it for a period of time. In general, two months on, one month off is a good approach. You should continue working out as normal during the off times, but cycling will ensure that your body continues to produce creatine naturally.
Q. How many different kinds of creatine are there?
A. Quite a few. It comes in powder, liquid, gel, and even gum form. It also comes as creatine monohydrate, creatine phosphate, and creatine citrate.
Q. Which kind is right for me?
A. Probably creatine monohydrate in a powder form. It is by far the most widely used form. However, you should ask a nutrition or supplement specialist before making a final decision.
Q. When should I take creatine?
A. About an hour before your workout. It takes about an hour for the creatine to make its way from your bloodstream to your muscles where you will need it while you lift weights.
Q. Is taking creatine safe?
A. Yes.
Q. Why can’t I find any source that says with absolute certainty that it is safe?
A. Because creatine has only been popular as a supplement for a relatively short period of time. Many studies have been done on creatine. Only a few minor short term side effects have been identified (and these only in a very few people). Absolutely no long term side effects have ever been identified. However, because the medical profession is so careful (and rightly so), they will not say with absolute certainty that creatine is safe until it has been studied longer.
Q. At what age can I start using creatine?
A. Probably at any age, although that is a discussion to have with parents and possibly a physician or nutrition specialist. Supplementing while the body is still developing needs to be done with care, and you may identify more considerations than just physical health as well.
Q. Is creatine legal?
A. Yes. People tend to believe that creatine is illegal because Mark McGuire used it 10 years ago. In fact, creatine was legal then, is legal now, and isn’t even a banned substance in any sport (it’s found naturally in the body).
