When it comes to creatine it is very easy to get lots in hype and marketing jargon. Today we look at what this substance actually does and which particular type is the superior according to science.
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.
You're going to see exactly what this product is capable of doing and which blend is the most scientifically proven to work.
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.
So how does it do this?
Remember back to when you were a kid and you used to run as fast as you could for as long as you could. What happened? Usually you'd experience a tingly, burning sensation in your legs. This pain is called Lactic Acid and is your body forcing you to stop or slow down. You can't perform explosively until your body has regenerated it's levels of this very substance we're discussing today. Once it's ready, you'll be able to enjoy a second wind.
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.
Think about it. If you have more of this substance in your bloodstream while you hit the gym you will notice an increase in your explosive ability. This could mean one more rep in the bench press or a new personal best weight.
With all the different blends out there, however, it can be almost impossible knowing which one to purchase.
When it comes to science fact rather than science fiction, one blend stands above the others. Believe it or not that blend is Monohydrate. That's correct, the oldest and in most cases the most affordable of the whole range.
There is more evidence and research behind monohydrate than any other blend. Perhaps more than all of them put together. But as it's common knowledge that it's a cheap product to manufacture, companies have a difficult time trying to market new formulas. This is why they say unproven negative side effects occur with monohydrate such as water retention and bloating - both of which have been scientifically studied and proven wrong. It's like when a razor company sells a new product. Why should you spend $20 on a new razor when the last one was perfectly fine? They'll tell you the last one is obsolete and hype up the new one, of course. But ultimately they'd stop selling the old product if it was as bad as they make out when their new one is developed...
They need a reason for you to stop spending $10 per month and start spending $50 per month, basically.
When it comes to how to build muscle with creatine it's important to stick to the basics for the most scientifically backed up results. Over the last twenty years or so, this one particular muscle building supplement has enjoyed more tests and studies than any other product of it's kind. Simply put, you cannot go wrong with it.
