Found in human body, creatine helps for the supply of energy to muscle. The body produces creatine in liver, kidney and pancreas. Fish and meat are also good sources of producing creatine.<br \/>\nCreatine is commonly sold as powders, liquids, tablets, capsules, energy bars, fruit-flavored chews and drink mixes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtejustify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_forms_of_creatine\"><\/span><strong>Different forms of creatine<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">There are different forms in which Creatine supplements are available:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"rtejustify\">Creatine HydroChloride<\/li>\n<li class=\"rtejustify\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000cd;\">Creatine Monohydrate<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"rtejustify\">Creatine Blends<\/li>\n<li class=\"rtejustify\">Creatine Ethyl Ester<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"hk-content-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/creatine-why-use-it_05.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><u><em>Image Source: Bodybuilding.com<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtejustify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_Creatine_Do\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>What does Creatine Do?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">In a human body, creatine is stored in skeletal muscle and is consumed during the physical activity. Apart from that creatine is also used by heart, brain, and other tissues.<br \/>\nAccording to a research, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/creatine?navKey=SCT-snt-pw-ct\">creatine supplement<\/a> is consumed a body is expected to generate and enhance the energy levels of a human muscle at a faster pace. In early 1920\u2019s, scientist discovered that eating large amounts of creatine may lead to higher storage within the muscle mass.<br \/>\nCreatine can also be termed as \u2018energy boosting\u2019 supplement used to enhance the athletic performance of athletes, bodybuilder, weight lifters, sprinters etc.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtejustify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Creatine_Work\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>How Does Creatine Work?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">During a workout or any kind of physical activity, blood transports creatine to our muscles. An enzyme called Creatine Kinase works on ADP (Adenosine Di Phosphate) and converts it to ATP (Adenosine Tri Phosphate) or energy.<br \/>\nConsumption of creatine helps to produce more of Phospho Creatine which is stored in muscle. During a workout, these two i.e. Creatine Kinase + Phospho Creatine, combine to make more of ATP out of ADP or energy, helping you for a more strenuous activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">In 2010, a study revealed that an 8 week cycle of creatine with continuous workout results in lower myostatin levels in the body. Myostatin is a protein that limits the growth of skeletal muscle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">In 2009, a study experimented that a 7 day loading cycle, followed by a 14 day maintenance cycle, led to increased DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels. This DHT is usually synthesized in the body via testosterone (usually 5% of testosterone is converted to DHT) and is a more potent androgen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">There are numerous other studies also that have demonstrated the relevance of Creatine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"hk-content-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how to take creatine.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><u><em>Image Source: T-nation.com<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtejustify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_take_Creatine\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>How to take Creatine?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">There have been different opinions on when to take Creatine.

There is no one particular time at which everyone should take creatine for better creatine benefits.<br \/>\nAnd as far as the question of \u201cHow much creatine should I take?\u201d is concerned &#8211;<br \/>\nCreatine supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a doctor. Take 5g of creatine monohydrate, 4 times daily (20s total daily) for 2 to 5 days. Maintenance dose in exercise performance (for adults ages 19 and older): Take 2g daily. For best results take it with carbohydrate foods, such as fruits, fruit juices, and starches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><em>Stay tuned for the upcoming article on <strong><a style=\"color: #25ade3!important;\" href=\"\/creatine-benefits-usage-and-side-effects\/bid-5992\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000cd;\">Creatine Benefits and Side Effects<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creatine supplements are consumed by many bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.
