someone tell me all you know about creatine?

Question

What is it?
How much do I need to work out with it?
I've got very little belly fat... does it matter?

5'11" 160 lbs

I want to tone and I thought this would help a bit.

Do I need to take it every day or just when I plan to excercise?

Is it good with cardio workouts?

Answer 1

Creatine increases your energy so you can workout longer and harder. In changes ADP back into ATP. ATP is what provides energy to your muscles (it's produced by the body). As your muscles burn energy, the ATP changes to ADP and you eventually get tired. Supplementing with Creatine will change the ADP back into ATP more quickly than if there were no supplementation, this results in a more constant source of energy. Your body produces some Creatine, but supplementing it gives a boost.

Belly fat doesn't matter. You follow the instructions on the Creatine container in regards to how much you take. When you take it, you will get what is known as the "creatine bloat." Not all the creatine will enter the cells and be used, rather, it will remain on the outside of the cells and retain water. So, when you begin taking creatine you will notice an almost immediate weight gain of at least 5 pounds. You will need to drink much more water during the first few days of starting creatine. If you want to avoid the bloat, you can buy Creatine Ethyl Esther, which is creatine with an esther attached to it. This esther makes it easier for creatine to enter the cells, so you do not need to take as much creatine and there isn't creatine sitting outside the cells retaining water. Creatine Ethyl Esther isn't as readily available, I've purchased it only from bodybuilding.com. Creatine EE costs more and tastes terrible than regular creatine. Regular creatine doesn't have much of a taste at all.

Answer 2

Don't concentrate to those absolute idiots^^ Creatine could make your muscle tissue seem puffy from the additional water they're preserving however this has not ever occurred to me and can leave whilst you cycle off. two. I almost always achieve approximately a million-2kg of water weight however this may occasionally drop off inside days off cycleing off. three. Yes satisfactory force earnings from creatine. No validated aspect results and ive not ever experinced any aspect results. four. Not certain what you imply right here?? creatine doesnt make your achieve muscle extra of a force complement.

Answer 3

Creatine is a muscle enhancer but I am not sure what it clinically is. It is very safe if you drink a lot of water through out the day. Do not substitute any other drink for the water. You will dehydrate quickly while on creatine. You can also experience muscle cramps if you do not drink enough water. It will bulk you up faster than working out without it. Good luck.

Answer 4

Others have told you about how to use Creatine, but I would suggest not using it until you've learned how to exercise first. Creatine is not necessary for a tone body. If anything, I would suggest adding lean protein to your diet.
