Creatine Creatine supplements are athletic aids used to
increase high-intensity athletic performance Creatine use can increase maximum power and
performance in high-intensity anaerobic repetitive work
Works best for low louts of sprinting/cycling/ or multiple sets of low rep weight lifting
Creatine can add body mass gains of about 1kg in a weeks time
However studies suggest that this is in large part to greater water retention inside the muscle cells
Creatine Side Effects People who tend to have naturally high
stores of creatine in their muscles don't get an energy-boosting effect from extra creatine
“Preliminary clinical studies also suggest that creatine's ability to increase muscle mass and strength may help fight muscle weakness associated with illnesses such as heart failure and muscular dystrophy”
