Creatine

Creatine (from the Greek kreas, kreatos - meat; synonym - methylglycocyamine) is a popular nutritional supplement used in sports and fitness.

Creatine is a nitrogen-containing organic compound that is produced in the liver, kidneys and pancreas. It plays an important role in providing energy to cells, especially muscle cells.

Taking creatine as a supplement increases creatine levels in your muscles, which can increase muscle strength and endurance during intense exercise. Research has shown that taking creatine can help build muscle mass and improve athletic performance.

However, creatine is not a steroid and does not have a significant effect on muscle growth without training. To achieve maximum benefits, creatine should be taken regularly in combination with training.

Creatine is a simple acid present in large quantities in all animal tissues, with particularly high concentrations in muscles, where it serves important functions for physical fitness. Its particularly powerful effect can be observed in athletes involved in strength training, such as bodybuilding or fitness, but can also be used for endurance training.

When taking creatine, glucose is removed from the body and carbon dioxide is formed. Therefore, before using creatine, it is necessary to donate blood for sugar to rule out diabetes. It is also worth noting that creatine is an acid, so it will be difficult to take. But if you take it in large enough doses (about 5 grams) and at the same time maintain an interval between meals of at least 2 hours, then the same problems will arise as when drinking carbonated drinks, as well as with the gastrointestinal tract. In these cases, unpleasant consequences are possible, for example
