Creatine monohydrate can rightly lay claim to being most popular and arguably most effective bodybuilding supplement currently available. The beauty of creatine is that it is 100% natural and occurs in many foods so it's unlikely to be banned from any sports or competitions.Let's first establish what creatine actually is. In brief, creatine is produced naturally in our bodies to help supply energy to muscles. It is produced in liver, pancreas and kidneys before being transported in blood to our muscles. It is then converted into phosphocreatine which is a powerful metabolite used to regenerate muscles' ATP source of energy. From a bodybuilder's perspective, creatine can significantly increase lean muscle mass quickly, improve performance in high intensity exercise, raise energy levels and speed up recovery rates. Creatine's ability to raise energy in muscles is due to its muscle protein synthesizing action whilst reducing breakdown of protein. This happens because creatine has effect of super-hydrating muscle cells with water. It also improves muscle growth adding size and strength to muscle fibers.
