Creatine is a natural compound that boosts ATP production in muscle cells, increasing strength and work capacity. The video debunks myths about water retention, kidney damage, and cycling, and recommends 5g daily of plain creatine monohydrate, the most researched and affordable form.
Yo, what is going on? It is time for an informative video today, and we are going to be talking about Datdere Creatine. Let's get it started. So, what is creatine? Creatine is a chemical or an organic acid that is produced in our body, and we can also get it from certain foods. It helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, mainly muscle, by increasing the formation of ATP. Stated simply, creatine is a stored form of energy that can be quickly accessed by our body. It is also one of the most proven and scientifically researched supplements out there, and it's also very cheap, which is great. So what are the benefits of taking creatine? As we said, it increases intramuscular energy, which will in turn increase our work capacity. Increased work capacity will mean we can lift more weight for more reps. More weight for more reps will lead to progressive overload. Progressive overload equals gains. It also has a list of other health benefits, improving, increasing cognitive function. Did I say that right? Cognitive. Cognitive. Cognitive? Co— cognitive. Cognitive. Now let's go through some creatine myths. Number 1: Creatine causes water retention. Well, creatine does cause water retention, but not in the way you think. Creatine causes intramuscular water retention, which means instead of pulling the water into your fat cells, it pulls them into your muscle cells, giving you that full and pumped look. A lot of competitors who go up on stage, they drop creatine and they end up not looking as full as the competitors who take creatine right up until show day. Number 2: Creatine is bad for the kidneys. Nope. Um, we have plenty of research showing the safety of creatine, which I'll of course link below. That's what I'm all about— that there research. Number 3: Creatine needs to be cycled. Nope, you can take creatine year-round, especially as it's so cheap. Number 4: Creatine is bad for females. Pfft. No. Just no. I don't know about you, but I like my ladies strong— in the bedroom. So, what creatine to take and how? Just go for simple creatine monohydrate. It's the most researched form of creatine and the most proven. It's also the cheapest. An 80-day supply from my friends over at NXT will cost you just 30 cents a day. Take 5 grams daily, um, preferably pre-workout, but it doesn't really matter, and a loading phase isn't necessary. So I hope you found this video informative. It's another one that I can now link to people whenever they ask me anything about creatine. I hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and I'll come out with more videos during the week. I'm out.
