CREATINE MONOHYDRATE

When you do not get results from the expensive sports supplements you buy, it is easy to get discouraged. Creatine is one supplement that will not let you down. You will surely see and feel a big difference on the scale, in the mirror, and in the gym. Creatine is a no-brainer, slam dunk, and must-use choice for anyone trying to build their physique without drugs.

The sports supplementation market offers products that are making natural physiques better and better. If you are a bodybuilder and have never heard of creatine monohydrate, you need to pay better attention to the advances in sports nutrition that are happening around you. If you have heard of it, but have never used it before, let me ask you a question: What’s taking you so long to try it?

Creatine is the most heralded natural bodybuilding supplement available today. So effective, it’s use has spread into the mainstream, major-league sports world. It’s approval is unanimous.

Creatine monohydrate can produce the most dramatic effect of quality weight gain in the shortest amount of time than probably any other supplement on the market. When I first starting taking creatine, I gained 19 pounds in just three weeks! Many other drug-free trainees have experienced similar results around the country.

I know of one bodybuilder who had quit after becoming disenchanted with all the drugs he had to use to compete. It was the immediate gains he experienced due to creatine that lured him back into competition, and he is now enjoying a promising career as a national-level drug-free bodybuilder. If you haven't tried creatine monohydrate yet, I suggest you get some as soon as possible.

What creatine does is aid in the turnover of ATP. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the compound in your muscle cells where muscle power is generated by the conversion of chemical energy. Higher levels in your system help you train harder -- and for a longer period of time. It is believed that creatine monohydrate also helps your muscles retain more fluids, giving you a larger, fuller appearance. I have personally experienced this effect, along with the tremendous increase in strength.

Creatine is available in capsules, powder, and now even liquid forms. Personally, I like the powder. Some creatine also comes in mixtures with a certain amount of carbohydrates, which are designed to aid in the transportation of creatine into the muscles.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate creatine as a 10+.
