What Is Creatine
Monohydrate?
Creatine is a metabolite
produced in the body
composed of three amino
acids: l-methionine, l-arginine
and l-glycine.
Approximately 95% of the
concentration is found
in skeletal muscle in
two forms: creatine
phosphate and free
chemically unbound
creatine. The remaining
5% of the creatine
stored in the body is
found in the brain,
heart and testes. The
body of a sedentary
person metabolizes and
average of 2 grams of
creatine a day.
Bodybuilders due to
their high intensity
training metabolize
higher amounts than
that.
Creatine is generally
found in red meats and
to some extent in
certain types of fish.
However it would be hard
to get the amount of
creatine necessary for
performance enhancement
as even though 2.2lbs of
red meat or tuna contain
approximately between 4
to 5 grams of creatine,
the compound is
destroyed with cooking.
Therefore, the best way
to get creatine is by
taking it in powder form.
How Does Creatine Work?
In addition, creatine
provides for faster
recovery in between sets
and increased tolerance
to high volume work. The
way it does this is by
enhancing the body's
ability to produce
Adenosine Triphosphate
(ATP). ATP is the
compound that your
muscles use for fuel
whenever they contract.
ATP provides its energy
by releasing one of its
phosphate molecules (it
has three phosphate
molecules).
After the
release of such
molecule, ATP becomes
ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) as it now
only has two molecules.
The problem is that
after 10 seconds of
contraction time the ATP
fuel extinguishes and in
order to support further
muscle contraction
glycolisis (glycogen
burning) has to kick in.
That is fine and well
except for the fact that
as a byproduct of that
mechanism lactic acid is
produced. Lactic acid is
what causes the burning
sensation at the end of
the set. When too much
lactic acid is produced,
your muscle contractions
stop, thereby forcing
you to stop the set.
However, by taking creatine, you can extend
the 10 second limit of
your ATP system as creatine provides ADP
the phosphate molecule
that it is missing
(recall that creatine is
stored in the muscle as
creatine phosphate). By
upgrading your body's
ability of regenerating
ATP, you can exercise
longer and harder as you
will minimize your
lactic acid production
and you will be able to
take your sets to the
next level and reduce
fatigue levels.
