Some Pros and Cons Of Creatine Monohydrate

by

It has been more than ten years, but I do remember the very first time that I gave it a try.

So many of my friends liked the idea of using it and a lot of advertisements and magazines talked about the major muscle gains that I wanted to achieve.

When compared with taking something artificial that might promise that mass would be built, taking creatine, which is a natural protein already produced by the body, does not seem as dangerous.

Let’s go into a few of the pros and cons of creatine, as there are definitely arguments to be made on both ends. Ultimately, the decision as to whether it’s right for you or not will be in your hands. On the positive side of things, it’s been scientifically proven to speed up the recovery time of your muscles. What does this mean?

Essentially, this means that you will have the ability to lift weights for a longer amount of time without getting as tired as you normally would. So, by putting extra effort into your workouts to build mass, you will get stronger and have increased lean muscle mass.

In a nutshell, creatine does indeed work. Just be sure to work out consistently in order to get the best results from it, or your time will be wasted. Looking to the negative side of this, you can get dehydrated from taking it. So, your water consumption needs to be increased during the middle of a cycle of creatine.

There are some people who believe that, because of the water weight that is added from taking the supplement, many of the gains you make are because of this. They also feel that they look bloated because of that. It is true that your body is going to retain more water when you are taking it, but that is not the whole story. Both muscle and water weight combined is what you will be putting on, so, no matter what, you are still going to have the results to show for it.

What it comes down to is this: deciding which way to go is definitely just your decision.

You may want to try it out in moderation to see if it is something you would want to commit to in larger portions.
