Creatine - why you need it

[Coach Kent Ganevsky]

I have found that creatine monohydrate to be he most effective bodybuilding supplement in the marketplace. Some of creatine's users include Olympic medallists, professional athletes, and of course bodybuilders.

So, what is creatine? Creatine is nitrogenous organic acid which naturally occurs in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to muscle and nerve cells. Creatine was identified in 1832 when Michel Eugène Chevreul discovered it as a component of skeletal muscle which he later named creatine after the Greek word for flesh, Kreas.

In the human body, approximately half of the daily creatine is biosynthesized mainly in the vertebrates by the use of parts from three different amino acids - arginine, glycine, and methionine. The rest is taken in by alimentary sources mainly from fresh fish and meat. 95% of it is later stored in the skeletal muscles, with the rest in the brain, heart, testes, inner ear hair cells (Shin et al. 2007) and other organs and cells (Hemmer and Wallimann 1994; Wallimann et al. 1992; 2007).

In 1923 that scientists discovered that over 95% of creatine is stored in muscle tissue. The first published report of creatine having bodybuilding effects was The Journal of Biological Chemistry in,1926! Although we've known about creatine for quite some time, the first real use of it to enhance performance was the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona, Spain.

Our bodies naturally make the Creatine compound, which is used to supply energy to our muscles. It is produced in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys, and is transported to the body's muscles through the bloodstream. Once it reaches the muscles, it is converted into phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate). This high-powered metabolite is used to regenerate the muscles' ultimate energy source, ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Creatine also plays an important role in the nervous system, where it provides the energy for proper neuronal functioning as well as for recovery from trauma and disease. Tests have shown that inherited conditions where cellular creatine levels are severely depressed, will inevitably give rise to neurodegenerative disorders,

I drink the Myogenix Products all day long and I can tell a difference whenever I do not use them. I have put some of the different routines and results that I have had in my Online Magazine

The main thing is that Creatine Works!!
