Increasing muscle cell fluid content increases muscle cell volume – muscle size. Increasing cell volume also increases muscle leverage and strength. It’s believed that increasing cell volume through creatine use also enhances protein synthesis by creating a “friendlier” growth environment within the cell. This what you want and this is what creatine does.

A conclusive review of the scientific literature has shown that high-protein diets have little or no effect on kidney function.

There is a very simple solution here. Don’t drink any alcohol if you are concerned that it may ruin the effects of creatine. Concern eliminated.

The average adult can expect to gain approximately 1 pound of fat every year between ages 30 to 60, and lose about a half pound of muscle over that same time span.

Results showed that the group who followed the high protein diet kept off all the body fat that they lost in the first six weeks, whereas the high-carb group gained a significant proportion of their weight back.

Most dedicated athletes such as bodybuilders totally freak out if they have to miss a week or two of training for whatever reason.

Creatine supplementation builds bigger stronger biceps, pecs, quads etc, which are examples of skeletal muscle – muscle that is responsible for structure and function. The heart is a muscle that is similar to skeletal muscles yet very different.

Despite its popularity and effectiveness, some fallacies still exist about this supplement. One of these is an unfounded concern about muscle cramps and dehydration.
