What To Expect From Creatine Supplements

By Russ Howe


When you look at muscle building supplements you could be forgiven for getting lost in the hype and marketing talk. Today we uncover the truth about creatine so you can determine whether it is something you wish to add to your diet or not.

While supplement companies spend so much time filling their packaging with statements of how their product will make your next workout one thousand times better than the last one, it is no wonder why such a huge amount of gym users often get completely lost in the world of supplements.

So what should you expect from this particular product?

This product is all about explosive strength. Whether you use it or not, this is a substance which is already inside your body and is responsible for those big sudden impact movements such as performing a heavy lift or a sudden sprint.

By having more of this substance in your body on a daily basis you increase your body's ability to do high impact exercises. Put that into a gym setting and it could mean one more repetition or a slightly heavier weight, which make this particularly useful when trying to build muscle.

So you will often hear people talking about how their strength has improved while using this supplement but you should also be aware that it makes a change to your actual appearance, too. It pushes water into your muscles creating that full, round appearance.

As with all supplements, however, there are various side effects to look at which can play an important role in your overall results. With this particular product there are in fact a number of myths surrounding it.

Myth number one is the bloating myth. Many gym users believe that this supplement causes a bloated appearance, pushing water between the skin and the muscle to create a blurry effect for your muscles. This is scientifically proven to be untrue.

The second myth surrounding this product is that you must stop using it after two-to-three months or it becomes dangerous. Athletes use this supplement all season round and while the initial advice when this supplement first hit the market 20 years ago was to take a break, this has since been proven wrong.

When it comes to which blend is superior there are several surprising factors. Most importantly the most research points towards Monohydrate as the strongest proven source. This is seen as surprising because it is also the oldest and cheapest, but it is indeed science fact.

And finally you may encounter groups of people who tell you that using this supplement will make you muscular. It will not. At least not directly anyway. You still need to train, keep a good diet and drink plenty water otherwise your results would be lacking just like anything in life.

So you now know the basics of what a creatine supplement is designed to do for your body. Enjoy your next workout!
