Whats Creatine?!
Question:
Whats Creatine?
what does creatine do? is it a steroid? does it make penis size smaller?what are some side effects? and is there a difference between german and chinese creatine?
Answers:
It is NOT a steroid and WILL NOT make you fat.
Creatine is a natural constituent of meat, mainly found in red meat. Creatine is a nutrient naturally found in all our bodies. It is a combination of 3 amino acids; arginine, glycine and methionine. Creatine helps provide the energy our muscles need to move, particularly quick and explosive movements. Muscle contraction is initially fuelled by ATP (adenosine-triphosphate).
Creatine does not make YOU stronger or faster, YOU make YOU faster or stronger. Creatine allows you to train at a higher intensity level and to recover faster.
If you are a heavy consumer of red meat, don't expect dramatic results from creatine supplementation (1 pound of beef equals approximately 2 grams of creatine, and 4.6 grams in every pound of herring. Over 2 grams per pound in most fish).
As for the German/Chinese creatine don't bother worrying about it. Just go to GNC or order some good Powdered Creatine.
