 Creatine is a supplement that has been around for years now. Today I am going to talk about a few things including the side effects of creatine and what it does to the Body. Creatine is a natural supplement that When supplemented correctly will increase ATP,  phosphocreatine levels, cell hydration, and protein synthesis,  reduce myostatin levels, anti-inflammatory effects, and satellite cell activity.

First of all, increased ATP generation is also linked with other side effects of creatine, the ATP.  ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate this is the primary energy source the cells go to when doing a hard session of anything including heavy sprints and heavy weightlifting what creatine does is restore this ATP source a lot faster than it normally would have.

The second is increased phosphocreatine levels, this is what the creatine is stored as inside the muscle meaning the creatine basically gets turned into something when supplemented. It should be noted that when supplementing creatine you increase your natural store by about thirty percent.

The third is cell hydration this one is pretty simple. What creatine does when supplemented is go into the muscle as phosphocreatine and hydrate the muscle to a point where your muscles are far more capable and don't run or dry out as quickly.

It is also shown that creatine promotes muscle synthesis. Meaning it is shown to also help in producing more muscle cells.

Studies also show as well that it decreases myostatin levels. Myostatin is a protein that only allows your body to make certain amounts of muscle.  It is also shown to have anti-inflammatory effects meaning you will recover far more quickly and have less pain in doing so.

All in all, creatine is the most researched supplement in the business. A lot of people will also say that creatine has bad side effects. If supplemented properly creatine most likely will not give any extremely bad side effects. Some people have felt gut and stomach issues when they supplement too much at one time but these cases are few and far between.

There are many different types of creatine but let me tell you there is one type of creatine that is the cheapest and the best, and that is creatine monohydrate it costs about fifty cents for one serving of this and it is also proven to work just as well if not better than all the other types of creatine.
