Let's talk Creatine

Everyone is talking about it. And they have been for quite some time. But why?

What is all the fuss about with Creatine? And should you be taking it to help you reach your goals?

Let's dive into it...

WHAT IS CREATINE?

Creatine is an Amino Acid that is created naturally within the body and also found in certain foods. It’s a compound that's involved in the production of energy in the body. Creatine is commonly known as the most widely researched supplement.

WHAT DOES CREATINE DO?

Results of many studies have shown that creatine supplementation increases strength and muscle mass as well as helping to decrease fatigue. This increase in energy allows you to work out harder and longer, resulting in greater long-term muscle gains.

WHO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND CREATINE TO?

Anyone wanting to increase their muscle mass or strength! Creatine is incredibly safe and should be considered based on your goals.

ANY SIDE AFFECTS?

Sometimes Creatine can slightly affect your digestion having you either constipated or more regular. To avoid this, try adding your Creatine Powder to your water bottle and sip throughout the day instead of taking all at once. Also some people note feeling slightly “heavier” due to your muscle holding more water than usual.

HOW DO I TAKE IT?

Taken in pill or powder form daily. Simply add the unflavoured powder to your water, protein shake or anything!

DO I NEED TO “LOAD” MY CREATINE?

Loading isn’t 100% necessary - research suggests after 30 days, results from using creatine end up the same for strength gains whether you load or not.
