Creatine is stored in your muscle tissue for use to create your most explosive energy system. Stored creatine is combined with phosphogen in your muscle cells to create energy needed for any activity under 6-8 seconds. Creatine is the major source of energy for weight lifting, jumping, sprinting, hitting in boxing and MMA fighting, and swinging a golf club, baseball bat, or softball bat.
Your body produces 2.5 grams of creatine per day. You need to get 2.5 grams of creatine each day from your diet. Creatine supplements are vital as steak is the most common food choice for create. You would have to eat multiple meals of steak everyday to get adequate amounts of create on a daily basis. The goal of creatine supplements is to give your body the natural grams of creatine you need on a daily basis. (1)
Research has shown that after using creatine supplements your body converts to producing 2g of creatine and you need to get 3g from your creatine supplements. In all cases once a person stops taking a creatine product their normal creatine production resumes.
There is no more loading with creatine supplements. Earlier creatine products were poorly absorbed. The idea was that if you loaded with up to 20g of creatine your body would absorb the 3g you need on a daily basis. The best creatine products have high absorption rates and loading is not longer a successful practice. (2)
Creatine Side Effects
There are no side effects with proper creatine supplementation, as creatine is a natural source your muscles need on a daily basis from your diet. Creatine monohydrate absorbs water from your blood stream into your muscle cells. For those who do not drink enough water dehydration can be a negative side effect. This is not a concern for those drinking proper amounts of water on a daily basis.
Taking more creatine is not going to help. Taking more than recommended creatine grams per day increases your risk of dehydration with no increases in sports performance. Kidneys are the #1 organ effected by dehydration for too much creatine.
