Creatine is regarded as a ‘gym bro’ supplement. However, it is so much more than that.
It is one of the most researched substances out there. And it is one of the most used supplements by athletes for a reason.
Here are some of its benefits. Some may surprise you…
1. Aids Muscle growth and recovery
Creatine helps activate satellite cells in your muscles, which helps the micro-tears (caused by exercise) to heal. It also increases anabolic hormones such as insulin, human growth hormone (HGH), estrogen and testosterone. It boosts water content in muscle cells. Better cell hydration may increase muscle growth and reduce dehydration and muscle cramps.
2. Cognitive Benefits
It improves memory and helps reduce mental fatigue
3. Bone density benefits
Creatine has been shown to increase bone density. Creatine combined with resistance training (which has been shown to help bone geometry) is a brilliant way to improve your bone health.
4. Improves athletic performance
Your muscle cells use adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is the “energy currency” your cells use to perform many of their functions. Creatine helps you to replenish ATP. The more creatine you have, the more energy your muscle cells can produce during high-intensity exercise. This leads to enhanced performance.
5. Increases cellular hydration
Proper cellular hydration is crucial for overall health and well-being. It plays a vital role in regulating body temperature, keeping the joints lubricated, supporting organ function, preventing infections, and delivering essential nutrients to cells throughout the body.
6. Safe and effective for nearly everyone.
It is one of the most heavily researched supplements out there. Some people may experience some bloating but that is it. No, it does not cause hair loss!
