The Effectiveness and Safety of Using Creatine in Your Supplement Program

Recent studies have determined that Creatine helps to prevent testosterone depletion from heavy training. Creatine also appears to have similar beneficial effects on oxygen - carrying hemoglobin levels, extremely important for maintaining a supply of oxygen to muscles.

Recommended Daily Usage

Follow the label of any Creatine product you purchase, but generally speaking, you will want to keep your daily intake at around five grams (5 g) daily.

When to Consume Creatine

Take Creatine mixed with a protein drink and some complex carbohydrates approximately 15 minutes post workout. It is essential you consume Creatine at that time in order to fill the anabolic window and to provide your body with the essential nutrients and amino acids necessary to maximize your muscle gains in the subsequent recovery period.

Is Creatine Safe?

Yes. Yet again, current research continues to conclude that Creatine is safe by all standards. For a complete list of research which has come to this general conclusion, please contact the Webmaster for more information.
