Creatine is bodybuilding's ultimate supplement, and for good reason. For one thing, creatine can significantly increase lean muscle mass in just two weeks. It is also responsible for improving performance in high-intensity exercise, increasing energy levels, and speeding up recovery rates. It's no wonder athletes who use it have such of an edge over those who do not. Soon nearly every athlete who competes will use it (if they don't already). Creatine's ability to enhance energy reserves in muscles comes from its muscle protein synthesizing action, while minimizing protein breakdown. This occurs because creatine has the awesome effect of super-hydrating muscle cells with water. It enhances muscles' growth too-making muscle fibers bigger and stronger.

Quite a few studies have been done on creatine to figure out why and how it works so well. There have been over twenty double blind (meaning neither the researchers nor the subjects knew who was getting what), placebo-controlled studies conducted on creatine in the past five years. They proved that creatine increased energy levels, resulting in increased strength, endurance levels, and recovery rates. Another unexpected benefit attributed to creatine was discovered as well: creatine accelerates fat loss, while building lean body mass!

It has been theorized that a limited supply of ATP is one of the major limiting factors in maintaining peak muscle performance. Clinical studies have demonstrated that in increasing total creatine pools through supplementation can increase maximum performance for short-duration, high-impact efforts.

Twelve subjects performed 5 bouts of 30 voluntary knee extensions with 1 minute recovery periods between each bout. Subjects were tested for peak muscle torque production before and after treatment with either placebo or creatine. The treatment period lasted 5 days and consisted of a placebo 4 times a day or 5g of creatine 4 times a day plus 1g of glucose a day. Subjects who were administered the placebo demonstrated no difference in performance. In the creatine group, however, peak muscle torque production increased in all subjects during the final 10 contractions of exercise in bout 1,throughout the entirety of exercise in bouts 2, 3, and 4, and during contractions 11-20 of bout 5 after supplementation. Researchers concluded that creatine supplementation increased the level of peak torque production during repeated bouts of maximal voluntary muscle contractions (5).*

In a similar study, researchers divided sixteen subjects into two groups receiving either 20g per day creatine monohydrate, or placebo (glucose), for a six day treatment period. Before and after the treatment period, subjects performed high-intensity exercise consisting of 10 six-second bouts on a cycle ergometer with a 30 second recovery period in between attempting to maintain a pedaling frequency of 140 revolutions per minute. There was no difference in exercise output between the two groups before the treatment period. After treatment, however, the group supplementing with creatine monohydrate displayed an easier time maintaining the target speed towards the end of each exercise bout than the placebo group (6).*

• ATP is broken down for energy. When ATP runs out, Phosphocreatine is broken down to regenerate ATP.
• Increasing Phosphocreatine increases the amount of ATP that can be regenerated.
• Increasing ATP increases strength and speed.
• Phosphocreatine can be increased through Creatine Monohydrate supplementation.
• Creatine Phosphate and Creatine Citrate are ineffective for Phosphocreatine augmentation.
• Creatine increases strength, which allows for more intensity to be generated, which in turns facilitates more growth.
• Creatine increases the rate of protein synthesis by drawing more water into the muscle cell.
• Creatine reduces muscle catabolism by decreasing the use of branched chain amino acids for energy.
• Positive benefits of Creatine saturation can remain in the body for 2 months after usage has stopped.
• Dosages should be divided into two phases: 1) a loading phase, 2) maintenance phase. Loading phases intend to saturate the body with Creatine levels, maintenance phases allow for the saturation to be maintained.
• Athletes under 220 lbs. should use 5 x 5 gm of CM during the loading phase, and 2 x 5 gm during the maintenance phase.
  Athletes over 220 lbs. should use 6 x 5 gm of CM during the loading phase, and 2-3 x 5 gm during the maintenance phase.
• Creatine should be taken with juice or a carbohydrate drink to increase absorption.
• Sufficient hydration levels must be maintained for optimum CM absorption. Drink 1-2 gallons of water daily.
• Orange juice contains acids which denatures CM into a waste product. Do not take Creatine with orange juice. Caffeine excretes water from the body, negating Creatine's cell volumizing effects.
• Creatine can be taken by placing the powder in the mouth and then washing it down with juice or a carbohydrate drink , or by mixing it with those before drinking.
• Creatine powder is more efficient than Creatine tablets or capsules.
• Creatine should not be combined with hot liquids as this changes the chemical structure of the monohydrate molecule.
