Creatine Monohydrate

The second health supplement that I wanted to go over on my blog post is creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate has been proven over and over again with hundreds of scientific research studies that it is one of the best supplements to take for countless benefits. The overwhelming majority of scientific literature and studies over the decades that it has been studied have also proven the safety and efficacy of taking creatine monohydrate as a supplement.

While creatine monohydrate has too many benefits to count, I will list some of the more important benefits you can expect to receive when you supplement with it.

Creatine monohydrate helps you to:

• Train more intensely and for longer
• Increases muscle size and strength
• Allows you to achieve more weight lifting repetitions before fatigue

While creatine monohydrate is very similar to whey in that it increases your muscle's size and strength, they differ in many ways. For example, creatine allows for your body to produce energy more rapidly which can lead to greater hypertrophy due to the ability to lift the weight longer. Whey protein is different in that it allows for muscle hypertrophy by repairing your damaged muscles and supplying your body with the amino acid building blocks it needs to grow bigger and stronger.

Unlike whey protein, creatine monohydrate more often does not come with any fillers or things that can be very bad for your health. Just look for a supplement that is only creatine monohydrate, no fillers or proprietary blends (meaning the company chose to create their product with unlisted amounts of their products).

Despite what many people say, people can use 3-5 mg of creatine a day without the need to cycle off of it ever. If they stay consistent with their intake, they should see very noticeable improvements of muscle size and strength!
