Why we need Creatine Monohydrate

Before I answer the question why we need  Creatine Monohydrate,we must make a basic knowledge about Creatine Monohydrate.Now,let me show what is Creatine Monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is a natural substance that turns into creatine phosphate in the body.Its CAS NO is 6020-87-7. Creatine phosphate helps make a substance called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides the energy for muscle contractions.

The body is able to product some creatine by itself, and can also get creatine from some foods like red meat and oily fish. However, levels of creatine in food sources may be reduced during the process of cooking.Creatine monohydrate supplements are products that contain a very pure form of creatine and are often taken pre/post workout and/or with other supplements like whey protein.


Now, we have an another question what ATP is and how it works in our body. ATP is the immediate source of energy for muscle contraction. Muscle fibers only contain enough ATP to power a few twitches, additional ATP must be drawn from the body’s ATP “pool”. Creatine monohydrate is converted into creatine phosphate in the body to keep the ATP pool filled.What does this mean in the real world? Having a good reservoir of ATP available may help you lift heavier weights for more reps by providing your muscles with enough the fast-converting energy it needs for maximum performance. You’ll often hear this referred to as “explosive energy”.

After this I am sure you have understood how creatine monohydrate works in our body, so you can probably already see some of the benefits of using it. Here’s a list of the possible benefits of taking creatine for someone who is doing intense resistance training (weight training) or a sport which requires high amounts of instant energy (for example a sprinter).
1.Enhanced muscle mass/strength
2.Increased muscle energy availability
3.Increased power output (more sets/reps)
4.Weight gain
5.Enhanced recovery after exercise

But it is not necessary for people in all ages. Creatine usage is generally not recommended for people under the age of 18. This is because of the lack of research of creatine supplementation in teenagers.

We must also control the amount of Creatine Monohydrate.Remember the warn"less is more".More does not mean better,on the contrary,if you take more Creatine Monohydrate, your ATP pool will be  full, excess creatine is excreted (wasted) by the body. What's more,Creatine Monohydrate draws water from the body into muscle cells,so it is important for you to dirnk water when you take Creatine Monohydrate.

By now,I hope you have had a clear understanding of Creatine Monohydrate.
