How important is to take creatine? what is it and how can I get it? and also what are methods to take it? help on this please.. Thanx

I have search around net and I got some information about creatine hope it will help you.
Creatine is a colorless, crystalline substance used in muscle tissue for the production of phosphocreatine, an important factor in the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the source of energy for muscle contraction and many other functions in the body.
Two methods are used for supplementing with creatine. In the loading method, 20 grams of creatine per day (in four divided amounts mixed well in warm liquid) are taken for five to six days. Muscle creatine levels increase rapidly, which is beneficial if a short-term rise in force is needed, such as during a weight-lifting competition, football game, or sprinting. To maintain muscle creatine levels after this loading period, 2–10 grams per day may be effective.

Luke, as a body builder I take creatine. It's use is as posted except for the
fact that you must drink 8 or more glasses of water a day every day as long as your
takeing creatine. What it does is it takes water from the bodies organs and brings it
to all your muscles, be careful with it. When you mix it use a drink containing gluecose
such as gatorade or the like. Do not mix it with anything citric such as orange juice
the citric acid renders the creatine useless in the body.


Luke, one more thing, you can buy it at Walmart for about $12.
