How Exactly does Creatine Enhance your Training?

Anyone who is serious about their training has heard of the benefits of Creatine. But how can using this supplement enhance your training?

1. High Intensity Training

Creatine can increase your power output and frequency. Your body uses ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) as an energy source during strenuous activity. Unfortunately, the supply of ATP available is very limited.

During exercise, high levels of creatine phosphate help to replenish ATP stores by donating their phosphate group. The enzymatic activity of creatine kinase allows for this reaction and the quick replenishment of the precursor ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) into ATP.

2. Cell Volumizing

Creatine causes cells to retain water, effectively increasing their volume. This increased volume, in turn, causes greater production of structural enzymatic proteins.

3. Increased IGF-1/Glut-4

Research has shown that creatine increases IGF-1 and Glut-4, thereby reducing age-related muscle loss and improving glucose tolerance

While creatine supplementation provides additional benefits the aforementioned are certainly enough for the serious trainee to consider adding as little as 5 grams of creatine monohydrate to a post-workout protocol.
