If there is one muscle supplement that is most effective, it is Creatine. There are many forms or products, go for Creatine Monohydrate, or CreaPure thay are the only form proven in research,

Actually your body does create CREATINE. The one u take is extra.
But be careful though, prolonged taking will cause your body to stop producing creatine, resulting in fatigue and listlessness.
So, according to a fren, it will be better to take creatine for a month, then stop for one month, then again and again.
And oh ya, drink more water. -
It is true that once you take 1 teaspoon of Creatine daily, you body will stopped producing Creatine. It takes 30 day of taking 1 teaspoon daily to saturate your muscles with Creatine. This is when maximum result occurs in terms of more reps, heavier weight you can lift and weight gain. Take a month then stop a month mean one month result from Creatine and 1 month no result from Creatine. I have not heard of Creatine causing fatique, since Creatine stored extra energy in the muscles as Creatine Phosphate.Originally posted by fishing7:Actually your body does create CREATINE.

First, let me say that I sell supplements, so my opinion may be biased.Originally posted by s|nNeD:i've heard things like too much creatine is not good for the liver or something to that extent...

Taking Creatine is as safe as reasonable high protein intake by bodybuilders (up to 1g per pound body weight). There is no evidence that Creatine cause liver or kidneys damages in reasonable dose (I recommend 5g per day). 5g for 30 days will give the maximum ergogenic effects. There are short term studies that examined the blood parameters of Creatine users for 3 months and found no changes in various enzymes markers. -

Q. I am a 21 years old male. I joined a gym three months back and want a heavy body build. My coach suggested whey protein or creatine for use but I am confused regarding the use of these products. I read in a newspaper that they are harmful for the body and want to know about their side effects. Should I use them or not?
A. There are no recorded side effects of whey proteins as such if taken as per required dosages.
1. There could be allergic reactions in people suffering from lactose
intolerance.
2. Overuse can cause liver damage.
Training athletes often consume 25 grams of whey proteins per day. Body builders consume up to 150 grams per day. Extremely high doses are not recommended as this can cause the body's liver to be overloaded and you will not get the same benefits as with consistent lower amount taken 3-5 times per day. Though protein products may not be harmful by themselves, but, if not accompanied by regular exercises, they may lead to unwanted weight gain. Supplements do not build muscles, exercises DO.
Creatine promotes water retention in muscles. To utilize the effects of creatine avoid caffeine. Caffeine offsets the absorption and effects of creatine.

without proper nutrition, NO muscles will be growing even if you train like a dog
in Singapore, it is difficult to find proper nutrition outside, unless you cook em yourself..but tell me..who do that EVERYDAY? very few is the answer...
so, easy way out, supplements -
btw, Celltech is very effective..my friend loaded celltech for a month and i can see the difference...
you pay for what you get, in this case
for me..i take the 'temporary' creatine..no loading required..it can be found in GNC, the drip type...selling at 50 bucks or so....
its quite good..gives you a temporary boost of strength
