What Is Creatine?
Creatine monohydrate is a compound made by the human body and is also a component of our everyday diets to gain muscle. The main sources are fish, meat and poultry. Creatine is found in any foods containing animal muscle.
The typical western diet contains about 1 gram of creatine per day, other then vegetarians who consume next to none. Our body doesn’t receive sufficient amounts of creatine just from the food we eat. Creatine is produced in the liver, pancreas and kidneys, and is transported to the body’s muscles through the bloodstream. About 95% of our body’s stores are found in the skeletal muscle, and our daily turnover adds up to around 2grams.
When Creatine is transferred to the muscle it is transformed into creatine phosphate with amounts varying from person to person. This high-powered metabolite is used to regenerate the muscles main energy source, ATP. When you do heavy exercise your levels of ATP drop rapidly and creatine is responsible for restoring the levels of ATP. Read More→
Get Rid of those Nasty Stretch Marks!
Posted by: | CommentsEw, stretch marks… nobody likes them! Just when you’ve finally lost a lot of weight and built some nice muscles, these nasty stretch marks just creep up to ruin everything! If you don’t already know, they appear when your body has quick development changes resulting from bodybuilding, thinning, or pregnancy. Because your body is growing rapidly, the tissue fibers underneath your skin start tearing up because of too much stretching. This results in the unattractive scars that can appear across the body. In order to eliminate these stretch marks, there are various items you can use to make the scars fade away.
One of the easiest ways is by consuming Vitamin E capsules. By absorbing vitamin E, it will help create collagen to slowly get rid of the scars. You can also try to drink milk and eat other foods that are rich in vitamin E nutrients, such as almonds and spinach.
However, using vitamin E won’t work for everyone. If that method doesn’t work for you, then you’re going to have to use stretch mark removal creams. These are specifically designed to get rid of scars that occur due to the skin stretching.
The stretch mark removal creams work by providing collagen to fortify the skin, and elastins to support the tissues and protect the tissues from further damage when being stretched. When the scars on your skin develop, they also contain protein that need to be removed. The creams will also provide the necessary enzymes to break that protein down.
When you use a stretch mark removal cream, you can expect to see significant results in about 2-3 weeks.
If you’re wondering about what kind of stretch removal creams are effective, here are a couple that I personally recommend… I’ve used them with clients in the past and each of these have worked successfully for them.

If protein supplements are the best, then creatine comes as an extremely close second place as a supplement for weight lifters. Creatine has been scientifically proven to be a safe and successful supplement for athletes and weight lifters that want to have more massive muscle gains.
When using creatine correctly, it can help a person gain an additional 5-10 pounds of lean muscle in a short amount of time. There have been a multitude of studies done on the use of creatine, and all of them have shown how safe and effective it is. A lot of these studies were conducted using creatine monohydrate, which was the first and most basic version of creatine in the marketplace. Read More→
