Creatine – One of the best supplements

Supplements must have important place in our diet, but of course not the most important. We can also build without any supplement but with proper nutrition plan, but with supplements it is very easier and faster. Why you must eat 6 big meals when you can eat 4 meals and drink 2 protein shakes to consume all nutrients that you need to feed muscles. So, we all know that there not many bodybuilders out there that don’t use supplements in their diet and why not to use them when best of those supplements ain’t even very expensive? And they are not dangerous for our health if we consume them properly.

So, when we finished about why should we use supplements let’s say something about Creatine. Some of big guys that I met when I started working out in gym mentioned Creatine as “Natural Steroid”, that really made me very curious and I had to try it. After month of taking Creatine I already saw some muscle gains and incredible strength gain. I went from lifting 80 pounds on Bench Press to lifting more than 120 pounds as beginner in just one month. That was amazing to me, I continued using Creatine with some pauses from time to time. It is very recommended to pause after two months of taking it. I usually pause after finishing my 300 grams of Creatine.

Best time to take creatine is after your workout and you can mix creatine with your protein shake as great post-workout meal. Add some fast and low-digesting carbs and you will make a perfect fuel for your muscles after training. In non-workout day you can take it soon as you wake up for better effect.

What Creatine is Best?

Well, nobody can say which is best creatine but the one that is most researched and reviewed is Creatine Monohydrate. It is cheap and I it is enough. You don’t need any modern Creatine that is advertised as the best, most powerful or something else. Pick a creatine monohydrate from a good supplements brand and that will do the job. Expensive and modern don’t means better. Old-School Bodybuilders had only Creatine Monohydrate in the beggining and that was enough for them and it will be enough for all of us.
