Is Creatine right for me?

In the world of supplements it is easy to be lost and confused. How many times have you tried a supplement you saw in a magazine that guaranteed you would pack on insane muscle only to be disappointed with minimum gain?

Arguably the most common supplement is creatine and the question you probably want to know is should you take it and does it work.

To sum it up briefly creatine is a metabolite found in the body, which is composed of 3 amino acids. It is found in the skeletal system in 2 forms, creatine phosphate and free chemically unbound creatine.

The benefits of Creatine have been shown to allow you to exercise longer and harder. It also gives you better pumps during your workout, and faster recovery time.

Contrary to what some believe creatine is completely safe to take. The only side effect is occasional upset stomach, which is most common when taking Creatine with other ingredients. To eliminate this, take Creative monohydrate and ignore all the ads for these other types of Creative.

It is also important that you stay hydrated and drink plenty of water as well as minimize your caffeine intake.

If you are looking to gain weight and add muscle mass safely and effectively then Creatine along with your high protein diet is going to be the best way to do just that.
