Creatine
supplements
Creatine is an
amino acid that is
naturally formed and
found in a human body,
mostly in the skeletal
muscle. A normal body
normally generates
Creatine partly from
our diet and also on
its own. A normal
healthy person has
nearly 120g of
Creatine, majority of
it in the form of PCr
compound. A body can
preserve a maximum of
0.3 g of Creatine per
kilogram of the body
mass. A human body
normally produces 2g
of Creatine every day.
The good food sources
for Creatine are red
meat and fish. Half
pound of meat gives
nearly 1g of Creatine
for a body. Creatine
that is not got from
the food is
manufactured by the
internal amino acids
of our body
endogeneously.
In spite of
Creatine being
produced by a human
body itself, Creatine
can also be consumed
exogenously for
generation any
additional energy.
Creatine is consumed
as an additional
supplement by most of
the athletes and
people who participate
in sports like
weightlifting,
wrestling and
sprinting which
requires lots of
energy. Creatine also
helps in the increase
of muscle mass also,
Creatine is believed
for having a stronger
muscle. However,
creating creatine
supplements
exogenously might
decrease the normal
production of creatine
by a human body.
You can consume the
Creatine supplements
in the forms of pills,
capsules and powder.
Creatine pills contain
Creatine Monohydrate
to be the basic
ingredient apart from
polyvinylpyrrolidone,
microcrystalline
cellulose, sorbitol,
modified starch,
silica, magnesium
stearate and silica.
The compound Creatine
monohydrate is
converted to
PhosphoCreatine in the
tissue of the muscle.
The compound Creatine
Phosphate preserves
the energy in the
tissue of muscle to
release it ready
whenever our body is
over exerted. The
normal instructed
dosage is 2-5 pills
just before the
exercise and 2-3
tables after the
exercise. If consumed
in the loading
process, dosage
recommended is five
tablets to be taken
four times in a day
for five days till a
muscle comes to
saturation.
Many of the
manufacturers of
Creatine pills claim
that these pills are
hypoallergenic acid.
These pills don’t
contain dairy, yeast,
egg, soy, wheat or
gluten and also
starch, sugar, salt,
other preservatives
flavors or fragrance
or artificial color.
Creatine tables are
found in the market in
500g, 100g and even
1Kg bottles. A normal
bottle contains 120 to
350 tablets or
sometimes even more.
These tablets are also
found in the market in
Chewable form.
