Creatine - what do you know about it

Creatine belongs to the group of amino acids and is found mainly in muscle tissue (approx. 95%). It is available in the form of phosphocreatine and free creatine, the sum of which for an average-sized man is about 120 g. The energy supplied during and after intense exercise depends largely on the amount of phosphocreatine stored in the muscle. As phosphocreatine stores are depleted during intense exercise, energy availability decreases due to the inability to resynthesise ATP at the rate required to sustain high-intensity exercise. As a result, the ability to maintain maximum effort decreases. The availability of phosphocreatine in the muscle can significantly affect the amount of energy produced during short periods of high-intensity exercise.

Interesting information

A scientific publication published in 2007 in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition reviewed research on creatine. According to the data provided in the article, several hundred scientific studies have been conducted to evaluate creatine monohydrate supplementation in improving exercise performance. Nearly 70% of these studies reported a significant improvement in exercise capacity with creatine supplementation, with average increases in performance typically ranging from 10 to 15%. It was also indicated that almost all studies show that supplementation with creatine monohydrate increases body weight by about 1-2 kg in the first week of loading. The authors report that this may be the result of an improved ability to perform high-intensity exercise through increased phosphocreatine availability and improved ATP synthesis, thereby enabling athletes to train harder and promote greater muscle growth.

Key information about OstroVit Creatine Monohydrate Creapure:

• Source of creatine - crucial for energy, muscles and strength.

• Convenient form - The preparation, available in powder form, ensures a trouble-free supply of the dietary supplement and is perfect for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

The most common supplement form is creatine monohydrate. This is the form that has been used in the majority of research on the topic. This means that most of creatine’s beneficial effects, such as improved upper and lower body exercise performance, have been observed almost exclusively when creatine monohydrate was used. This form is made up of a creatine molecule and a water molecule, though it can be processed in a few ways. Sometimes, the water molecule is removed, resulting in creatine anhydrous. The removal of water increases the amount of creatine in each dose. Creatine anhydrous is 100% creatine by weight, whereas the monohydrate form is about 90% creatine by weight. Other times, the creatine is micronized, or mechanically processed to improve water solubility. In theory, better water solubility could improve your body’s ability to absorb it. Despite these minor differences in processing, each of these forms is probably equally effective when equal doses are given.

In addition to increasing strength, creatine monohydrate can increase water content in muscle cells. This may lead to beneficial effects on muscle growth by sending signals related to cell swelling.  Fortunately, a large amount of research indicates that creatine is safe to consume, and no serious side effects have been reported with its use. When minor side effects do occur, they typically involve an upset stomach or cramping. These side effects may be relieved by consuming several smaller doses, rather than one larger dose.  Because it’s safe, effective and affordable, creatine monohydrate has long been the gold standard for this supplement. Any new forms need to be compared to it before they can be recommended.
