Having better workouts obviously results in better muscular development. But creatine also allows muscle to store more water, which is a positive thing for anyone looking for a more muscular appearance. Read more below about the misconceptions of creatine.
When muscles are being used, their main energy source in the body is known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). When the ATP is used up, it turns into ADP (adenosine diphosphate), and can no longer be used for energy.
Creatine is naturally produced in the body from amino acids. It stores high-energy phosphate (P) groups and can turn the useless ADP back into ATP, the primary energy source for working muscles.
Creatine can be found in some foods and is most prevalent in meat and fish. But you can get a controllable serving of creatine every day with TruCreatine.
Creatine Misconceptions:
-
Does creatine make you bloated?
Creatine does not make you bloated. This misconception started from an oversimplification of how creatine works. Creatine does in fact make you retain more water, in your muscle tissue! This is exactly what anyone who is looking for a more muscular appearance wants. The misconception comes from people falsely assuming this water storage occurs in places like fat tissue, like traditional bloating, which is not true.
-
Do I need to "load" creatine?
Short answer: No. Creatine loading is where a high dose of creatine is taken for the first 5-7 days, typically 20g/day, and after the 7th day, taking just 3-5g per day going forward. Doing a loading phase does help you reach saturation level in a slightly shorter period of time, but it is not necessary and we do not recommend it. What's important, is taking creatine every day, not just on training days.
-
Is creatine only for bulking?
Creatine can be used by anyone wanting to increase strength, grow muscle, or maintain muscle mass. Regardless of your goals, if musclar performance or development is important to you, creatine should be part of your daily ritual.
