Creatine monohydrate’s
Uses
Creatine monohydrate has been
around since
1832 when Michel Eugene Chevreul discovered it
as a component of skeletal muscle which he then
later called creatine. Creatine monohydrate’s uses
include:
- Help supply energy to muscles
- Increase body muscle mass
- Furthers physical endurance and strength
- Scientific studys have found creatine
increases energy to the brain
- Maximize workout time
Information on Creatine
monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate is a
nitrogenous organic
acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps
to supply energy to muscles. Creatine is naturally
produced in the human body from amino acids
primarily in the kidney and liver. It is transported
in the blood for use by muscles. Approximately
95% of the human body’s total creatine is located
in skeletal muscle. The rest is located in the brain
or heart.
In humans and animals,
approximately half of
stored creatine originates from food (mainly from
fresh meat). Since vegetables do not contain
creatine vegetarians show lower levels of muscle
creatine. With the help of creatine supplementation
vegetarians can compensate for this loss
Although creatine is a natural
component of
food, the amount of food required to supersaturate
the muscle may not be feasible. For example, it
could require 22 pounds of meat daily. Creatine
powder supplementation may be the simplest way
to increasing muscle stores.
Several studies support the use
of creatine
supplementation for enhancing activities that
require short periods of high intensity power and
strength. These include weightlifting, sprinting and
rowing.
Fact that around 2.5 million kg
of creatine are
consumed yearly by athletes in belief that it
furthers their physical endurance and strength. A
quote from Peter w. Schutz “I’m alluding to the fact
that creatine appears to be far more important for
the brain than for the muscle, and that individuals
deficient in creatine, suffer from severe
intelligence deficits, speech problems, and
epilepsy. Underlying this story are insights from
the physiology and biochemistry of creatine, which
invole astute clinical observations, cutting edge
technology, genetic analysis and epidemiological
data, all ultimately suggesting that a particular
form of creatine deficiency may be a major cause of
mental retardation in boys.” The whole situation
suggested that creatine synthesis in the organism
is important for the brain function and
development.
Energy is handled within cells in
the form of
high energy phosphate bonds. Creatine is also a
substance that can form high energy phosphate
bonds helping with the handling of energy.
Creatine has been
demonstrated to cause
modest increases in strength in people with a verity
of neuromuscular disorders. Creatine
supplementation has been, and continues to be,
investigated as a possible therapeutic approach for
the treatment of muscular, neuromuscular,
neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.
A study demonstrated that creatine is twice as
effective as the prescription drug riluzole in
extending the lives of mice with the degenerative
neural disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS,
or Lou Gehrigs disease)
Some individuals may
experience
gastrointestinal symptoms. This only occurs with
the older forms of creatine. If you are asthmatic,
suffer from allergies or any other medical
conditions please consult your doctor before taking
this supplement
Creatine is classified as a
“dietary supplement”
under the 1994 Dietary supplement Health and
Education act.
