Creatine Powder Muscle: Powder vs. Liquid Creatine…

January 31, 2010 | Comments (0)

Probably the most popular supplement to hit the shelves, creatine powder has been regarded with a well practiced degree of scrutiny by consumers and medical professionals alike, who are not entirely convinced as to the inherent value of the supplement.

One debate that has cropped up time and time again in a variety of different circles has been that of whether creatine powder hypergain Creatine Powder Muscle: Powder vs. Liquid Creatine...creatine monohydrate powder is more effective than liquid creatine.

Some consumers have raised the rather cynical point that they feel that the difference is minute, and is simply a means of tricking them out of more money for an inferior product or products which appear to be different in terms of effect, but are a complete double.

Whether to buy creatine monohydrate powder, serum or liquid has now become a contentious topic indeed.

The difficulty of answering this topic has been further hindered due to ambiguous content released by some unscrupulous parties and this information has at times been a genuine mistake, based on misinformation and in a select few an outright lie.

As  a general rule of thumb, any outlet or supplier that claims that their own brand of creatine serum can be instantly absorbed by the body is a con artist and is simply trying to embellish the limited value of their product in order to make you part with your money more easily.

The truth of the matter is that irrespective of the form in which creatine is ingested in, the body will still need time to digest and break it down into a useful substance to fuel the various chemical reactions throughout the body.

Another warning sign to be especially wary of in relation to creatine serum is that the serum is “100% stable” or any other such variations of this same sentiment.

One of the problems of creatine is that it is unstable meaning that when it is ingested and digested in the body, it will then be converted into a waste product which causes the adverse side effects.

Whilst we are on the topic of quality control, please ensure that whenever you do make a purchase from a supplier for creatine powder or serum that it is from a legitimate and licensed retailer and furthermore, that the creatine itself has been produced in the countries which are legally entitled to so do so.

These are China, America and France. You may also want to look on the internet to secure the best creatine powder supplier for you.

Creatine Powder Controversy!

January 9, 2010 | Comments (1)

Creatine powder has been the latest body building supplement to hit the market and has courted no shortage of controversy for one simple reason:

…it is the new kid on the block and there is not a great deal of empirical evidence as to the risks associated with it.creatine pills Creatine Powder Controversy!

Many consumers have went about to buy creatine monohydrate powder without actually educating themselves as to what they are ingesting, and then proceed to take way more than they should.

This makes things much difficult, to assess and anaylse.

Before you do decide to buy creatine, please make sure you read the following points so as to provide yourself with a better appreciation for what this supplement is.

Pure creatine, liquid creatine, creatine powder, it does not matter what shape or form it comes in, as creatine is the same irrespective of how it is packaged and it is derived from amino acids (which are themselves, the building blocks and chemical components which are used to create proteins).

Upon hearing this many novice and health conscious body builders get extremely alarmed by this as they are concerned that the creatine supplement is synthetic and therefore bad for you.

In truth, we already consume creatine and most likely on a daily basis because it is typically located in a number of different types of meat including chicken and beef and it is not solely used within the body building profession but also within the medical community as well in a bid to tackle some specific types of neurological disorders.

There have been side effects reported by people who have used creatine, and these include the likes of:

  • Abdominal cramping. A tight, unpleasant “clenching” sensation in the abdominal region, this is caused due to higher levels of water being retained by the body which is unfortunately a side effect of the creatine supplement.
  • A more worrying side effect that has been reported by users is that there is a risk of dependency developing, whereby the body becomes dependant on the drug for sustenance. Many users have reported that after taking the supplement for a number of months and then stopping, they have noticed a significant lag in their overall fitness, energy levels and general motivation to exercise.
  • There has also been anecdotal evidence to suggest that water retention maybe taken to the extreme meaning that the user appears to be overweight when they are not (suffer from facial and abdominal bloating.)Before taking creatine powder please consult with your physician.
