In today's society many people are striving towards perfection in the pursuit of the perfect body or the most physically fit body, but some of these people may not be using the right method. This paper will show that the method of creatine consumption is not the safest, healthiest or even best method of choice. Along with my personal opinion I will be adding factual information to support my ideas on the consumption of creatine. Creatine supplementation was introduced by manufactures in early 1995. Creatine monohydrate enters into the body to help form phosphocreatine which then helps to yield ATP from ADP using the phosphate group. The production of more ATP allows muscle to work longer and repair faster. Although manufactures have made millions from the consumer and this product has been determined to be a useful supplemental aid, they fail to produce research on the long and short-term effects of this product. Much is not known about this supplement and until it has been fully determined to be a safe product; more research should be developed, restrictions should be put on sales and warning signs
Creatine isn’t only appealing to those who want to get into shape, but it also attracts to
There is more than one health risk linked with the consumption of creatine; one of these risks is muscle cramping. The reason muscle cramping has been noticed is because creatine is a supplement that uses water in order for the production of ATP, therefore any person using this product should drink plenty of water. This statement can prove that muscle cramping has been determined to be caused by the lack of water in ones diet. However, manufactures have failed to produce evidence that other short-term effects are harmless. For example, the liver and intestines are both important organs that filtrate creatine through the body. These organs are continuously effected by the loading of creatine into the body and could be in danger.
