How Creatnine Supplements Can Benefit Us
Creatine is generally known as an amino acid produced in the body and can be obtained from meat and other animal products. Creatine is also scientifically termed as creatine monohydrate. It is a crystalline and transparent chemical that the muscle tissue uses up in producing phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine is an important ingredient needed to form the adenosine triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the source of energy for the contraction of muscles and other functions of the body.
Creatine is converted into the molecule known as phosphocreatine, which is important for the tissues including voluntary muscles and the nervous system. Energy in large amounts is needed in these specific parts of our body.
The potential of creatine to enhance the performance of athletes in situations where large amounts of energy are required has been emphasized in several studies. Bodybuilders seem to be the group who pays the greatest importance to creatine. Athletes who are participating in endurance activities are not recommended to take creatine since creatine caters more on muscle mass, and these athletes should focus more on muscle endurance. Nevertheless, muscle mass may also be caused by other factors such as water retention, aside from the increase in muscle tissue.
The advantages of creatine in neuromuscular disorders have been emphasized in two scientific studies. Flint Beal of Cornell University Medical Center conducted a study that received fundings from MDA. Beal's study emphasized that creatine was stronger and more effective compared to riluzole, a prescription drug, in prolonging the lifespan of mice suffering with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or Lou Geghrig's disease), considered to be a degenerative neural disease. Another study was made by Canadian researchers, Mark Tarnopolsky and Joan Martin from McMaster University Medical University in Ontario. This study highlighted that creatine can lead to minor increases in strength among individuals afflicted with neuromuscular disorders. The March 1999 issue of Nature Neuroscience published Beal's study while the study of Tarnopolsky and Martin sought publication in Neurology March 1999 issue.
No negative side effects have been reported yet by most of the athletes who have been taking creatine. However, several reports confirmed the link between using creatine and kidney damages. However, creatine supplementation has not been reported to be a potential cause of toxicity as of the moment. But, taking creatine may lead to difficulties or complications in dehydration.
Taking an initial dose of 20 grams per day for five or six days is prevalent among athletes. After that, they proceed to a maintenance dose of 2 to 5 grams per day for the succeeding days.
The long-term causes of supplementing creatine have not been studied yet. Diarrhea and muscle cramping are the most evident negative effects of supplementing creatine. Some reports also revealed that short-term small amounts or long-term big amounts of creatine supplements do not have any effect on the functions of liver and kidney among healthy young adults. Kidney function was not altered even after five years of creatine supplementation, as revealed in a study of individuals taking 5030 grams a day. However, some studies provided anecdotal reports of muscle cramping after creatine supplementation.

Discount Creatine
Creatine is a non-protein amino acid that is produced by the human body. It is produced by the liver, kidneys and pancreas from existing amino acids and from the food we take. Creatine helps in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a major source of energy for the body. The body produces 2-4g of Creatine daily. The main food sources of Creatine are fish and red meat.
Creatine is used as a dietary and food supplement, especially by sports people. The ability of Creatine to generate sudden bursts of energy when the body is exerted makes it an effective drug for people participating in sports like weightlifting, wrestling or sprinting. Creatine content in the body can be improved marginally by consuming more red meat and fish. But for some extra Creatine, most people depend on Creatine supplements available in the form of tablets, capsules or powder. Creatine supplements are approved by the FDA as a food supplement and are considered to be as safe as vitamin supplements though caution should be taken regarding the dosage. However, taking too much Creatine is also not very harmful as the body can absorb only a certain quantity and the rest is expelled from the body through the kidneys.
There are several Creatine supplement products in the market today. These are available in different forms and sizes meant for different kinds of people. Creatine supplements are available in different flavors and even in chewable forms. Discount Creatine supplements are also available at lower prices ranging from £4.99 for a 100g bottle, £14.99 for a 500g bottle and £21.99 for a 1KG bottle. There are many websites over the Internet that offer advice about discount Creatine. The products can also be ordered online. Wholesale dealers are another source of obtaining discount Creatine. Buying by bulk proves to be generally much cheaper.

Andre Agassi's Drugs Confession
In his autobiography "Open", Andre Agassi controversially confesses to taking the recreational drug crystal meth while competing on the ATP tour back in 1997, and perhaps even more shockingly, to asking / allowing a friend to take the rap when he failed a doping test around the same time. Now, if it had been bad-boy John McEnroe who had made the admission, perhaps no one would have been that surprised, but the fact that it was Andre Agassi, who was (and still is) regarded as one of tennis's greatest ambassadors makes it doubly unpalatable.
Andre went on after that episode to regain tennis's top spot and win numerous titles - one wonders what would have happened if he'd been banned for his drug-taking. Would his career have taken off in the same way? Obviously we'll never know. Andre has since expressed his regret over the incident, but the question is: why did he feel the need to make the disclosure in the first place? What does he hope to achieve?
Marat Safin, another former world number one and grand slam winner, recently had the following to say:
He feels guilty? So let him just give back his titles, money, his grand slams! If he is so fair play, he should go all the way. You know, ATP have a bank account, he can refund if he wants to.
Safin also goes on to speculate about Andre's motives for the disclosure, suggesting that it's all about selling his book. There may well be substance to that - I've certainly not heard a more convincing reason yet. At best though, one feels that it's an ill-advised move which is unlikely to enhance Agassi's reputation. Fortunately he has a lot of moral capital to draw on, built up by years of humanitarian and charitable work.
