About
CREATINE MONOHYDRATE
Creatine is a non-essential amino acid that is mostly found in meat. Creatine is synthesized in the body from 3 amino acids, namely, methionine, arginine and glycine. We don’t consume the required amount of meat (or at all, in the case of vegetarians) in our diets to get enough creatine. Therefore, we supplement it. Creatine is stored in the body as creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine, mostly in the skeletal muscles. These phosphocreatine molecules saturate in the body over time and act as energy reserves for high intensity activity by acting as phosphate donors to circulating ADP.
CREATINE FAQ
WHY CREATINE?
Creatine is important for numerous functions and it can benefit longevity, strength, cognitive abilities and the hydration status of a person. Every healthy individual should consider supplementing their creatine intake with a creatine monohydrate supplement.
SHOULD I CYCLE CREATINE?
Unless you cycle the amount of calories, protein, fats and carbohydrates you don’t need to cycle off creatine because just like any other vitamin, mineral or macronutrient, it should be an active part of your diet.
WILL CREATINE MAKE ME GO BALD?
This scare came from one flawed study done on rugby athletes that tested the DHT level rise on creatine but did not take into account that high intensity physical activity also raises the same hormone. Creatine will NOT make you go bald but if you’re predisposed to androgenic alopecia, please consider consulting with a medical professional before supplementing with creatine.
DO I NEED TO DRINK 5L WATER ON CREATINE?
You should be hydrating appropriately irrespective of whether you’re on creatine or not. Creatine is an osmolyte and tends to direct the flow of water into the skeletal muscles which does mean that if you’re dehydrated while on creatine, you could be subjecting yourself to an even more dehydrated state. By no means will creatine negatively affect your hydration status, after all it tends to have the opposite effect and can positively impact hydration and endurance by making your muscles hold more water, just make sure you drink enough water.
