Creatine is a supplement for those who want to build muscle mass and improve their performance in the gym. It is very popular among bodybuilders as it helps enhance strength too.

Creatine has similar properties to amino acids in that it helps to build protein which mainly comes from your diet, especially red meat and fish.
Creatine is stored in the muscles and allows you to perform better during exercise by producing a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and it is this molecule that can elevate your gym routine. It is also known that this supplement can alter several cellular processes that lead to increased muscle mass, strength, and recovery which is why it's great for those who are into weight lifting. It reduces muscle breakdown from intense workouts and increases the water content that allows the increase in muscle mass.

Other benefits include:

• Aids muscle repair
• Muscle regrowth
• Increases anabolic hormones
• Increases cell hydration
• Can promote brain health
• Can help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

It can also help with strength, sprint ability, and resistance to fatigue. Another added benefit of taking this supplement is that you can take it regardless of your fitness level. It's not just for regular gym goers.

The most common type of Creatin supplement is Creatine Monohydrate. The best way to take this supplement is to partake in a loading phase which is where you take a higher dose for the first week and then a maintenance load after that, which is a regular dose.
