Despite being the most popular muscle building supplement of the last two decades, most creatine users don't know whether they're using the best type and in some cases what it actually does for their physique. Today we'll help you to understand both of these factors effortlessly.
Working as a personal trainer I see folks regularly getting lost in the hype of supplements. Once you learn to spot the difference between a claim (usually followed by an asterisk) and scientific facts it becomes a whole lot easier for you.
We shall teach you which blend has the most research behind it, the results of which are somewhat surprising, and also teach you what to expect when using this particular supplement.
Whether you are taking an Ethyl Esther, Monohydrate, Kre-Alkalyn, Intra-Workout formula or any other blend of this supplement the task it has is the same. This product is designed to increase your explosive strength. It's as simple as that.
What does it actually do inside your body?
If you start running as hard as you can right now you will notice that after around 15 seconds you get an undeniable burning pain in your quadriceps forcing you to stop or slow down. This is called lactic acid. It happens because your creatine levels have essentially ran out. You need to slow down until your body can generate enough for a second short burst.
So by taking on board more of this substance via the use of a sports supplement you increase your body's ability to resist that 'stop' button. You can run harder for a short period longer. This is why athletes use it.
Take that mentality into a gym situation and it allows you to push out one more repetition of an exercise or add an extra plate. This supplement doesn't make you build muscle, but the aftermath of using it will.
This being a billion dollar industry, however, you'll find tons of different companies trying to confuse you when it comes to buying it.
In a refreshing change, the blend with the overwhelming majority of scientific proof behind it isn't actually the most expensive one. In fact it's the cheapest. A monohydrate product is by far and away the most scientifically backed up product out there.
There is more scientific research out there to show the proof behind this blend than any other. This is why, when reading the tub of any new blend, they will often try to say bad things about Monohydrate such as it causes bloating, water retention or upset stomachs. All of these myths have been proven scientifically incorrect but it is marketing talk much like what you'd see in an advert for a supposedly newer, more expensive 'better' razor even though the last one was perfectly fine.
One of the easiest ways to convince someone to spend an extra $40 per month is to frighten them. Even though the side effects they mention aren't proven and have actually been proven to by no more than myths, if people get scared they'll begin seeing things.
Most people who get lost when trying to work out how to build muscle are suckers for hype, that's why the supplement industry is so profitable. But those who understand their training know that the basics work best even in this day and age. The same can be said for creatine supplements. If you're trying to increase your size and strength, stick to the basics to get the best results.
